Libby Riddles - The first Woman to Win the Iditarod Sled Dog Race

Winter 1980 - I had been working as a cook for a geophysical research crew out on the ice of the Beaufort Sea and

I think my schedule was something like 6 weeks on and one week off.  It was a fascinating experience full of

24 hour daylight, single engine airplanes on ski's and 60 degree below zero wind chill's.

I was just getting into photography at that time and was reading a lot about it and experimenting and taking lots of

pictures. I was also writing away for information from Brooks Institute and Art Center College of Design,

hoping eventually to pursue photography as a career ;-0

One of my breaks coinsided with the start of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race that year and it happens that I was

spending my week off with a friend who lived in Wasilla.  So, on the day of the start we decided to go and watch.

I had a new Canon AE-1 35mm camera and was excited to play around with the concept of "panning".

That's where you use a slowish shutter speed and pan or "follow" a moving subject with your camera.

When you get it right, this creates a sharp subject with a movement blur in the background.

The sled dog race was perfect for trying this out! So there I was panning away as the race contestants came swooshing by.

It just so happened that while panning, I got a pretty clear shot of Libby Riddles as she went by.

1980 was her first Iditarod race and in 1985 she was the first woman to win.

Charlize Theron for Guess Handbags - 1994

I had been shooting for Guess Jeans since about 1985. Parties, Fashion Shows, Lookbooks, The Guess Journal
as well as photo projects and catalogs for the various Guess licensee's.
This shoot was originally meant to be a handbags product shoot but Paul Marciano's office called me at the last minute
and asked me to find and shoot with a model as well.
This was great news! I would much rather shoot the handbags with a model!
So I called around to the model agencies I knew and managed to pull in a quick favor.
I also grabbed some of my favorite crew including Lisa Ruckh - Hair & Make-up and then wardrobe stylist Teness who 
has since become an outstanding photographer.
We had no idea what the model looked like. All I knew was that I had told the booker that this was a shoot for Guess
and that we needed someone spectacular and new. New is right! 
I think Charlize was about 18 when I took these photos.
Charlize was perfect! So beautiful and such a natural. Her attitude and posing was spot on for each idea and I could
not stop shooting. Thank you Charlize!
We shot in my old studio in East LA. Mostly natural light or single strobe bare-bulb bounce fill. 35mm and 120 Kodak 
Tri-x film. Canon T-90 and Hasselblad cameras.
