Days Like This - Jody Frost Big Shave

Jody Frost is fighting colon cancer with chemo & radiation treatments. When her hair started to fall out she decided to be proactive and just shave it all off. She wanted to be surrounded by people who love and support her and to give her comfort and joy. It helped her in the transition from full head of hair to beautiful bald woman.

This slide show on Vimeo is about the testament of the human spirit and facing head on the challenges before us with a life-affirming attitude. Please take a moment to watch, I think it will lift your spirits.

My Friend Jody

My dear friend Jody is in the middle of chemo and radiation therapy, yet stills finds the strength and love to care for others around her. She won't let her illness define her. She will come though this chapter and the world will be a better place because of it.

I posted this photo because this is the truest testament to who I am as a photographer. No matter what the circumstances are, it is possible to make people feel comfortable being themselves and capturing an authentic moment.

This is a photo of Jody comforting her nephew. He has to make some very serious life decisions and he needed some time to think things through. This was just a moment of love and support he needed.

"It's All Related" a new venture from me.

I have been closely involved with the San Francisco flagship Apple store in producing creative speaker events in partnership with the APA photography organization.

I have had a successful career as an advertising photographer. Working on major marketing campaigns for multi-national corporations. The common thread with all my work has been my humanity and ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. The people at Apple have recognized this ability and have asked me to conduct one-on-one interview series for their stadium stores. So instead of a camera to record the event, I will use a microphone.

To learn more about this new venture please visit my new blog "It's All Related" and find out who will be my upcoming guest. I am very excited about this new opportunity to explore the world around us.

Mixing and Matching

I was doing some inspirational research about classic painting techniques, then I recalled some photos I did a while ago for a client. The shots never ran. I decided to play around with them and see what I can come up with running them through my iPhone.

Jody at the SFMOMA

Jody and I did a day at the museum. We went to see the Francisca Woodman exhibit. A very thought provoking exhibition of self portraits by a young woman exploring and questioning her identity. How can one not be moved and inspired by what is hanging on the walls.

Jody Frost as The Black Widow

Jody and I spent an afternoon in Oakland's historic Mountain View cemetery. We were experimenting with some ideas for my 1960's film icon project. It just stopped raining and the sun came shinning through the dark clouds. That always makes for excellent lighting conditions.
