**10-26-10 In The Process Of Updating My Profile & Images**


Hello Everyone,
I retired from the U.S. Army at the end of 2007 after over 21 years and I have finally relocated to Las Vegas from Boston, I love this city. I have vacationed and worked in this city 12 times before I relocated here and I can’t get enough of this place. This area of the country is a photographer’s wet dream. Between all of the beautiful people, Red Rock Canyon, different types of terrain, The Nelson Ghost Town, The Colorado River, Mt. Charleston, The Las Vegas Motor Speedway and let’s not forget the Las Vegas Strip.

I started taking photography serious in the last couple of years and it has become a passion of mine. I'm always willing to consider TFCD work, but paid work has priority, unless we already had a shoot lined up. Not only have I met and worked with some great people out here, but I’ve also made some pretty good friends along the way as well.

I can be reached at sandman5050@aol.com or FerraroImages@aol.com. If you have any questions or are interested in working with me, feel free to send me an email and I'll respond as soon as possible. I will also be updating my pictures real soon with some of the work that I have done recently.

~~ ESCORTS~~
Ok, where do I start… If you are one of those people who need to have an escort with you at a shoot, I completely understand. I mean that there are some pretty creepy people out there and I know that everyone just wants to be safe. But I’m completely fed up with jealous boyfriends-husbands that do not want there ladies to model in the first place and do nothing but give them a hard time at the shoot. That not only makes the model uncomfortable, but it makes me uncomfortable as well and then it shows in the work. I’m not only trying to create some beautiful images, but I also like to have a good time at my shoots. I will NEVER ask a model to do anything that she or he does not want to do. So with all that being said, if you would like to bring an escort with you, please make sure that you bring someone that will not interfere with our work, I also recommend that you bring your escort with you to our meet and greet if possible.

~~ MEET & GREET~~
I usually always have a meet and greet at my house with everyone involved in the shoot to go over the locations, wardrobe to be used, length of the shoot, release forms, compensation (if any) and what we all expect out of the shoot.

~~ LOST WORK~~
Hello Everyone, As most of you know by now, or should I say, to all of the wonderful people that I have worked with before August of 2009, I had a SERIOUS problem with my computer. My so called surge protector fried my computer, my 32 inch monitor, my scanner and most importantly, my BACKUP hard drive. So with that being said, I’ve lost ALL of my work from before August of 09. So if I have worked with you, could I please get a copy of our work from the CD’s that I gave you. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

~~PROFESSIONAL COURTESY~~
Remember Models (and this goes for Photographers as well) communication is key for a successful shoot, before, during and after we work together. Lack of communication and no-showing on a shoot is the best way to get a bad reputation and no work. If you are a no-show no-call and do not get back to me in a timely fashion, I will post a negative remark about you on my credits list on all of my sites and not work with you again. Don’t waist my time and I won’t waste yours.

Thank you for taking the time to reed this and checking out my portfolio.
