The Spirit of Kendo
The latest issue of Okinawa Living is out with a feature on Kendo, and for the first time I not only shot all the photos, but wrote the feature as well. I'm far from being the next Hemmingway, but I'm still proud of it. Thank you Rie-san for translating, Lisa Kit Ming and Mike Daley for editing my gibberish, and to Hector Nieves for making my photos look great with layout and design.

New Enve Shots and BTS ...
A couple images from another recent shot I did with Enve Modeling. I tried out my new lightweight fabric background I recently purchased from B&H. I think I'm going back to paper though as I wasn't all that pleased with the look of the fabric. It was much easier to carry and setup which is why I bought it but the fabric shows too many wrinkles that have to be Photoshopped. I could wash them out by lighting the background separately but that's not the look I had in mind for the current projects I'm working on so It's looking like I'm going back to paper.
