Back at Sacramento State with the College of Business.
Staff and student portraits this round. The challenge with repeat clients is keeping the work consistent without repeating the same image.
Shot around 4PM. Used a scrim to control the sun, then a simple two-light setup with Godox lights and Phottix modifiers, locked in on Benro tripods. Captured on my Nikon system.
Tethered into Capture One so the team could review in real time.
Every shoot is about reading the space, controlling the light, and finding something new.
🎶 Absolute goosebumps.
The Petersens— “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
Julianne Petersen’s warm, soulful lead vocals paired with those tight family harmonies turn Bob Dylan’s 1962 classic into pure bluegrass magic. Intimate, emotional, and absolutely breathtaking.
One strobe. Downtown Sacramento. A tuxedo.
Recently met up with my friend Sam Altawil to make some portraits and experiment with a simple one-light setup using reflections bouncing off the buildings.

Rest in peace, Chuck Norris (1940-2026). The ultimate 'man's man'—Air Force vet, martial arts legend, and the tough-guy hero who defined 80s action with Walker, Texas Ranger and those epic roundhouse kicks. It feels like we're losing that whole generation of strong, no-nonsense icons one by one. Thanks for the memories and the laughs, Chuck. You'll never truly be gone—your jokes live on forever! 💪🕊️ #ChuckNorris #RIP #ActionHeroLegend"
USAF F-16s SURF31 & 32 scrambled from March ARB, CA, early this morning (Pacific Time) to identify and intercept an “unidentified object” heading northeast in the upper flight levels over Northern California. A civilian cargo aircraft was able to visually confirm the object “glowing and dimming” before the F-16s arrived on station.
USAF KC-135R GASMN03 provided tanker support.
THROWBACK: When 40-year-old Jerry Rice was dominating the league on the #Raiders.
Rice had 92 catches, 1,211 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns, helping lead them to the Super Bowl.
At 40, Rice was still playing at a Hall of Fame level.
Ridiculous career.https://t.co/uwImSUOuXv
