Venice Beach (1992) for MuscleMag Intl. Also ended up as the "back cover" for Women's Physique World Magazine" (WPW) and, my all time best selling Poster.
The Mecca - Gold's Gym, Venice CA
Polka Dot Series: 1rst. ever shoot with Jim day after my Pro Win at the 1991 North American Championship. We shot workout series all day in the Mecca, Gold's Gym in Venice, after wrapping up and a little bored of "gym shots" and getting quite late, I changed the outfit and we headed outside. It was close to midnight and we found a great doorway to the building across the street (behind Gold's). Jim just let me play as we shot for another hour. We got many great images that were then featured in MuscleMag Intl. and Muscular Development Magazines.
