Erica Blasberg by Mark Savage Corbis
I was shocked and saddened to read that LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg has died. I happened to photograph her in 2005 for an Orange County golf magazine. I remember her from the photo assignment as a lovely young woman- very friendly and engaging. I also remember we had a good laugh because she had to help me with poses as she was more experienced with being photographed than I was photographing golfers.
Her death is under investigation. Here's a link to a NYT article.

The Dark Horses Theater Group with Kate Noonan on the right. This was taken for the late, great Los Angeles Reader Magazine just around 1995 if I remember correctly. Very cool assignments and I was given total creative freedom. Don’t ask me how I lit it- with a lot of gels obviously and multiple heads. I do remember it was shot on color neg without a polaroid so I had to meter everything and hope for the best. Contrast that with digital today and how easy it is to check your lighting/set-up along the way. I also remember this was the first and last time I have photographed somebody breathing fire.
