You just might find me and some of my pictures from Sierra Leone looking up at you.

05/11/09For the past several years, I have either hosted or photographed a special charity concert benefetting "Artists for the Arts" - an organization dedicated to sustaining arts programs in the Santa Monica-Malibu school districts. The night is always magical as the students join such legendary artists as Jackson Browne and Heart on stage for a night of unbelievable performances. This year, as always, my dear friends in the band, Venice, will perform with Billy Idol and Dave Mason. I'm pumped about Dave Mason! Check out this clip on YouTube - one of my favorite songs! And Billy Idol! Are you kidding?! Here's a clip of him singing "Dancing with Myself." The show will take place on May 30th at 6:30pm in the Santa Monica High School Amphitheater. Please come support this important program! To buy tickets, you can visit www.smmef.org. You can get a taste of the event by looking in the image gallery called "Artists for the Arts." |

05/08/09I'm so glad you all are reading over my "news", because I have something important I want to share with you. I was moved beyond words in Sierra Leone and am more anxious than ever to show the world a glimpse of what I saw. I am working with a book publishing company called BLURB to design and release a book of the special images I captured on my journey in Africa. The book will be available for purchase later this year with all proceeds going back into Lighthouse Medical Missions under the stewardship of Dr. Bob Hamilton. For a preview of the pictures that will be included in the book, please take a look in the video gallery at a slideshow I threw together.

05/08/09If you've viewed the slideshow of pictures from Sierra Leone either on the home page or in the video gallery, then you know how powerful the background music is. All the credit is due one young man that I first met at a photography workshop in Mendocino in 2008. Matthew Schoening is a phenomenal electric cellist and a friend I'm happy to promote here on my site! You can find him atwww.MrCelloMan.com or on YouTube. |

02/26/09I am incredibly excited to share with you an opportunity that has presented itself to me—I will be heading to Sierra Leone in early April with Dr. Bob Hamilton and a team of physicians, nurses, and volunteers to document the life-changing work that is being done to help this impoverished nation. With camera gear in tow, I will be traveling around the country capturing the despair of those in need and the hope these volunteers provide. I feel blessed to be a part of the team and only hope that my photographic work bring awareness to the call for help from around the world. |
