Adventures in the Al Capone Suite at The Biltmore
Okay, so it was actually only one adventure and probably “adventure” isn’t even the right word to use, but to say I was excited about shooting in the Al Capone Suite at The Biltmore — where a scene from one of my old school favorite movies, Bad Boys, was shot — is definitely an understatement. Thanks to Andrew Bryant Photography, I was sent to Miami to shoot with and learn from some awesome photographers, including Ray Santana, Becker, Kenny Kim, Kenny Nakai and Lawrence Chan (SEO guru, Tofurious). It was great to see how these guys and the rest of the photographers worked and shot and feel like we all learned a lot from each other. Besides the fact that we were in one of the most beautiful cities, at one of the most famous hotels in the world, with gorgeous models, what made it extra special was the good people that were there. Anytime I can return to Miami in the fall or winter is a win for me, but coupled it with such a wonderful experience made my trip perfect.
Miami at UNC Slideshow
Wow! So much has gone since my last post that I really have not had any time to blog about it! Yes I really have been that busy, but the past 10 days or so were great, including everything from a business trip to Las Vegas to child portrait sessions and birthday parties to getting my own portrait done! More is coming real soon, but until then, check out this video from UM at UNC that shows a new way to show of my photos.

University of Miami at Duke Men's Basketball
Once again, the University of Miami Hurricanes came to the state of North Carolina. Once again, I was asked to photograph the game between Miami and a North Carolina ACC foe. Once again, I was able to photography a great game and once again, Miami lost in overtime! At least I did manage to come away with some decent photographs.
University of Miami at NCSU Mens Basketball
Again I shot for the University of Miami Sports Information Department, and again Miami lost to another North Carolina school. This time it was an overtime loss to the Wolfpack of North Carolina State University. Miami started out the first half without much effort and was down by double digits at halftime. The Hurricanes started out the second half strong and made it a game, mainly because everytime Miami’s Dwayne Collins touched the ball he seemed to be able to dunk it! Really, it was a little ridiculous. Equally as ridiculous was NCSU shooting 54% from the three point line and connecting on 14 threes! At the end of regulation, UM had the last shot, but couldn’t get the shot to fall. In the end, a fade away three pointer with about 3 seconds left in OT, put NCSU up for good giving Miami their second strait overtime loss!
