Superpowers!
So people that know me know about my ‘theory of specialized superpowers‘ – well last weekend on This American Life, they had a show on Superpowers and the first segment in particular was hilarious. Personally, I’d choose flying over invisibility (I think).
Colette Nelson outside my house
I walked out of my flat last night and found two huge wild postings of Colette Nelson outside. There’s a series of six panels (2 of her, 2 each of 2 other models) for the campaign which has television components as well with Colette and Jitka Harazimova.
It’s kinda weird to see something like that with someone you know – pretty cool!
New faces at the Arnold
It’s always surprising how small a world it is in the fitness and bodybuilding industry. Every year at the Arnold, one of my favorite assignments is to find new faces to set up shoots with.
This year I met Tonya (left) and Dana perusing the expo and shot with them during the weekend. It turns out they know Becca Swanson, Ali Huston and Deb Widdis whom I had shot in Chicago at Jr Nationals a few years ago. Tonya is actually going to be joining the Big Arm Gym and looks like she’s got a good start already.
Check out some more pix from the weekend on the Orange Photography blog: Pulp
Halcyon Duarte
Here’s Halcyon Duarte who has to have one of the coolest names in physique sports. She won the overall at the 2006 Ironman figure championships and was a recent cover model on Muscle and Fitness Hers. If you can’t tell, she’s known for her abs which she’s checking out in this shot.

Craig Titus/Kelly Ryan drama
Wow, there is some serious craziness going on with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. Here’s one of the few shots of the guys that I have from the Southwest Pro Cup. Not a good reflection on the sport for sure. More here: www.freecraigtitus.com/
Jones Soda flex
So I finally decided to send in a photo to Jones Soda and chose a shot of Tina Jo Orban flexing with attitude. It’d be cool if they used it but either way it should get more people to notice women with muscle!
interesting email…
So I just got this today from a guy who used to shoot for us checking in with him on his availability…
Sorry man, I’ve moved back to New York and am working for Men’s Health magazine.
And — odd story here — there’s a place where we go for lunch on Fridays and they have the usual autographed celeb photos on the wall, and one is of this bodybuilder chick up in a tree in a bikini. Right on the photo there’s your name & watermark — totally a Gene X. Hwang photo from Orange.
Small world …

curves
I was down in LA and had a pretty busy weekend for the last show of the year, the Excalibur and one of my shoots was with Danielle Rouleau. I had noticed her at the USAs earlier in the year so it was nice to set something up.
I particularly liked the flow of the edge of the pool here and how it compliments her shape as well.
