May this Thanksgiving bring you joy, love, and connection with the people who matter most, and may it inspire a sense of gratitude and positivity that stays with you throughout the year.

Enterprise gave me a Ram Truck as a temporary rental. It's ridiculously huge, I have to park it on the street because it won't fit in my garage. And when I looked under the hood, I swear half the engine was MIA 🤣

This never gets old. My station this evening while our Grand Hope is out if the countty

Since last November we have heard many people mention that their home insurance was being cancer because of moss growth detected in images purchased by insurance carriers. We have helped clients prove that their tile roof is clean and the insurance company was in error.

If you have received an insurance letter of cancellation due to your roof condition, reach out to us for an aerial survey of the roof and get our photos and video for your insurance company.

On Friday, I had the opportunity to photograph a private stage production in Pasadena, CA. Despite being familiar with the narrative, this particular performance was truly exceptional. I am very happy with the results for my client As per my client's requirements, the photographs are private and cannot be shared, as a selection of them will be featured in a forthcoming publication later this year.

On this day we recognize the many talented woman that have made it possible for young girls to set their sights being anything they want to be. To list just a few: Ruth Ginsburg, Jane Goodall, Shirley Muldowney, Oprah Winfrey, Christa McAuliffe, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris.

Late in the summer we photographed a sunset beach wedding for a client in Oceanside, CA. Nature can be great or a real PITA if it does not cooperate (think fog, rain, wind, etc). Lucky for the bride, groom and many guests the evening weather was perfect. Our client was absolutely thrilled with our Video and Photography services.

Over the weekend I photographed a convention at the California Masonic/Event Center in San Francisco. The project involved many long lens shots of award ceremonies and speeches. Another regular shot at this annual event is the “cable-car shot”. It involves planning and patience to get these young ladies onto the running board of the cable car. The cable car operators have always helped us to get the shot.

In mid-June we traveled to Las Vegas Nevada to photograph portions of an annual state convention of Nevada Rainbow Girls. We captured drone video and edited a “Fly through” video, giving guests a new view of their convention area.

In late June we captured drone footage at the San Diego County Fair, prior to the fairgrounds opening to the public.

In July we had a few aerial observation jobs in San Diego County.
