Last week was a bit crazy, my skull-crushing sinusitis notwithstanding. I shot projects on 6 of 7 days and while I'm certainly not complaining about being busy, the peacefulness of this weekend was highly anticipated.

Pittsburgh-based model Siouxsie Radcliffe came to the studio on Wednesday to help with a personal project and I can honestly say that I don't know why she isn't in NYC already. She's gorgeous, over 6' tall and has a powerful on set presence.

This is just a sample of the imagery we created. My thanks both to Siouxsie and to Rachael Ryan for the stellar makeup application.

Due to repeated demand, Nancy Mosser Casting and I have teamed up again to offer another opportunity for Pittsburgh's acting talent to get quality headshots at reasonable prices. 

Please make your way to my Headshots page for more info.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Amongst all the "Best Of" photo collections that get put together at the end of the year, you can sometimes finds some real jewels. 

For my money, few photographers stood out more than the New York Times' Damon Winter. His coverage of Obama on the campaign trail is commendable not only for it's sheer artistry - but also for standing out from the typical political imagery.

Thanks to APE for bringing this collection to a wider audience.

See the work here.
