First Blog..





Welcome to my Blog... You have probably entered through my new website Latoff.com. With the help of 'Donnie Majic' it we will be adding new images and galleries on a regular basis.

Here is what I'm presently involved in:

I am now an Artist agent. Not to be confused with an attorney.. I promote Artists and their Work. At present I'm representing:

'Heater' Heatley. 'Heater' was an essential part of the conception and making of the movie 'TOP GUN'. He has the difinative library of TOP GUN and Naval Avaition Images. He also authored two best selling books. 'Forged in Steel' and 'The Cutting Edge'.

General 'Boots' Bleese.. Ret. 'Boots' wrote two geat books. 'No Guts No Glory' the Air Combat Manual for Jet Aircraft and 'Check Six.. A fighter Pilot Looks Back'.

Chester Simpson... Another Workd Class Photographer. Chesters' image bank includes Classic 'Rock n Roll' images fron the 70's and Civil War Re-enactment photos.

I will be working hard to promote their work.

Next.. I was the project photographer for the National WWII Memorial in Washington DC. As a spin off I co-authored the Book 'The World War II Memorial: A Greatfull Nation Remembers' and produced the PBS documentary.. 'WWII Memorial.. A Testment To Freedom'. It was great working with the entire WWII Memorial team and the American Battle Monuments Commission under the leadership of General PX Kelley. Now I am in the final stage of releasing
my first solo book... 'Washington By Storm. A Photographers Album'. By final stage I mean I'm searching for a Printer. With luck it will be ready Christmas.

In the mean time, my publishing business is going fine. Sales of Posters/Prints and Postcards are ahead of last year. Fees for image use are very strong and am looking to expand into new markets.

Work in general is very good. At present I have half a dozen projects cooking.

My golf game has been Ify at best however under the guidance of 'Spence' and 'Nitro' we managed to win the First Annual.. Battle of Midway Golf Tournament' at Andrews AFB in September of this year. Yes.. there is a Golf God.

To get acquainted I'll bring you up to speed on a few things:

Flying tops my list. I am rate as a Glider and Motor Glider Pilot. I fly out of Fairfield Pa with The Mid-Atlantic Soaring Association. If its the weekend and the conditions are good that's where you will find me.

Next is working out.. just trying to slow the process as much as possible. The Bike and the Gym are my choices. Thats why God invented the Cell Phone.
