Often we hear the term "second chance at life" being used fairly casually. What followed Paul's cardiac arrest gave us, quite literally, a second chance of a lifetime ... to a large extent due to our electrocardiologist, Dr. D, in whose incredibly skilled hands Mr. Paul's heart literally rested. And now, with an ICD - implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - safely anchored in his upper chest and heart, we have, as the medics *joke,* our built-in own Doc In A Box. (check out this marvel of modern medical technology here: ICD)
When we heard Dr. D was on the lookout for a portrait photographer for a personal project, we were delighted to offer our services. Our goal: To capture this soft-spoken Authentic Man we've come to know and care about, as he cares about us- sincere, intelligent, witty (likes to watch Seinfeld re-runs and offbeat The Office). His two life's passions are healing ... and his guitar. He loves travelling to Italy and basking in Italian culture. A Chicago native, he's learned to take pleasure in year-round outdoor running here in The O.C. to keep fit.
Words cannot describe his level of compassion and dedication we have experienced with this very special person ... nor can mere words express the level of admiration and gratitude we feel for him. In our time of medical and emotional desperation, he was completely and unconditionally present and available for us. We're hoping he will see how meaningful he is to (and always will be) to us ... in the images we've captured.
It is our pleasure and honor to introduce to our readers: Aseem, Our Hero ...
Our clients know we don't believe in subtle ice-breakers - LOL. Stethoscope in hand, he was such a good sport!
The perfect headshot of this handsome guy! (ladies, did we mention he's single? *wink*)
Our fave, cuz it's just so Italia *grin* -
We couldn't resist this rock-style poster image of our Guitar Hero!
