Too Close To Home

A couple of months ago I was honored to have my good friend Sandy ask me to shoot a portrait of him to feature in News Photographer magazine for the NPPA (National Press Photographers Association).

The story in the magazine was an account of the day and how the events unfolded and how Sandy responded to it.

In the rush of trying to get his camera equipment to the crash site Sandy dropped one of his (more expensive) Canon lenses; a casualty of the days events. Canon, if you are listening, he could use a new lens.

A little bit of 2008.

The Sky is Falling

Veteran independent photojournalist Sandy Huffaker Jr. was at home working with his wife in a residential neighborhood of San Diego, California on December 8th when he heard the familiar sound of a jet inbound towards nearby MCAS Miramar. This time however, the sound was much louder and more powerful than any other time before. As he looked out of his front door he saw the F/A-18 lurching in the sky and soon after the pilot ejecting. Thinking quickly he nervously grabbed for his camera equipment and in the process dropped some of it while racing to the nearby scene, breaking a valuable lens in the commotion.

Living so improbably close to this accident made it possible for Sandy to be one of the first people on the scene to document the unfolding tragedy, all the while realizing that he could have been the news if the jet had crashed just a few blocks west of its final destination.


His photos of the accicent have run on the front covers of many newspapers running around the nation as well as internationally.

Remembering Kai Haug

A few days after Kai Haug's second birthday his parents noticed he wasn't hanging on to the swing with his left hand.  A couple of days later after getting off the swing he came over to get a drink out of a water bottle. The bottle had a flip top lid and when he tried to open it, his hand was limp.

Kai Haug was 3 years old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April 2006. He underwent surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. A routine scan in April of 2007 showed progression of the disease. He underwent a 2^nd surgery and battled this disease with childlike faith and courage.

Kai was diagnosed on April 8, 2006 with a Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor. He underwent surgery on April 10,2006. In May he became a patient at St. Jude Children's Research hospital in Memphis, TN. He began 10 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by 6 weeks of radiation, followed by another 40 weeks of chemotherapy. A routine scan on April 9,2007 (8 weeks before he completed treatment) showed progression of the disease. On May 3, 2007 Kai underwent a second surgery to remove the tumor.

It was in July that I had the opportunity to actually meet Kai and his whole family, including his Father Eric and his wonderful mother Jenica.  Friends had arranged for them to come out to the beach in San Diego all the way from Las Vegas and have a portrait of the family taken.  I cannot even begin to tell you how much this little boy and his family has touched my life.  It was an experience that I will forever remember.

Unfortunately Kai passed last year on December 7th, 2007, but you can still see Kai and his mommy Jenica in this video for St. Jude's Research at around :39 seconds.  This holiday season I ask all of you, please contribute if you can so that we can prevent this from happening to anymore families.  Please go to St. Judes website by clicking here.

Angela & Gene

Right before Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to photograph a great group for a wedding at Coronado Island! Angela and Gene had flown themselves and a posse of great friends down from San Jose to be with them while they tied the knot on the beach around sunset! It was a little blustery and the clouds weren't very cooperative but we made do and came away with some good shots! I love it when you get a couple thats just attractive as can be! It makes it all come together.

When I first came across them I thought I might be in for some trouble as they were all hyper-amped like after a few red bulls and vodka with furious texting and phone-calling but they soon all came together and the portraits were SUPER fun! All the women were just HOT! I mean there was not a Slump Buster in sight! Couldn't have taken a bad photo if I wanted to! I even developed a tiny crush on on of them while I was there (Of course I'll never say which one).




The Bride, Angela was just as exquisite as could be and radiated beauty with the love of the ceremony and her friends! She and her Groom to be, Gene were frickin' awesome! They were so down that they even got some sexy sexy shots on the shore line! I love it when a couple just goes all out! It's once in a lifetime, right? So why not!



Angela and Gene, thanks for making the experience fun all the way around! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!
