Here are a few images from a recent photo shoot with French martial artist Daniel Locicero – a certified Jeet Kune Do instructor (not to mention talented artist) currently residing in Seattle.  Photographic hint of the day: when you want to highlight somebody’s muscle definition, side lighting is your friend.

Usually I do macro photography in the wild, or in decorative gardens, so shooting vegetable gardens was a change of pace. Here are a few of my favorites, only the first of which actually made it into the magazine…

As mentioned a few posts ago, Tiberio – and his work on the La Figa Project –  stars in an upcoming documentary film about independent business people. The movie is called SHINE, and it is being produced by Dan McComb of Biznik. The director, Ben Medina of Kingmaker Mobile Group was generous enough to produce a two minute preview video of Tiberio’s role in the film.

Without further ado, meet Tiberio…

Here a few of my favorite photos from the Lullaby Moon performance in Seward Park a few weeks ago. Held on the night of the new moon every month, Lullaby Moon is “a year-long invitation to Seattle to explore a world of dream. A celebration of the night sky, the series of performance events brings bedtime whimsy and wonder to parks and other public spaces throughout the city, enlivening and enlightening the dark time of each month.”

The complete set of photos can be seen on my “friends and family” photo sharing site…
