To my mother, Cristela Concepcion.
I love all of the moments that you and I spend
together for one very selfish reason: when
I step on a stage and shine as bright as you
say I do, I get to tell the whole world
that I am your son. I love you.
Para mi madre, Cristela Concepcion.
Me encanta todos los momentos que usted
y yo pasamos juntos, por una razón egoista:
cuando yo me presento a cualiquer sitio y hago
éxito, me da el orgullo de decir que soy
hijo suyo. La quiero mucho, mama.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book was written
on the shoulders of so many incredible people. While the list of people that I’d want
to thank specifically would be a book in and of itself, I’m going to try to do the best that I can to keep it as short
as possible.
To my father, Rafael Concepcion, who has since passed on. I’m sure he’s looking down, smiling at what he was
able to create, and I’m grateful to him for raising me with a sense of right and wrong, and giving me the intelligence
to choose.
To my brothers, Victor, Everardo, Jesus, and “baby bro” Tito, for being there when I’ve needed them. A special
thanks goes out to my brother Carlos and his wife Vicky. One conversation with Carlos changed the course of
what I’ve done, and I’m grateful for that. Last, but not least, to my brother Dave: you’ve been a sounding board
and confidant for so long, it is hard to imagine a time when I wasn’t with you.
To my uncle Rene, who is always a trusted advisor in my life. To my sister Daisy Concepcion and Norman Wechsler,
who always believed I would be able to achieve great things. To Jim and Danielle Bontempi, the best inlaws one
could ever ask for. To Merredith Bontempi and Tim Ruymen for being so supportive. Erin and Bill Irvine round out
a great family that I’m thankful for.
I’ve been blessed with great friends. Jennifer Vacca and Lucy Cascio at Zoot Shoot Photographers gave me my
start in a studio. Charlie Enxuto and Steve Zimic taught me so much at Split Image Photo. Annie Gambina of New
Horizons let me wreak havoc in her classrooms. Matt Davis has always been a great cheerleader and sounding
board. I’ve received inspiration and sage advice from Brigitte and Debbie Calisti. I’ve spent days on end laughing
with Kyle Robinson and his wife Teresa. Bruce “Disco” McQuiston and I shared many a tender moment listening
to Enigma. Mike McCarthy will forever be one of the funniest guys I know. Jane Caracciolo has been the person
whom I’d call in the middle of the night to answer the most complex of problems. Her mother Jane Caracciolo,
Sr., will forever be known as my second mother—one whom I love immensely. To Andrea Barrett: I miss you!
Matt Wanner’s a heck of a firefighter, and an even better writer and friend. Then there’s Jeremy Sulzmann and
Mohammed al Mossawi, two of my mates while living in Germany. Here are two friends I can call on to fly around
the world (or share a tube ride) to meet me in London for just one night.
To my Tampa crew: Alan and Nicolle Brusky, Kathy Porupski, Jim Sykes, Erik Valind, David Rogers, Michael
Sheehan, Keith Winn, Rob Herrera, Scott Krebs, Dan Underwood, Tony Gomes, Emily Haskin, and Wendy Weiss,
who gets to pull double duty as my photography buddy and doctor. You couldn’t imagine what an office visit
is like now!
A special thanks goes out to Yolanda, Neil, and the Corteo family for being such great friends to us here in
Tampa (and for having the best pizza around).
To Bonnie Scharf: I’ve known you for over 18 years, and you’re like a sister to me. Fortunately for me, you’ve
been there through thick and thin. Unfortunately for you, you’ve had to put up with me for that long!
To Albert J. Fudger: you are my best friend. I’ve talked to you on a daily basis for over 16 years and there’s not
been a time when I have not been laughing through it. Thank you for letting me write this book on your kitchen
table. An even bigger thanks for being the friend that you are to me and my family. Boop!
This book would not have been possible without the guidance and tutelage of Scott Kelby. I met Scott several
years ago, and still keep a picture of that meeting to this day. While I’m grateful for his experience and skill at
being the best in the business, I’m an even bigger admirer of his grace, candor, goodwill, trust, and unbending
dedication to his friends and his family. He’s an awesome mentor, and he and his wife Kalebra are models for
what true friends and dedicated Christians should be. For that, I am forever grateful.
