I woke up somewhere in the middle of Arizona desert after six! months with one tought - whart a hell i'm doing here? :) But anyway it was most crazy part of my entire life and i'm looking forward to meet this guys again somewhere in Peru, where they going now actually :) Good luck True and Giving (translation of they names)

My favorite portrait

I saw this guy only once, but what a character. I wish i can do full time session with him. His face in amazing. Its like all his life at front of you :) But i just got 2 shots somewhere in the middle of Cleveland downtown at night time. Well, by now its my best portraits i have. I even won few competitions with those. Someday we'll met again :)

LA photosessions

2009-12-02T23:16:00.000-08:00

LA is big, im still not get used to it. Specially after i lived on Taho lake for few years. Big difference:) But sometimes i visit this megacity to meet my friends and do some photosessions with local models. Nothing serious yet, but someday may be i'll move close to Santa Barbara. Lot of wealthy people live here and i want to make my photo business growing, its the best bet.

I love pets and i love to shoot them ;) This crazy dog have cool name too - "Tequila". She think she are human, its so funny to watch her conversations with other dogs. :) Looks exactly like human - pet relationships :) We did this photoshoot also at Carmel.

Well im finally moved back to Bay area and starting to look for any photo gigs. Last six month in Sedona, AZ was pretty crazy, but i will remember this time forever. Parties everyday, full moon drumming circles, talented scientists, musicians, healers from all over the world. Amazing time. I left my heart there. Someday i'll be back. Some day.
