vg_madden11_cover_300Today EA announced that Drew Brees won the cover contest hosted by Doritos. We shot the cover for the second year in a row. Drew was amazing to work with, a true pro on set for our two day shoot which included not only the cover, but the “In Game” intro movie. Special thanks to Uncle Mark for producing, The San Diego Production Center for your great crew, EA for trusting me with this amazing opportunity and my studio staff for busting it out once again. Here are some “Behind the Scenes” videos from the shoot.

Remembering Marty Lederhandler

Sunday, April 18th, 2010
Marty Lederhandler

Marty Lederhandler

It is sad to see another participant from my Behind Photographs Project pass away, but I am very thankful to have shared time with so many of these great photographers. Marty Lederhandler was a legendary AP photographer who had a career which spanned 66 years. I was introduced to Marty by Paul Waldman, founder of The Living American Masters Photographers Project, just over a year ago and was able to photograph him in New York. Paul has documented photographers for about 15 years and we first met when he came to interview and photograph Dean Collins around 1993. At the time, I was Dean’s studio manager. In addition to Paul shooting portraits of photographers, he has also been recording them to create an oral history of the photo industry. Please take time to listen to Marty’s famous pigeon story from D-Day that Paul shared with us and visit his site at www.thelampp.org. Pigeon Story

Kim Komenich Stops Robbery

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

It’s mid April and most of us are scrambling  to get funds in order to pay our taxes. This year, while getting his tax money out of the bank, photographer Kim Komenich, did a bit more than just that…..he stopped a robbery.

It is no surprise. Kim is an amazing person and a incredible photographer. Here is his portrait for my Behind Photographs Project. He is holding a book of this images from The Phillippines when he captured the fall of The Marcos Regime and won The Pulitzer in 1987.
