My friend Jade (who also happens to be my favorite makeup artist) is expecting her second child in May. We’ve been working on a series of images chronicling her progress and I really liked how this one came out…
(The name is pronounced JAH-dee, btw .. she’s American Indian.. Creek, if I remember right.)

Had a shoot with one of my photographer groups last week at a nearby small airport. We had classic planes and classic cars (and one Harley) as well as some local models at our disposal. This is a strobist group, so everything you see is lit with small flashes and modifiers mixed with ambient light. Of course, I made a few headshots while I had them as well.

And a couple more of the lovely Zuzzie. I could shoot this woman all day…

Long time readers of my blog know I have a fascination with old motel and other neon signs. They are products of a bygone era in most cases, abandoned on the side of the road where sometimes even the building they once marked is gone. This particular sign is just outside of Abilene along the old US-80. The motel itself is abandoned, condemned, overgrown. The sign is faded and weatherbeaten, most of its former glory gone. Just enough of it remains to give a hint of what it once was – bright, cheery, drawing attention from motorists who needed a place to stop for the night. What a sight it must have been with the sun setting behind it while it was lit in all its neon glory. You can almost feel the classic cars around you in the now overgrown and nearly gone parking lot.
