A return to the arena

Its that time again. Being back in LA means back to work in the film industry, as well as back to the equestrian arena.

There is a beauty between horse and rider that is most evident during the jumping competition. This is a testiment to the rider, the horse and the trainer.

As I'm not a huge fan of the standard comfirmation imagery that is most common when photographing these events, so Im always looking for the perfect moment of execution.

Im sure you're all familiar with the companies that contract with the Equestrian centers to shoot confirmation imagery of your riding events. While the results are acceptable for a basic photo documentation of your class and execution, I offer my services to you and your stable mates to work specifically for you to not only get excellent confirmation imagery, but to capture those fleeting moments happen between you and your horse.

If you would like to have me cover your event, Please contact me via email or contact me at the numbers listed on the site. Rates and packages available on request.

cheers

Where Angels Play

Noted as one of the last great Movie palaces built between 1911 - 1931 In downtown Los Angeles. The LA Theatre was designed by S. Charles Lee.

The LA theatre has been a popular location for film and television productions. I have found myself working in this theatre at least a couple of times a year. Each time Im so struck by the French Baroque architecture as its my most favorite style.

In the past 12 years, Ive probably found myself working in this theatre once or twice a year. Each time Ive not had the time to photograph this remenant of days gone by.

However, recently I had the good fortune to have just a few moments on my way out the door while working on CSI:NY to capture an image of the lobby of this intricate theatre. It wasnt enough time to get everything I wanted. but I was glad to get this image.

In a city where your inundated with plastic surgery commercials, male enhancement ads and hundreds of dating and relationship finding companies, its really refreshing to visit a place the echos the romance and dignity of a much less decadant period of time.
