The Wonderful, Precious, and Disappearing Wildlife of Kenya
I had planned to post a larger travelogue later this summer, but amidst the recent attention surrounding the sport killing of some of our world’s most cherished creatures, as well as the news that we’re now down to 4 northern white rhinos in existence, I’m bumping up the wildlife gallery from our most recent company trip to Kenya. I always say,… Read More »
Exploring Kenya for WMB 3D
Just before the holidays, I had the pleasure of returning to one of my favorite places in the world—Kenya—for issue 2 of WMB 3D.

Certain journeys change you forever. For me, among those journeys are my travels to Kenya. So many of the people I met there possessed a warmth and strength in spirit that I have rarely seen, and I ended up making friends I’m certain I will keep for life. When I set out to create the… Read More »
Khloé Kardashian goes classic glam for Celeb Life
In April 2010, I photographed KhloĂ© Kardashian for Celeb Life magazine. I remember this shoot vividly because it was the last shoot before I left for my monthlong trip to Kenya. KhloĂ©’s always been a treat to work with, because not only does she take amazing shots, but she’s also incredibly funny, generous and… Read More »
