OK, so this story isn’t exactly a story about me meeting Mr. Palmer face-to-face, but this is a story about how Mr. Arnold Palmer and I shared a Hall of Fame moment. It was 2006, and Arnold Palmer was delivering a speech on behalf of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower‘s posthumous induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. I received a phone call from my Photo Editor at Getty Images, and he as
Yeah, yeah I know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but I’m here to tell you why Islamorada, Florida is where the most beautiful sunrises AND sunsets occur anywhere on the East Coast– and are possibly just as good, if not better, than anywhere in the country. Islamorada, Florida is known as the jewel of the Florida Keys. It is a chain of islands connected by bridges like the rest of
Being over the age of 55 and a resident of Florida for over 40 years, I can tell you that I am somewhat of an expert on why and where you should settle down once you’ve reached your retirement years. According to US News and World Report for 2020-21, the State of Florida has 7 of the top 10 cities recommended for retirement in the United States. I know, I know, I am NOT impartial. I grew up in Flo
In 1998, I went on a ride that took me around the country with one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks that ever played the game of professional football. I had the privilege and absolute pleasure of spending a full season following the Denver Broncos’ legendary quarterback, John Elway, while producing and photographing his authorized pictorial biography “Elway.” I was able to be a fly on the wall an
Don’t get it twisted. I’m not saying that if you snore or if your partner snores that you are never having sex again… but if one or both of you snores it’s going to vastly change all of your bedtime habits. These include sleep and sex and may even push you into separate rooms. Separate rooms certainly make it impossible to have sex (unless you prefer to have sex alone and I don’t.) Now, I’m not
Kenny Rogers was no doubt one of the greatest singers and performers of our time. He was a gambler, a cowboy, an actor, a songwriter, and a dedicated student of the music industry. What most people may or may not know about him is that he was also a true gentleman. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for others. The first time I met Kenny Rogers was on a photo assignment when I was a
Next on our National Parks Family Vacation tour was Moab, Utah. We headed towards the ‘Jack Ass Canyon’ area. That name stood out to me when I saw it on a map and there we were! Once we got in the four-wheel ATV vehicles and headed up the side of a sandstone mountain I realized I was in for some extreme activities. Now, when I tell you my wife has gotten the kids and I into some sketchy situation
*This is a four-part article based on my family’s ‘National Parks Family Vacation Tour. If you read last year‘s three-part story on our ‘East Coast roller coasters tour’ you’ll probably enjoy this as it’s a very similar experience traveling with the Serota‘s through several of the most iconic National Parks in the United States. We began our trip in Las Vegas of all places. It made sense because
Legendary sports photographer David Cannon of Sussex, England has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in Photojournalism by the PGA of America. Cannon is the second photographer in history to receive such an award; the other was one of Cannon‘s friends, Leonard Kamsler, who was the inaugural recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in Photojournalism in 2020. I’ve known DC (as he’s know
Well, there’s been a tremendous amount of movement amongst NFL players at every position this off-season, but the quarterback position has dominated the news and for good reason. The top story has been about all-time G.O.A.T. Tom Brady un-retiring (I called that the minute he announced it) after 40 days And 40 nights of retirement, only to Return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23 NFL season.
In the world of collectible-grade, photographic NFTs, the main thing you want to look at is the rarity and uniqueness of the image. You can always like an image simply because you like it, but you can also find something more valuable as a collectible based on the who, what, when, where and why the image was made. This will always dictate the value of any kind of artwork to a collector. Being able
First thing you need to know is that no conversation is off limits if she is open to talking to you. You have to be involved in her life and understand that you are instrumental in helping her learn how to be strong, creative, proud and most of all confident in herself. At first I thought being my daughter’s soccer coach, teaching her photography and talking to her her about who she likes and does
One of the things I hadn’t brought up until now is that at Cedar Point and Kennywood my 11-year-old daughter largely stood to the sidelines holding our backpacks because she was too afraid to get on the big rides. So, slowly through the course of the first couple of days of the trip I eased her into the idea that she would regret not overcoming her fear. I told her how hard it was to watch her sta
It all began when a good buddy of mine recommended me for lecturing in an Enrichment Program aboard a luxury cruise ship throughout the Bahamas for 7 days. After a nanosecond of thought, I said yes! But then I tried to figure out how to sort it out with my wife. I knew that she would have a difficult, if not impossible time dropping everything at work and jumping on a luxury cruise ship with only
Who doesn’t love Awesome Roller Coasters? Me? This summer I wanted very much to do a tour of national parks across this great country, but I was outvoted by my kids and my wife in favor of going on a tour of amusement parks in the Northeast with awesome roller coasters. Let me begin by saying that I am a very adventurous person and I always have been, but over the past dozen years or so I have dev
Tom Brady delivers championships everywhere he goes. From the time he was born and grew up in San Francisco to the time he spent in Michigan playing in college and then of course in Massachusetts and onto Tampa. Let’s go back in time and count all the championships that were won in every sport from the time Tom Brady was born through today. We are only considering cities that he spent time living
This college football season is upon us and we’re about to embark in another battle for who’s going to be ranked in the top 10 to start the season and who are the favorites to win this year’s National Championship. College football fans would be remiss if they didn’t take pause and reflect on the man that was Bobby Bowden, head football coach of the Florida State Seminoles for 33 seasons. Bobby B
In Part 1 of my series on NFTs and crypto, I explained the basics. In Part 2, let’s dig deeper into this NFT universe so that you can start playing in it! First let’s define the term “Block Chain” because you’re going to see and hear a lot about it. Simply put, block chain is a digital database that records all digital transactions in chronological order. Once recorded, it cannot be deleted or cha
Investing in NFTs is a worldwide phenomenon guaranteed to grow. In Part 1 and 2 of this series, I explained cryptocurrencies and NFTs, or Non Fungible Tokens. So now, let’s talk turkey and discuss actually investing in NFTs. And again, let’s use photographic NFTs as an example. The NFT market is very gamified. So let’s say, as a seller you own a photograph, or as a buyer you want to “own” that pho
Cryptocurrencies and NFTs are daily stories in the news and social media. People are trading, buying and selling, and making tons of money. A meme of a flying cat with a trailing rainbow sold for over $500,000 in cryptocurrency earlier this year! How, why, and WTF are they? They’re a mystery to most people, so let me break it down. Cryptocurrency in the simplest term is a digital form of currency.
