USAA Advertisement

When I was a teenager my brothers and I would visit my father in Boerne, a little German town just northwest of San Antonio.  We would travel into nearby San Antonio to visit friends, shop and dine, and explore.  I remember driving by the gigantic USAA complex and wondering "what the heck goes on in this place?" I never thought as a child that I would be photographing advertisements for the company as an adult. Thanks for hiring me to photograph your ad! USAA started out in 1924 as the United States Army Automobile Association by a group of U.S. Army officers to self-insure each other because they were unable to get auto insurance due to the notion that soldiers were a high-risk group. Today, United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is one of the top ten automobile insurance providers in the country. USAA now employs more than 21,500 employees throughout the United States, and was ranked 45th on Fortune Magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."

So, props to USAA for providing a great service to our military and their families!  And a special thanks to Phil Foster and Tatiana Luneva-Evenchik for deciding to work with me.  It was a pleasure to work with you both.

Here are some featured images from our shoot with South Texas College of Law.  Our liaisons, Sue Cox, David Powell and Cheryl Mc Entire were a pleasure to work with.  They gave me excellent direction and the proof is the pudding! I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Nobel Peace Prize Kofi Annan

I recently had the privilege of meeting 2001 Nobel Peace Prize-winner Kofi Annan, Security General for the United Nations, with humble beginnings in Africa's Gold Coast.  I was honored to be given his attention while taking his portrait, and noted his kind, gentle behavior.  For more information about Annan visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofi_Annan.  Here is a web link to his 2001 Nobel Lecture in Oslo. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2001/annan-lecture.html
