College:
High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 1962
How I Started:
I first got started weight training when I was a kid. I had been injured and could not participate in regular "PT" classes. So they put me in this new curriculum called weight lifting. I really was good at it and became very strong.
Why I Love It:
I like the challenge and it works well for me. Also the bodybuilding business is a big part of my professional photography business. I travel the country photographing major bodybuilding competitions, I shoot the advertising and features you see in the magazines and for BodyBuilding.com.
How I Stay Motivated:
Lifting is very fun for me and a good mental release. In the last couple of years I have been traveling so very much and working so very had that it has been difficult to be consistent. In the last 60 days I have gone back to lifting heavy and in the gym daily so we will see what happens.
BB Accomplishments:
Earning the respect of a lot of the younger guys at my gym and hearing things like I hope I can be like you when I get to be your age. Seriously. I don't give up, I worked my way up to 405 lb bench, squats, back rows and deadlifts. And 100 lb dumbell curls. I had put on some good size and was pretty trim with a 32 waist.

Goal (Long):
I am up around 225 and looking to trim back down at least 35 pounds. But more than that I really am working to get back to being more consistent in getting to the gym and working out. I am changing around some of my work schedule and plans just to make sure that happens.

Description: This was a fun photo shoot with Maria Rogers done with her BodySpace Video Profile. You can see our new BodyBuilding.com ad with Maria running in the current November 2007 issue of Oxygen Magazine photographed during this shoot.
Ava Cowan
Played: 502
Description: This is such a great video of Ava Cowan and Iron Man Magazine did a fantastic job with it and her photos from this shoot. I picked her up at the studio at the end of the day, we were shooting the following day at the beach, and I saw the first photos, all I could say was Wow! Then Ava came out from the dressing room, hair still soaked with a towel still drying off. On the way to her hotel she told me the story of actually being in that spray of water all day.

Thank you so much Ian! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I sure miss Palm Springs after leaving LA after 30 years. It was one of my favorite, easy getaways once I got my license. :) Be well.
Thank you so much Ian! That means a lot coming from you. It's been awhile, I hope all is well with family and the biz. Maybe I'll see you out there in LA in January! Take care man.
