Ok this month it is our guy John Perry featured as our BodySpace Physique of the Month in Iron Man Magazine! I just got my copy today, it is the September 2008 issue and it shoud be on the stands this week too.

John came out to Palm Springs where we did his photo shoot at the Power of Fitness Gym.

I think John had a lot of fun but he did find out something about shooting with me that he wasn’t expecting.

When you do a photo shoot with me in a gym you don’t get to just stand around and look pretty. You really work out!

I had a lot of fun with John, he is a great guy! Be sure to go over to his BodySpace and say Hi! And get his issue of Iron Man Magazine! Maybe he will autograph it for you!

Thanks and keep coming back if you "Wanna See More…?"

Well I have been busy photographing projects that were not bodybuilding and fitness; but at least included some nice bodies like my buddy Cara again.

Cara has graced the cover of Iron Man Magazine, been featured a number of times, she was the face and body on the banners on the front of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the FitExpo a couple of years ago and has quite a few other credits to her name. Oh! Including a figure overall win at Muscle Beach Venice!

It was a lot of fun; 2 days with a fly over by a United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster, bodybuilders, figure girls, guest posing by super heavyweight Brian Yersky, the always amazing 62 year old Bill Grant, a visit from Academy Award winner Angelica Huston and for the first time - amateur boxing at Muscle Beach…

Well I was there, where were you? Yesterday was the grand opening of the Pit at Muscle Beach at world famous Venice Beach California. There are probably some photos out there already from the day but not like mine!

This is Cara Basso, winner of figure competitions at Muscle Beach and you have also seen her in Iron Man Magazine features and on the cover. She came on out to be a part of the day too. Anyway, I will post some photos of the festivities in the next day or so, but I wanted to give you something to look at.

I just realized that I may have done the very last photo shoot at the old "Pit" at Muscle Beach, Venice California. If you hadn’t read the post below, the old equipment has been torn out to make room for the new equipment sponsored by BodyBuilding.com. Well just the week before I had the chance to do another photo shoot with the reigning Ms. Figure America, Ava Cowan, at the old “Pit”.

Ava looked great but as I looked around that day I could really see how badly the "Pit" was looking. The upgrade was really needed. I am looking forward to getting in there and doing a shoot with the new stuff!

I find it interesting that I get a regular number of e-mails asking if I only shoot women. Not the case, especially in this business. This is Jake Sawyer…

Jake is a one of the busiest and successful personal trainers around and actually does do a lot of work as a fitness and healthy lifestyle model. I used him in an advertising shoot for BodyBuilding.com last year. That is Jake in the brown hat with his back to you; yeah the guy with the arm…

So go on over to Jake’s BodySpace and say Hi.

I just finished another day of shooting with Ava Cowan in California on the beach in Marina Del Rey, on the sand in Venice and at the "Pit" at Muscle Beach. I don’t have any of those for you yet, but here is one from a past shoot with Ava in the gym…

I am looking for the next BodySpace star to be in the BodyBuilding.com BodySpace feature in Iron Man Magazine. You have to be in shape and in shape now. For the very next shoot, we will be in Palm Springs California so you probably want to be nearby or willing to travel ASAP.
