I know this blog has been a touch too quiet in the last two months, so it might look like I haven’t been all that busy during the winter months.  Far from it though! 

A big priority was to catch up on albums and album designs – and I’ll definitely post them here as soon as they start arriving from the album company in the next week or so.

Aside from that, I also started up the 2009 series workshops that I present across the USA.  With my workshops I help other photographers with their lighting and their use of flash.  Here are a few images of the models we had at the two workshops I presented in San Francisco two weeks ago:

I also made some effort to hone my own skills in lighting, photographing several models while trying out new lighting equipment:

And I also managed to attend a workshop on pin-up style photography.  Robert Alvarado, a renowned pin-up style photographer whom I greatly admire, presented his workshop in Chicago, and I flew out specially to attend the workshop and learn from him.  Here are two images taken at the workshop, photographed and processed in his style.
