Sydney



It had been a pretty hectic last few weeks with work when I got a call form a friend in San Francisco. She told me of her friend Randy and his dog Sydney. Sydney the yellow lab and her brother/littermate Apollo came to be with Randy 9 years ago. Unfortunately Randy is being advised that for the comfort of Sydney that she be quietly put to sleep. So until then Randy will be spending as many precious moments with her and Apollo as he can. As an animal lover and dog owner I sympathize whole-heartedly with Randy and hope that he has many cherished memories of Sydney to hold on to. Take heart in hoping that when our time is near the end, as we slowly ascend, a wet nose and a wagging tail waits for you at Heaven's gate.

DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE

Three score and ten are given to man,
But ours is a much briefer span.
So, though I give you all my heart,
The time will come when we must part.
But all around you, you will see,
Creatures that speak to you of me;
A tired horse, a hunted thing,
A sparrow with a broken wing ...
Pity - and help (I know you will)
And somehow, I will be with you still;
And I shall know, although I'm gone,
The love I gave you lingers on.


Please make sure to turn your volume up and on.

My good friend Patrick finally did it! He asked his girlfriend Linda to be his wife. And it only took a little over a decade! Right on Pat. You made a wise choice my friend, you hooked her before she realized that you were dating waay out of your league! Just kidding. You guys are an awesome couple and I wish you the verybest!

I hope you enjoy your photos, and they will be posted online soon!



We were going to go to the Japanese friendship garden in Balboa Park, but who frickin' knew that it was going to be Free Admission Tuesday! Every tourist and their mother was in the garden and we didn't really feel like an audience so we moved the party over to the Prado.

...reporting live from the FOX 5 Launch Party!


Tonight was the official Launch Party of the new FOX 5 Channel in San Diego (formerly the CW) at the wonderful San Diego Hall of Champions in amazing Balboa Park and man was it a blast. In years prior when there was a Fall preview or other such event, it was either at the station or at the Wave House in OB. Great times were had to be sure, but this venue was definitely a departure in the right direction. Right off the bat the ambience was great and the music provided by Massey Productions was makin' people shake their thing a little.Saw some familiar faces and some new faces from the station. The people who work behind the scenes who make the machine run smooth. I don't get to see you guys enough because when I do I have a great time. After catching up with Will Givens and Sandi Banister, the guests began to make their way in to the venue, and what better way to make an entrance than with the San Diego Charger Girls! Lets just say that this was not one of the more difficult parts of my job. The Charger Girls were all very personable and we had a laugh or two! They even stuck around and performed a short dance routine to kick off the night right!

After a brief video and a few short words from Scott Heath, Ray Schonbock, and Ed Wilson some of the on air talent began to trickle in. First to make it in was Arthel Neville looking fabulous. Girl, I don't know what kinda voodoo you are doin' but you look great as always. Glad to have you in San Diego, alongside Chrissy Russo who does the weather in the mornings.
By the way Chrissy, I thought I recognized you from my business trips on Continental. Things were running pretty smooth and I was getting some great shots when I peered over to the front door and spied trouble making its way in. Kyle Hunter, Kendis Gibson and principal party girl Kathleen Bade were ready to get down!

Kyle Hunter, gotta tell you bro, your hair looks great in HD. For those of you who don't know Kyle, click this link to get a look of him early in his career when his hair wasn't as awesome as it is now. P.S. Kyle, how hard is the weather in San Diego? "Right now its 77 degrees, and lets check out forecast for the next YEAR. Oh look, mostly sunny with a high of 77 degrees." Hope you like it in San Diego and keep up the great weather!

Kendis, Kendis, Kendis.

I KNOW you like the weather better here than in Atlanta. Although it looked like you were pretty thirsty tonight at the party, if you know what I mean... Ahem. Your secret is safe with me bro....FOR A PRICE! Just kidding, you can have the photos for your Myspace and Facebook.

Ah, Kathleen Bade.

You could tell the kids were at home because she was ready for Dancing with the Stars with those dance moves! By the way, I am curious, does it suck to be so attractive that you are the envy of all the other news channels in San Diego or do you just love it? It was great to see you and I am glad to see you back on the air.
Thank you FOX 5 for inviting me to photograph your event. Everyone at the station is so cool that I could never come up with enough adjectives to compliment you guys!

Kobe Beef Burgers & The Katy Perry Shoot

Had a fun-tastic time helping out my buddy Sandy Huffaker at the Katy Perry Shoot. This is where I really feel at home. The modelling shoots, the makeup, hairdressers, diva 'tudes and non-stop texting. I love it! Actually Katy Perry was very sweet and a very real person. Gorgeous too- what a body! The sun was a little troublesome, but nothing that my good old scrim couldn't fix!
The clouds were out early and that was great for decreasing the shadows but apparently you can never apply enough makeup. C'mon lady, the poor girl is already pretty, how much frickin more eyeliner does she need? ANSWER: Not that frickin' much. And definitely not between every 5 shots.
Highlight of the day? When her people picked up lunch! First I was gonna just pick up a BLT, but hell, why not a KOBE BEEF burger?!
Had the opportunity to meet a delightfully interesting "alien of extraordinary ability" (inside joke). Sophie Harris was a journalist from London who was writing a piece on Katy's success in the UK for the London Times. Loved her vibrant energy and her travel experiences. Hope I have the opportunity to work and see her again. Sophie, you have an open invitation here in SD. We'll save a fish taco for you!
