Team OptiMiStic!

During a shoot for iwalkbecause.org I had the privilege of spending three days with 7 incredible women who walked 50 miles for a great cause--the National Multiple Sclerosis Challenge Walk. The most amazing part is that 5 of these women have MS, but you would never know it by their spirit, attitude and energy! The women welcomed our crew and cameras into their world and shared with us an experience beyond words. In the end, in spite of the blisters and lost toe nails we all left with memories (and friends) we will never forget.

Eye Witness

I've always been amazed at the complexity and beauty of the iris. Even with all of the "eye contact" we make we really don't see all of the beauty including color, pattern and structure of the eye unless we get a little help from some magnification.

Throwin' some dirt.

I hooked up with former Motocross racer "Pistol" Pete Riggs as he got reacquainted with the track after a bad accident and some time off. It doesn't seem he has missed a step.

Stay focused on the target.

Follow your dreams!

It's hard to be a trend setting fashion plate!

Time with Ty

Check out the August issue of Ty Pennington AT HOME to see Joe's shots of Ty during the Mia Hamm Celebrity Soccer Game. The game was played to benefit bone marrow transplant patients and Ty made an outstanding showing both scoring and donating. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Ty as he was quite the athlete and very gracious with his time.
