I have been a HUGE fan of this man's work for a very longtime. I have played at many of the theatres he has designed. He is a Theater Designer and has worked on some of the most recognized theatres in the WORLD. It was an honor to get to spend a few hours with him and get to see him work! He showed me ALL the work he has done in his lifetime, I got to sit with him at his desk where he creates and designs these masterpieces!!!!!! I kept having to stop and just take it all in, when you have followed a person's work, and then get to actually sit and see them work, it is breathtaking. He is an ARTIST in every sense of the world. He knew he wanted to design theatres at the tender age of 4, when his mom took him to see a show. The lights, colors, textures, patterns, dancers, actors, etc all left a lifetime impression on him that lasts till this very day! He has miniature 1/8 scale models of all of his work, the intricate details that he puts into his models is beyond AMAZING!!! I feel truly inspired, blessed, and privileged to be one of the few people that have taken his portrait. He has invited me over to do more and also he let me know I can use his studio to do photoshoots anytime I want to. His studio in itself is a work of art, I will be sharing more pics of his studio and models in the days to come. I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.

P.S. My Hard Drive crashed yesterday, which is a bummer, but all is not lost. I was able to retrieve ALL of my Raw files, however lost ALL of my post processed pics. I only was able to retrieve my web resolution shots. So I have A LOT of work to do, but it is ok. I get to wake up and do what I LOVE to do everyday!
