Back from Puerto Rico!
What an experience! I just spent 3 full days in the streets of San Juan (including a few hours in Ponce) with my homey uncleray and my new friend Gretchen Del Carmen photographing Ford models in couture gowns for Grace Ormonde. I am so blessed to have this opportunity to shoot for the nations hottest wedding magazine! Grace and her staff have become close friends of mine and have supported me as a photographer for many years now. I owe so much to Grace for trusting me with so many editorial and fashion shoots over the years. Her magazine is one of the largest contributing factors to my success and I am so thankful that I have a place in her magazine again this coming issue!
Random Fact: My dad was born in a town called Arecibo just West of San Juan in Puerto Rico. It was so nice to have my name pronounced properly for once. There are streets in Puerto Rico named Colón which I was unable to find for a photo so if you live in P.R. and know where the street is, would you send me a photo please? :)

Great cake shot! It was also really cool watching the video of you getting the shot.
Mike, It sounds like you guys had a great time! It must have been great spending some time somewhere different shooting beatiful models in beatiful gowns... I'll have to pick up the new issue when it comes out. Have a good time in NYC and hopefully all is going well with the family.
