new painting

I just finished this painting of oranges yesterday. My first foray into the world of citrus. If you go to our alesi art site and blog, you can find the photo it came from, plus some other citrus photos as well.

Allyson's portrait sitting

Allyson will be married at the end of March, so we were right on schedule when we photographed her at Laguna Gloria's Driscoll villa earlier this week. The weather kept us inside, but that did not keep us from getting beautiful photos. Below are just a few of my favorites.

Road Trip West part 2

I have taken all these images so I feel the need to show them. I passed this amazing 57' Chevy in Santa Monica while heading to the beach. I had to hang out the window to get this shot. The driver probably thought I was nuts.

The other photos chronicle the moments of driving and road trips that usually pass us without thought, but say so much. These are the moments that get me. -brian

Bob and Sharon - 50 years!

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from Tammy, who asked me if I would be interested in visiting her parents ranch in Bastrop. Bob and Sharon will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the end of this month and she thought a portrait sitting was just the thing.
Below are just a few of the many wonderful images we captured, such a beautiful place and just the sweetest couple, highschool sweethearts to be exact.

Road Trip West

My friend Scott and I just drove from Austin to L.A. I am out here working on a new body of work. The road is a wonderfully relaxing place for me. Nothing to do but drive, drive, drive. Most of my road trip photos are taken while still in the car trucking down the highway. But when a gorgeous sunset presents itself, you have to pull over and enjoy the moment. Here are two for today. Thanks Scott, you are a perfect travel partner. - brian
