Did another shoot with duPont Registry’s Celebrity Car magazine today. I’ve been meeting some of the greatest sports celebrities working with this publication. Boxing Champion Antonio Tarver, Motorcross Champion Bubba Stewart, Buccaneer Cato June, Indy Car Champ Dan Wheldon, wrestler Dave Batista, Buccaneer Derrick Brooks and today it’s WWE Superstar John Cena.

While at the House of Blues in Orlando I put together a shoot for Sonny Mayo to be used by one of his sponsors Mesa Boogie amps. The same day we did a shoot for Morgan Rose and Ddrums. Then I finished out the day by shooting Sevendust for their new website. You got to love it, one day, three shoots, three different clients.

The AVP stadium went up in 2 days at the St. Pete Times Forum. Kerri Walsh and her beach volleyball partner, Misty May-Treanor won the tournament. I took pictures of the Men’s finals also, but who cares they don’t look as cute in their bikinis as the girls do!

OK it’s off to a secret location somewhere in Atlanta Georgia to start recording the band Sevendust’s next CD “Alpha”. For a Music Photographer it doesn’t get any better than this. 3-4 days of just shooting what goes on behind closed doors. For me this is the exciting part because no one else gets to see this stuff. Add to that, this is the funniest group of people that I have ever met. If the music doesn’t work out for them they should all be stand up comics. My sides hurt from laughing all day..

Something I love about my job is it’s different every day. One of my clients is the St. Pete Times Forum. One of the busiest venues in the US. So when I heard we were having the finals of the AKC Dog show I had no idea what to expect. There I am backstage trying to get some shots of the groomers and the dogs. Who do I see coming towards me but Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Turns out that Joe breeds German Shepherds. I took some photos of Joe, his wife and son with a Neapolitan Mastiff. This photo is not an optical Illusion this is a 200 pound dog.

 Tonight is New Years night and I got a last minute call to cover drummer Morgan Rose of the band Sevendust for Drum Magazine.

I did my first shoot with duPont Registry’s Celebrity Car magazine. The assignment, take hockey superstar Vinny Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lightning his $200,000.00 360 Ferrari Spider and his Hummer out onto the center ice. Can you say 400 horse power Zamboni? When the shoot was over Vinny jumped in the Ferrari and just tapped the gas, needless to say he lit the rear end up. You could not even let the clutch out without spinning the tires. We ended up pushing the car off the ice in one piece.
