The Gold Reflector–Another Take!

I’ve written in past articles on the gold reflector and how it was originally made to provide warm, reflected light to illuminate subjects standing in the shade or open shade where the light color temperature is more cool in color.  The warmth from the gold will cancel out the blue cast often found in photos [...]

Arrived in Europe

I arrived in Hamburg, Germany yesterday and am happy to be back in country I lived in for three years during my military service in the Army.  Though I lived in Mainz then Frankfurt, the German landscape is still refreshing and the people are sincere and friendly.  The food is great too!  The seven hour [...]

Mentors and Photoworkshop.com

Mentors, everyone should have one and I’m no different when it comes to my photography as mine is a living legend, author and photographer Robert Farber. Farber, originally discovered by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis when she brought Farber into Doubleday to publish his book “By The Sea,” has mentored me for sometime, both with and [...]

Sleepless in San Antonio

Well I’m literally headed to the shower then the airport. Yes, those that know me often know what I do before a morning flight—not sleep the night before for many reasons.
One reason is to get as many emails that I can answered, seems I’m always behind. The other reason, I have [...]

True Colors

Things I’ve observed since March 1999 when I first launched GarageGlamour.com (now www.glamour1.com) which often amazes me.
First, as a warm-up, I often help people as I believe in spreading the gospel of photography. Second, perhaps I’ve been too nice and now it’s time to rethink my philosophies in life. Third, I’m not perfect, [...]

Glamourcon Chicago

Wow, what an experience, Glamourcon in Chicago rocked! This is the only event sanctioned by Playboy of this type, so I was honored that Bob, the owner of Glamourcon, invited me to do my lectures and a workshop along with other greats, like Mystique Magazine’s Mark Daughn. It was great to finally meet [...]

Houston, now Chicago

I’m still here, just been traveling like a 747 jet aircraft, from location to location. I’m actually home in San Antonio, at least till Wednesday morning when I take off to Chicago so we can work on my new photography DVD, then Glamourcon.
Glamourcon is not new, it’s been around for sometime and [...]

Faith, the Sanity of Risk

What a day today, I’ve spent an hour unpacking my new Hensel lights from Germany in the hot, humid Texas weather, which is anticipating a change with all the tropical storms approaching us. My bones and muscles are still aching from the Virgin Islands trip. The kids screaming, “Daddy,” which makes your heart [...]

The Virgin Islands Number Nine

Wow, what a workshop! We just arrived after finishing our 9th consecutively sold-out International Glamour, Beauty and the Nude Workshop in the Virgin Islands and not only am I exhausted, but I think we wore everyone out too—including the video and sound crew that captured the priceless moments.
Whether it was this month’s Kellie M. [...]

Late Night, Early Morning, Private Shoot Day

As usual I’m traveling like crazy. Came home from Chicago on Wednesday and have been playing catch-up ever since. Often it seems like life is nothing but playing catch-up, I guess this is what they mean about, “You work harder when self-employed.” I know, I’ve worked more hours than I ever have [...]
