Pro Football Hall of Fame

Forever enshrined in NFL history. A Ben Liebenberg original photograph now hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The image was taken at Super Bowl XLII as MVP Eli Manning holds up the Super Bowl Trophy after beating the New England Patriots in exciting fashion.

LT loves Campbells Chunky Soup

UUMMMM UMMM GOOOOD!!!
LT on the set of the new Campbell's Soup Commercial

San Diego Chargers’ running back, LaDainian Tomlinson, is known as one of the NFL’s hardest workers and a dominant force among offensive players on the field. Off the field, this former league MVP is known for his generosity and humble demeanor – all qualities that Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) will capture in the newest installment of the famed Chunky soup advertising campaign, which has begun production in Los Angeles this week.
Tomlinson is taking his gridiron greatness and “good guy” personality in front of the camera, as he stars in the Chunky soup ads for the second consecutive year. This season marks Chunky soup’s 11th as an NFL sponsor and the first time in the brand’s history that the advertising campaign will be solely focused on one marquee player, without his mom by his side. Campbell’s Chunky soup will feature Tomlinson in the 2008 advertising campaign, appropriately titled, “Working Day.”
“Working Day,” which focuses on a day in the life of an NFL star … and every hardworking individual, is comprised of two :30 and three :15 broadcast spots, as well as print and online advertising. Each spot features the daily trials and tribulations of Tomlinson’s “workday”, with a voiceover that allows the hardworking viewer to see the many similarities they find themselves tackling throughout the workday. Charger’s head coach, Norv Turner, will also appear in one spot, “Autograph,” … in a boss’ role.

Great cover shot of a Comedic Genius

Steve Carell is a comedic genius and the star of one of my favorite TV shows THE OFFICE. That is why when I saw the cover of WIRED magazine on the newsstand at LAX, while on my way to New York City for the NFL Draft I knew I had to buy and read the article. Come to find out there is an interesting story about the photographer Brent Humphreys and his thought process for the shoot. Read the story here

LAST FLIGHT OUT OF MEMPHIS

LSU Pro Day - Day 1
11:30pm - Frank Tadych and myself catch a cab from the office to LAX. Oh and the cabby had some nice rims on the car. He knew a ton of shortcuts and got us there way early. Just in time to wait in a huge security line.
1:00pm - We caught our flight to Memphis. This is where the fun begins.

6:45pm - We made it to our gate just in time for Northworst to announce that the gate has been changed from A1 to A9 so now we have to make the long walk. We made it to gate A9 and sat for awhile. Another announcement comes. They are delaying the flight from 7:45 to 8:00. That’s not to bad. We can deal with that. Yet another announcement is made. The flight is being delayed until 9:25 now oh and yes another gate change. So now since we have an hour and half to kill we head out to get some drinks only to find that everyplace in the airport closed 10 minutes earlier. We did manage to find someone that would sell us a few sodas.

8:30pm - Frank strikes up a conversation with the Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers coach Eric Price and I kill some time by watching Rounders.
9:25pm We catch the last flight out of Memphis en route to Baton Rouge.

LSU Pro Day - Day 2
10:45pm - We get to the LSU practice facility.


3:00pm - After having to change to a later flight we head for the airport and embark on on a series of flights back to Los Angeles.
12:00am - Arrive home....

ENGLAND 2008

Sorry it has taken me so long to update this. We have been traveling all over and seeing so much the last few days.
We have seen the Roman Baths and the Abby in Bath, NANDOS (best chicken ever) Oxford University, lots of the English Country side, Stonehenge and that was just in the first 2 days.
We made it back to London on Saturday night just in time to meet up with the infamous Andrew Liebman. We found him on the side of the road in Hammersmith because the Tube stopped running all the way to Richmond where we are staying. You never know what Andrew is going to do next.
Sunday we had to return the rental car to Heathrow airport. So after dropping the car off it took us about 4 hours, 3 busses, 1 train and about 20lbs just to get into central london. SHIT it was a mess but we finally made it to the British Museum, saw covent garden and a few of the other areas in between. On the way back to Richmond we stopped in Kensington for some INDIAN food. Man that was some good stuff.

Sunday 7AM

So 615am Sunday morning Michael (my assistaint) and I made the trek out to Santa Monica to shoot some photos with Carly. We got there right around 7am. It was very early and foggy. The fog broke just as we started shooting and the light was great. Here are a few shots.



First photo was shot with a remote camera attached to the back of another bike and fired with a pocket wizard.
