The Quest for a studio… and becoming a inspirational mentor…

For almost a decade I have been shooting on location or in borrowed or rented studios. Over the past few months I have been looking at studio spaces in the hopes of acquiring a venue in which I will be able to offer my clients much more and increase my work capability and availability to do projects. Having a studio will allow me to offer much more and have a more secure location do photo shoots, body painting and even have a gallery in which to show and sell my work on a consistent basis.

Today I went to Norman to check out a studio that is available should I want to partner up with the people and tomorrow I have a meeting with a photographer that I have been assisting from time to time on wedding photography.

I have also been working hard on inspirational and motivational articles for So6ix magazine and soon will be offering classes on goal setting, promotions, body art, photography and more..

Distinctly Oklahoma magazine has also expanded my role with their publication and I will be doing photography and creative makeup for an special upcoming article in the August 2010 issue.

Keep your fingers crossed as soon I will bringing much more to the table with my photography, painting, and creative work. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.

Check out the new July issues of Distinctly Oklahoma Magazine and So6ix Magazine for some great articles on all that is good and fun in Oklahoma.

On a last note, I have 4 websites that I am revamping and streamline to help organize my work and also promote fellow artists. Keep your eye out for a completely new website that will be truly inspiring.

Until next time, stay positive and creative…

June update..

This past few months has been very productive and inspiring. Since I moved from Los Angeles and Las Vegas, back in 2002, I have been overweight. In just a few days I will be receiving the P90x program and I will be taking step to get back in shape and also optimize my health through new eating habits, supplements and nutrients. Going to be interesting to see what I look like now with a Beach Body. I was fit and muscular before, but I am sure this bulk I have will transform into something very different and my hope is better.

My creative motivation has become more passionate than ever. I am working for two of the most prestigious magazines in Oklahoma, doing photography and writing. I have started writing inspiration and success articles and I am working on a few books as well. Thank you to Distinctly Oklahoma and So6ix Magazine for having me as part of your teams. It is truly a privilege and an honor.

Working with any publications helps you to reach a broader audience and a community of your peers and people with similar interests. I have met new people and started developing some truly excellent friendships.

I am working on several projects at the moment. My websites are one of my main focuses right now so I can tie them in together and streamline the designs and content.

Here are some of my goals for the remainder of 2010:

1.) Finish new designs for websites, by making them more dynamic and full of resources.
2.) continue working with local publications and inspire others to creative expression, goal setting and personal motivation.
3.) complete current book projects
4.) finish the following photo and art series: gods and goddesses, untitled bodypainting series, floral, maternal, abstract.
5.) by the end of July have completed workbook creations for classes I will be offering in August or September, on business, networking, creativity, inspiration and self-help
6.) every month work on new goals, and completing old ones
7.) Finish the P90x program and start it over again to get peak performance, optimal health and a happier life.
8.) Inspire others and help on some community projects, help get the arts more recognition in Oklahoma. (special projects underway already)
9.) Hold one or two networking parties to introduce creative and business professionals.
10.) more to come…

A New World and what I am doing in it.

I have been in the creative industry most of my life and involved with photography for several year now. Recently, I have chosen to focus on some new types of created images. I am going to be working on images of inspiration, love, compassion, imagination, heart, feeling and exploring emotion and the human condition.

I feel it is important as an artist to embrace things about the world and express ones perceptions and project it in visuals. Sometimes not even interpreting but redefining an image to provoke thought. I want to be an artist that does not necessarily tell others what to think but rather inspires to think and think for themselves or as a community.

If you are a model, musician, talent, actor/actress, business owner, or just a creative soul that wants to inspire others, bring something new to the table and explore what it is to be human, an artist, a muse and a inspiration to others, then I want to work with you. Curious? Let me know your thoughts.
