Where’s Waldo? During the second song of this show Billie Joe Armstrong dove off the stage and disappeared into the audience. I actually lost him in the crowd. He showed up 3 sections and 20 rows away from the stage. The next thing I know his playing guitar sitting in a girls lap. He returns to the stage dragging a young boy behind him. It was pretty cool, I’m so use to meeting rock stars with gorilla like body guards surrounding them it was nice to see someone so close to their fans.

The 2009 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament took place on March 12-15, 2009 in Tampa, Florida at the St. Pete Times Forum. Mississippi State took the Tournament over Tennessee 64-61. You know as much as I like watching the players the coaches are a great subject to shoot.

The week of Super Bowl 43 in Tampa was insane. For the St. Pete Times Forum it was one of our most successful weeks ever. Three Concerts and a Lightning Game. Celine Dion, The Eagles, Dane Cook and the Lightning vs Philadelphia Flyers. Parties every night and oh yea a little thing called the Super Bowl. Next time I’m leaving town, it was crazy!

Today I brought home my new baby. She’s a 7 week old Rottweiler puppy, pure German Blood line, DNA registered with the AKC. She is beautiful, She is also the demon spawn of Satan himself. Never before have a had a dog that can get into so much trouble so quickly. Turn your eye for even one second and she has destroyed something. Don’t let that cute face fool you, she’s a Monster, A MONSTER I tell you!

Last night I had to put Kobe the wonder dog to sleep. She had contracted cancer and I thought she was doing well. It seems in one day she took a turn for the worse. I held her in my arms as she took her last breath. I had forgotten how painful this was. The next day I learned that it could be even more painful. It seems that at the SAME time I was at the Vet’s putting Kobe to sleep my dear friend Ernest Olds was taking his last breath. Ernest passed away from heart failure, I will miss them both more than I can say….

OK there are days at work and then there are days at work…. Today I was taken captive and forced by a client to spend the day at sea on a 2.5 million dollar, 65′ Marquis Yacht. This boat was sick, you could eat off the floor of the engine room. It was another shoot for Flair Magazine. The model was Orsolya and Kim Ulmer did makeup for me. Kim’s husband is my dive buddy Tony, all I could think about was if we hijack the boat we could be in Key West by sunrise!

Today I did another shoot for the duPont Registry with Vinny Lecavlier. This issue of the Tampa Bay Magazine was all about Tampa celebrities top 10 picks. We met up at Vinny’s favorite restaurant Roy’s. Vinny and I have a little private joke among ourselves. Seems there was this 360 Ferrari spider and a Dinan BMW M3 on the expressway one night. Guess who took their foot out of it first?

I can’t tell you how proud I was to be able to photograph Barack Obama on one of his campaign stops in Florida. OK the Secret Service guys were a little bit scary but it was well worth the time…..

Today’s assignment was to run over to the House of Blues in Orlando and photograph John Humphrey, drummer for the band Seether. John turned out to be a very nice guy.

I’ve been shooting Springsteen for a long, long time now. I always get a laugh when someone at the concert ask me why is the audience booing. For those of you that don’t know when 20,000 people say BRUUUUCE is does sound a lot like boos. Who would dare boo Sprintsteen! Killer show, 3 hours none stop!

This year for the first time the St. Pete Times Forum is hosting the Women’s Final 4 Championship. This was my first time shooting women’s college basketball. I’ve got to tell you I was surprised, I think the women hit harder than the men. Of course Stanford lost to The Tennessee Lady Volunteers and Coach Pat Summitt 48-64.
