Minus-8 Layer24 Gold Black Front
Minus-8 Watches is a collaboration of giants. Astro Studios, the design genius behind the Nike Fuel Band, Xbox 360+ and Sol Republic Headphones, teamed up with manufacturing giant PCH international to produce this elegant and beautiful time piece. And I got to photography it!
Here is a little time-lapse retouching video, in case you want to peek behind the curtains.

Team Aldea!
My Photos on the homepage of Evernote. It was great fun working with local product designer Eric Pfeiffer (http://www.pfeifferlab.com/ ) and the crew for Evernote. Not to mention the amazing and incredibly smart Mythbuster stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman! The shoots went very smooth and the results look awesome!
Since it’s been so nice out recently here in the Bay Area, I’ve been out and about with the kids a lot! And, naturally, a camera. These few photos come from experimenting with double exposures, an interesting and cute way to capture warm summer memories with my children.
Whoohoo!!! My recent Ad shoot with Szanto Watches is featured on FoundFolio’s Blog!!! Check it out!

Cleaning out the garage the other day, I found a bunch of old life drawings that I hadn’t documented before. These come from the days where I focused my creative energy towards fine art, and creating my vision of these subjects. I’m really excited to have uncovered these, it’s a treat to see where I’ve come from artistically! Check out more below. (ps, they’re for sale!)
For the fish story I shot awhile back, I was inspired to be creative with the portfolio piece. I got the idea to match the presentation of the book with the subject matter. I used the actual waxed cardboard box the fish came in (I dug out of the dumpster behind Tokyo Fish Market) as the cover of the book , sinew as the binding cord and brown paper as wrapping. It was fun to learn Japanese stitch bookbinding for this project. Im quite pleased with the results. To see the Fish Tale images, click here.
The art director of Stanford Medicine Magazine, David Armario had seen a series of abstract photos I created a while back and asked to use an image for the front cover. This is the image they chose. I love the look and design of this magazine. And I’m happy to be a part of it.
The basic concept was derived from a video I saw of a chemistry experiment involving detergent, milk and food coloring. I did my own experiment and the results were quite interesting. It’s amazing how something so simple can create such striking imagery.
I’m very excited to announce and show off the latest About Time Magazine cover story! Alongside statements from Szanto Watches founder Barry Cohen, the story goes in depth about Szanto Watches and details the thought process of designing affordable, vintage-styled wristwatches. The watches really knock it out of the park with the classic, timeless vintage styling. They look great on the page, and they’ll look even better on your wrist!
Shooting at the Oakland Aviation museum was a real treat. It gave us the opportunity to learn about the history of aviation and how it’s progressed over the years.The staff was very accommodating and gave us access to some of the vintage planes on display. With the help of my crew: Shannon Warf (photo assistant), Sam Scott (photo assistant) and Heather Sansky (prop stylist) we were able to create an interesting story and an awesome experience! This shoot was a lot of fun and I’m very happy with the end results.
