Studio Portraits

Spent some time with photographer Gaston Lacombe in the studio last week photographing Juan Luis and Fabien. 

Baseball photo featured in Pixcetera

This post is only about three months late but that's ok.  My baseball photo that won for best student advertising at FotoWeek DC 2009 is part of a featured gallery at Pixcetera.  If you haven't visited their site before now is your chance.  They have a great selection of galleries ranging from fashion to food to lifestyle:
