I'm writing to you from a tiny island in the Dominican Republic. Its pitch black outside. ...nbsp;My balcony door is open. The AC is off. ...nbsp;Its hot and muggy. The crickets and frogs are in full effect. It sounds like a jungle out there. Such an incredible feeling....nbsp;

Haven't spoken to my family in a few days because my phone doesn't work here. ...nbsp;What a big suprise to find Wi-Fi on this little patch of land in the ocean. It blows my mind. From all this I remember that I need to disconnect more often from my life as a business owner. Its hard to unplug at home, but here it feels like second nature. ...nbsp;

I took these pictures with help from my driver ...quot;Charro....quot; ...nbsp;She took me around the mainland to some of the craziest places. This series is a mix of city pictures from Santa Domingo. The food is incredible, the fruit is ripe and delicious. Dominicans are a colorful bunch. Their language is romantic and interesting. ...nbsp;The division of wealth is stark, but in all walks of life I found hard-working and happy people. ...nbsp;These people gave me so much joy in sparing a couple minutes to snap pictures....nbsp;Taking pictures from dawn until dusk reminds me how much I love being a photographer. I'm running on 4 hours of sleep and don't miss the other 4 hours at all....nbsp;Please enjoy this series! leave comments if ya feel like it.

I love the way she came in super lean and determined to make the best out of her session....nbsp; It rained. It was freezing. We shot into the night. And Liz didn't flinch....nbsp; I love that about her....nbsp; Check out her pics and remember that face. You might see her at Wimbledon one day.

The original product line expanded and I shot some images to enhance their latest packaging. Its a rush seeing photos used like this....nbsp; You might think recognition feels good, but I love the thrill of tangible marketing. When customers ask for ...quot;just the files...quot; we hardly see the final product make it to the other side (print). Its a rewarding accomplishment to see my photos in print via public circulation instead of merely taking up space on a hard drive. I'm fortunate that TowelDry showcases my pictures and has killer design elements. This client emphasized the important of using pictures as a hallmark of their company brand. As if the work wasn't exciting enough, I've had the opportunity to meet awesome crews and top talent while shooting these campaigns. Its a fast-paced and enjoyable experience. The first year we shot in a custom built home for a boat owner on the show Deadliest Catch. The next one we photographed Abercrombie model Daniel Jarrett in freezing temps at Old City Hall in Tacoma. The next shoot went down at Newport beach and Balboa Island. This customer is the one I can't wait to hear from. TowelDry started as a one-man-show in Redmond and grew rapidly nationwide! This salon-only product is not tested on animals (bonus) and donates to charity often. They offer holiday products too. You can buy online here. I'm looking forward to another advertising photography shoot with them in 2012. Check out the latest packages!
