Gamer…the Portrait
Hi Friends, In between client work, it’s important to keep the creative juices flowing.

Zero to 100MPH in Six Seconds…Shooting the Lambo Gallardo Superleggera
Zoom zoom! My good friend, Booker, will be photographing the upcoming prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance for Garage Style Magazine.
