Shaquille O'Neal - Phoenix, Arizona

It was a long drive to Phoenix, Arizona. There wasn't really much along the way except a lot of empty dessert and billboards. Drove up with my assistant, Kellen Henry, and we had a blast. We hung out with a talented and aspiring photographer, Matt Contreras, and met some new friends along the way. All in all, it was a great break needed from the hectic shoot schedules, I've been having. Shaq was awesome to shoot, and you can tell he's a pro at this. 30 secs after he got there, he was in pose and all set to shoot. Shaq's so much bigger in person. I've shot a whole range of athletes and I've never felt to small in my life. But the images came out looking great. The best part is the I got blessed with a signed Shaq Jersey. Rock on!

Dang! Why don't they have this back in Cali?

Eager to get back. Cruisin' 120mph into the Sunlight.
