One A Day - On This Day in 2002

Orange County John Wayne Airport

On this day David Duchovny took another trip. This American Way magazine was taken when Steve and I went to Spain. We were very bored on that long flight so we did funny things with the magazine (like hiding him halfway down the pocket in the back of the seat so just his eyes were peaking out). I secretly stored him away and brought him out on my next flight with Steve. It was pretty funny. We had a good laugh and he traveled with me on every trip I made after that. I would always take a picture of him. I think he is in storage now.

One A Day - On This Day in 2008

San Francisco CA The Independent


On this day we saw Beck in a tiny club. It was an awesome show. One of my friends at work tipped me off that he would be playing there and I hit the website hard when the tickets went on sale. I was lucky enough to get a pair.

One A Day - On This Day in 2005

Irvine CA Point of View Inc.

On this day in 2005 we brought Paul Darden in for a voice over session. Paul is on the right. He is a somewhat famous poker player. John and Paul were discussing something on the couch in my office as I listened on from my desk and also took this photo.

One A Day - On This Day in 2003

Las Vegas NV Classic Gaming Expo


On this day in 2003 Donna and I were at the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. It is one of my favorite conventions. There are many things to buy, many games to play and lots of famous people to see (well famous to me). In this photo you can see a bearded man. His name is Billy Mitchell and he is the best Pac-Man player in the world and once of the best Donkey Kong players in the world. Remember his perfect beard because there will be another post featuring him this month but it will be from the future (at least compared to when this was taken).

One A Day - On This Day in 2003

Los Angles CA Salami Sound Studios

On this day in 2003 I took my picture with Bender (John DiMaggio). He did a few voices for our Spawn game. It was fun to meet him and talk to him. He was pretty much exactly what you would expect from the voice of Bender.

One A Day - On This Day in 2005

Los Angeles CA E3

On this day in 2005 I was at E3 taking my photo with the late great Evel Knievel. He was there promoting a cell phone game but I doubt he knew where he was or what a cell phone is. He was just instinctively going through the motions. I hope when I get to be that age I can just sit on a couch.

One A Day - On This Day in 2005

Las Vegas NV The Mirage WPT Final Table

On this day in 2005 I was in Vegas for work and took some time to walk by this Final Table. It may have been the PPT Table. I can't remember but if you look, there are quite a few famous players at this table. I was playing in the poker room and not in the tournament.

One A Day - On This Day in 2005

Los Angeles CA Amir Vahedi's

On this day in 2005 I was grabbing up the last few reference shots for our poker game. I was fortunate enough to go to Amir Vadedi's house and meeting with him. He was a very nice man and a solid poker player. Sadly he passed away in January of this year.

One A Day - On This Day in 2006

Los Angeles CA Keith Arem Studios

On this day we did voice recording for our poker video game. Erin Ness was one of the pros so we had to get her voice. She was a lot of fun to work with. After the session we took the obligatory "point at the screen" press photos.

One A Day - On This Day in 2005

Las Vegas CA

On this day in 2005 we were meeting with Howard Lederer for the first time regarding our first poker game. We took reference shots, talked about the game we were going to make, discussed hands and I got a few cards signed. Over the course of two poker games, I had many playing cards autographed by famous poker players. It was a fun 2 years.

One A Day - On This Day in 2006

Irvine CA Some Photography Studio


On this day in 2006 we did a photo shoot for our poker game. We needed reference shots of Annie Duke and we didn't have a lighting set up so we outsourced. She was very nice and not shy at all.
