Some I would like you to know by name because they deserve as much credit as I do.</p> <p>JOFFRE ALVAREZ has been my assistant for almost 20 years and has saved me from disaster more times than I want to remember. GLORIA PINETTE and GERARDO CALDERON are superb Food Stylists. MORRIS LOPES makes props for me with an uncanny ability and is always on schedule. DAVID LANG, DOMINIQUE BORREL, BLANCA NIEVES and INGRID ROMAN are true artists of makeup. RICA GROENNOU can come up with any location needed and has been known to ward off thunderclouds by sheer will. JACLYN ODELL, SOPHIE ELOY and CAROLA GONZALEZ won't give up on finding the right prop or piece of wardrobe no matter where it is or what colors are in vougue. But tops on my list is MAICA, my wife. She paid the bills while I did my best not to lose the scholarships which put me through the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and has put up with my craziness and the weird and erratic schedules I must keep. She is my North Star!</p> <table align="left" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.dxo.com" target="new"><img hspace="10" border="0" alt="" src="http://slides.sitewelder.com/users/FranciscoMarquez/images/FranciscoMarquez110277.jpg" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>For all my fellow gadget freaks; I use SINAR eMotion 75 and eyelike M11 backs mounted on Rollei xAct2, Mamiya RZ's and Contax 645's. In addition, I am using Canon 1Ds Mark III's and a large assortment of lenses for which DxO corrects distortions, aberrations and fringing. Lighting is done with Hensel and Profoto..</p> <p>Computers are Mac Pro's, dualcore G5 Macs, and for location work 17" Power Books. RAW images are developed with DXO. Retouching then is done in Photoshop CS4, and the most magical image editing software, Live Picture.</p> <p>To you and all of yours, my most sincere wishes for Peace, Health, Love, Gold and Time!</p><div> </body> ]]>
