I was able to get my hands on this fabulous timepiece. There were a few challenges photographing such a highly reflective surface. Shooting through the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal without the hue shifting proved quite challenging, but a little bit of savvy and hard work payed off!

I thought it was "time" to do some product photography, as most of my work has been comprised mainly of people. I love the intricacies of the movement as viewed through the sapphire caseback.

I was up late one night, not sleepy, not tired; decided to go downtown and create a few images. I started around midnight and wrapped up at about 1:30 a.m.

My Lil’ nephew Evan at 6 ½ months. The kid was born with a full head of hair, I can attest to that being there on day two. Now seven months later the curls are flowing and bouncing with every move.

Fabulous Forties

It’s a rare treat to see someone over forty who can still go in front of a camera and hold their own with the teens and people in their early 20’s. For the sake of full disclosure and the title of “Fabulous Forties” you’re probably wondering, how old is she? Well, Carrie is 46!!
