I am currently seeking an investor to back a book project called “Castles of Scotland”. When I travelled around Scotland several years ago I made an effort to find a good coffee table book on the castles in that beautiful country and was dismayed to discover that there wasn’t really a book out there of the quality that you would expect. So, I’m seeking some savvy individual (or group) to send me and my wife (also a photographer) over to Scotland for a couple of months in summer (and perhaps another month in winter) to work on this project, the idea being to share the profits in the end. To make it extra appealing as a project, both from a vacation standpoint and as an investment, I would split the time with my other Scotland book project, “Golfing Scotland”. Sounds pretty good huh? Any takers? The proposed book cover below shows a breathtaking view of Eilean Donan Castle built in the mid 13th century.

ORANGE you glad you picked the Cayman Islands
Could there be a better place to get married than The Cayman islands? I don’t think so! It makes no difference if its raining or the sun is blasting through a cloudless blue sky, Cayman can’t be beat for great photo opportunities. This wedding at The Grand Old House just proves it. See! Even on a typical cloudless day, the photos are great!
Cayman Cookout 2010 – Celebrity Chefs
Wow! What a weekend! I was hired by the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism as the official photographer for the 2010 Cayman Cookout! This may be the most exciting (certainly best tasting) event I have ever covered. The first photo is from last night’s Gala Dinner at Blue. As 140 guests enjoyed champagne and waited anxiously for the doors to open, I had about 30 SECONDS to photograph CELEBRITY CHEFS José Andrés, Dean Fearing, Eric Ripert, Anthony Bourdain, Grant Achatz and David Chang. Talk about working under pressure. The staff at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman were all so accommodating and hospitable. Thank you Ritz-Carlton for making ME feel so welcome and a part of the festivities. la prairie’s Silver Rain Spa was a welcome sanctuary during those long 12 hour days. Five Star Service… Like Five Star Service SHOULD be! Thanks again to everyone at The Ritz-Carlton!
Celebrations and Grand Old House! Always a perfect combination in the Cayman Islands!
In all the years I’ve been photographing weddings in the Cayman Islands, two things have remained constant. Celebrations for flawless decor and The Grand Old House as a perfect backdrop for photos and a staff that never fails. Even on a rainy, windy day, everything is perfect.
Family Photos and Engagement Portraits – Cayman Kai, Grand Cayman Island
On Christmas Eve I was at Kai Vista in Cayman Kai shooting family portraits when it came out that Jaime and Bill had gotten engaged that day! So we decided to do some Engagement Photos at sunset the day after Christmas (Boxing Day in the Cayman Islands). Congratulations Jaime and Bill! Hope you had as much fun as I did!
Sunrise at the Gardens of the Kai – Family Portraits
My wife and I were hired to combine a family portrait session with a catalogue shoot for a line of children’s clothing. You couldn’t ask for a better day or for more professional models. These were taken at Sunrise. Tonight we’ll be back at Cayman Kai for more family portraits AND a wedding! Then its Christmas Eve Dinner at The Kaibo!
Family Portraits at the Cayman Castle
If you are looking for a great place to take the whole family, try the Cayman Castle! There is a guest house with another pool so different family groups can have their own space. Note the satellite dish. It even comes with an open wireless network! And the new staircase and deck make a great place for photos! And, yes, it has a beach.
Never Cancel Your Photo Shoot!
For the second straight day it rained. And I don’t mean for a little while. It rained ALL DAY! It rained so hard and so long that I actually cancelled the shoot myself. Then, right at 4:30p, just before our scheduled time, it stopped raining. A quick phone call and the shoot was back on! And for the second straight day, we got some great family portraits on a rainy day in the Cayman Islands!
