STRIKEFORCE in St Louis, Mo
It all started back at Rilion Gracie Academy my Jiu-Jitsu school where I have been studying for over a year.
When I heard from Chris Gracie, Rilion's wife that Rilion's Nephew Roger Gracie was competing @ STRIKEFORCE I was totally stoked to go.
Rilion Gracie and I went together to meet up with Renzo Gracie, Roger Gracie, Rolles GracieIgor Gracie, and friends. What a blast we had...
Also one of my best buddies Mike Colón and I photographed the event for Gracie Magazine. Here are some shots of the night... Goodtimes

Nice work Uncle Ray! It is cool to see Jacare in the dressing room with Roger, after all the EPIC battles they have had! I kept looking for you on TV, and I thought I saw you once :)

Great stuff Ray- It must have been tough to pick the images to share! The first images of the guy in full guard throwing punches is crazy!

Fashion week in NYC with Grace Ormonde wedding style.
For many years now, Mike Colón and I have been photographing fashion week in NYC for Grace Ormonde Wedding Style!!
All I can say is, every time we meet up in NYC with Grace and her girls it's a Blast!!
The first photo is from the dressing room of a very dear and close friend of mine Ines Di Santo. Her dresses are all class!!
Here are just some photo's from the super busy week in NYC shooting for Grace Ormonde...
So so blessed to know them all.
