I’ve been sorting through photo shoots from the past several months and ran across some of American Gladiator Jamie Reed aka FURY. Tonight is the premiere of season two of the show on NBC. Here are a couple pics from our shoot last July after NPC USAs.

I met up with IFBB pro bodybuilder, Andy Haman yesterday for a shoot. We met at Dylan and Heather Armbrust’s gym. Dylan showed me the new logo for Armbrust Gym that is in the works and it’s pretty cool. They are doing an awesome job of fixing up the gym and still keeping it one of Denver’s lone hardcore gyms. Andy and I shot for a few hours in their gym and then went to Steve Hess’ gym FORZA to get some shots of him on the HARDKORE gym equipment. Steve is a good dude who is getting ready to compete at the Colorado State Championships. Andy consumed more sushi than humanly possible in between shoots. He needed it after doing a few sets with the 170lb dumbbells. Check them out - pretty sweet looking. Andy is getting ready to make his pro debut at the Europa Super show. Any one who knows him knows he’s a guy who doesn’t take himself too serious and is always cracking jokes. We had a good time and got some great shots.

Keep your eyes peeled for some of these shots to land in the pages of the muscle magazines in the months ahead.

I received an email today from the editors of JPG Magazine informing me that one of my Arnold Classic photos has been selected for the next issue of their magazine. The photo is a line up of figure competitors during the prejudging which I titled, “Booty Lineup”. Below is the photo that will be in the next issue as well as the email from the editors. I’m happy to announce this as it helps get the images of our industry out into other publications in a positive manner.
