The Mikey Show!

Thursday, January 28, 2010 Posted in Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 85mm II f/1.2, Car Wash, Encinitas, FM 94.9, Portrait, Radio, The Mikey Show

Had a great time shooting the crew for The Mikey Show. What an incredible group of people. I ended up shooting Mikey and the crew (Jay, Woods, Serena and Lauren) at an old fashioned car wash in Encinitas and in an alley behind the car wash. We had some cool available light and then I killed the harsh day light with a two light strobe set up…..some real fun!

The new Mikey Show starts this Monday in San Diego on FM 94.9…..the home of the hottest morning radio show in Southern California, now that Mikey has made the move. Please check them out each morning. You can bet that you will laugh and have a great time getting to know the lives of these just super cool people.

Enjoy a few of the images from the shoot…..

My Girls at the Beach….

Thursday, January 14, 2010 Posted in Beach, CA, Darby Fields, Family, Ponto Beach, Portrait, Savannah Fields, Whitney Fields

OK….my wife and I finally nailed down a time to shoot her and the girls at the beach. Amazing that we (photogs) rarely make time to shoot our own families, but I got to today! We had a blast with the girls at Ponto Beach a few minutes from where we live…..great sunset…..rocks….. Darby is the blonde….11 years old and growing fast…..Savannah is the 8 year old. They are flanked by an amazing mother, Whitney….very pretty girl I might add!

(This shoot was very technically challenging and fun since most of these shots were taken by using a professional strobe light and umbrella with a portable battery pack….this allowed me to expose the background how I wanted and fill the light on the girls as well)

Our beautiful two girls....Savannah and Darby

Swamis….

Sunday, January 3, 2010 Posted in Beach, Surfing, Swamis

Had a great morning of shooting the guys as they welcome Swamis into the New Year. The colors were amazing…..sun rising over my left shoulder and into the break….just a great time of capturing these amazing colors and surfers.

The swell started off crazy….thick….mushy, even looked like they were surfing in milk at times. There were several out there shredding the entire morning….I even think I saw Johnny Utah and Bhodi out there……

Enjoy the images!

John Cobian (of Cobian Sandles) enjoying the waves....

Amazing watching this kid....he was going off....

This wave was chasing this guy all morning long...

I love capturing moments like this.....it aint the "Jersey Shore", but still looks pretty.....ha

Alex Garcia was killing it all morning long....

Nice spray Alex...

See....look at that....MILK!

Notice how this board is in one piece at this point in the morning....

Thinking "I think I want to break my board today...yup...."

Chris Blabac joins us for a few sets.....

This body surfer at the right place at the right time....

Still in one piece....he really should work harder at breaking this long thing....

Blabac killing it....

Surf Depth.....

Matthew Schuttte...cool guy....with Sunova Surfboards just raging out there.....loved it!

Surfing the Sunova board......a beautiful beast.....

Ugh....who's THAT guy?!....sorry Matthew....dude just didnt respect what was going on here....lol

Ok, to me.....Matthew is actually flying here.....totally looks like it....

Ahh....more surf depth.....love it! Matthew, HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!

Always a classic shot...

Seriously....backwards?.....

This kid was killing it all morning long....

What an amazing spot for a stretch.....only at Swamis.....

The wave is going the wrong way here....

LAUNCH!

To the MOON!

Chris accomplishes his goal......He's a proud board breaker.......

Just walks up and puts his gear on.....

and now he is ready to kill.....

This is how dude warmed up....to each his own......

Practicing for his runway appearance....

This gorgeous plate was under 5 feet of water just two hours before....

Welcome 2010…..

Friday, January 1, 2010 Posted in Cityscapes, San Diego, Skyline, Sunrise, Sunset

I woke up unusually early this morning, thinking about too many things…..wondering what new things will come from this new year. I drove down to the bay in San Diego hoping to catch a few sunrise shots. As I was driving up I started to see the beginning of the most amazing sunrise I had ever seen…..one that can’t be described in words….

Here are a few shots of what I experienced this morning. I also am including tonight’s sunset from the house. I thought it would be a great bookend for such a beautiful day….a new day…..for a new year….
