The Amazing Jay J. Armes

I just returned from an incredible trip to El Paso, Texas photographing the "World's Most Famous Private Detective" Jay J. Armes.  I am still editing images. More back-story and photos to follow soon. Many thanks to the Armes family for their warm hospitality and glowing personalities.

I originally learned of amazing Jay J. Armes from the following Youtube video:

Police Photoshoot

A couple of shots from today's photoshoot with the Howard County Police Department. It is kind of cool to have a helicopter doing whatever you radio it to do. (insert evil smiley face here). Although, I ATE a lot of gravel from the rotors blowing some serious debris. I found gravel in my ear and hair for days, but thats ok, as long as I got the shot :)

Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas

Stock photo of Red Rock Canyon

The next time you are in or around Las Vegas, you should definitely visit Red Rock Canyon.

http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/

It is a 13 mile road looping around an amazing red canyon that probably closely resembles the surface of Mars. It is about a 20 minute drive from the Vegas strip and perfect for a casual hike

or a convertible cruise.

Nick, Mike, and I (the 8112 Studios team) hit the park to take some stock high-definition footage and to generally mess around.

Back from 2008 NAB show in Vegas (I love the new Red Scarlet camera)

We will have lots of updates soon, after we recover from the jet lag.  Here are a couple of photos from the RED booth, where we got to see the new Red Scarlet camera. 3K lines of resolution for $3k!!! You better believe I am ordering one for the ol' camera bag.

Photoshoot with the new Aston Martin DBS

My photo on the new 3 Doors Down album cover

Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag! I did a photoshoot with my friends 3 Doors Down in Nashville last month for the cover of their new album, which coming out next month. I've heard the album and it is fantastic! I look forward to everyone hearing it.

I have some other big news to announce, but cannot quite yet. Stay tuned for lots of new photos/videos/news in the near future.

Sorry for the lack of updates this week...

A LOT has been going on the past couple of weeks that I cannot talk about quite yet.  I wish I could post about everything, but I cannot quite yet. It is all pretty exciting, though!

Off to Vegas with the 8112 Studios team for the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show this week followed by a weekend in LA.
