A tiny sign on a tiny lab saying CUSTOM BLACK AND WHITE PRINTING caught my eye and I walked in and met Ajay for the first time. 10 years later Argentum Photo has grown into one of the premier labs in Los Angeles - and we still even like each other! Don't tell him I sent you though - he'll assume you have money and charge you double.

My mother was a child living in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked on that fateful December morning. She is now a professional speaker and has shared her incredible story with audiences around the world. She is the author of two children's books that you must check out.

My Dad is an incredible photographer and designed, edited and published the books which have won many awards.

All I can say is my Mom's prettier than your Mom and my Dad can beat up your Dad.

This is my brother Ryan, who unfortunately, is following in his big brother's footsteps and has caught a severe case of what I call the "shutter bug."

Looks like the boy's got game and will put me out of business by the end of the year.

If you're in the Phoenix area you have to shoot with this kid. He rocks. However, if you live anywhere else - you still need to shoot with me as I am very sensitive.

Everybody check out my little bro's cd's. He definitely has a gift - The voice of an Angel and the abs of Adonis.

His music is described as Rick James meets Korn. No, I'm just kidding - not Rick James....ahh... that time guy in Purple Rain..you know..the bird dude - Morris Day..yeah thats it. It's like Morris Day (without The Time) meets Marilyn Manson.

Anyway, definitely check him out - you will not be disappointed!

This is my brother Andy's website. (I know - 4 boys, our mother has a lifetime get out of jail free card).

Andy is my producing partner and he and I are gearing up to give the Coen brothers a run for their money. We can already take them on the basketball court...now we just have to work on the box office.

Andy is the best looking brother so I am not going say much more about him.

I just came across this and it really touched me. Sometimes in this crazy business it's easy to lose sight of what is really important. No matter what "God" is to you - I hope you get the spirit of the message that we are never alone.

Even if you just buy her book - your cold read will never be the same. I can't say enough about her. If you don't book jobs after studying with her - you should go back into plumbing and...ah...well...just plumb.
