Caribbean




A few weeks back I spent some days on the French side of St. Martine.  Absolutely Paradise. Besides the water being clear blue and soft perfect sand the airport was fascinating.  The arriving planes come in about 50 feet off this beach on the Dutch side of the island.  People just lay on this beach all day while these jumbo jets appear to fall from the sky!

Six String Shooting!






The "Bring People to Philadelphia" campaign moves on!  Here is another set of images from the series, all taken in Valley Forge National Park for the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Office.  My assistants were slack in terms of taking all the "behind the scenes" type shots.  Actually I am being nice, they totally forgot and I was too busy fighting with pesky park rangers with guns as to why we couldn't hang a rope swing from a tree!  After all we had all the correct permits to shoot in the park but when we started putting the swing up I almost had a heart attack when the rangers pulled out their guns!  Well not exactly but their  aggressive attitude implied they would at any moment.  For some reason they were really pissed off!  

We shot two couples in different areas of the park.  Here are some of those images.  Including one of me strumming my six string while the talent were being made up and styled in the RV.   We rented a Vespa as a prop and it was a blast racing it through the park after the shoot!
