Thanks to J.M. Manion, Tamer and Terrick El-Guindy, and Dan Solomon for letting me be a part of the action and their friendship over the years.  Aside from the last 2 Olympias in Florida, which both times I got really sick (Covid related right before), I have been fortunately to document and take pics since 1997 at over 20+ Olympias.

Hey Ron is your main career, outside of Getbig, based in the bodybuilding/fitness lifestyle or photography?

I’m obviously not asking for specific’s, just curious.

The weight loss looks good, btw.

Photography is my passion. Been shooting and enjoying taking pics for 30+ years.  Getbig has been a place where I have met hundreds of people at various events, I don't make money from it.  Every show, I meet new friends, and old friends, and new competitors and people in the industry. Which is what I work for.  A place called DNA Sports Nutrition Distribution, which I have been here, 25+ years, based in Los Angeles, which distributes 80+ brands, including Optimum Nurtition, Red Con, Quest, Gaspari, Labrada, Ryse, BSN, Isopure and so many more. These events, I meet our vendors, I meet your customers, and I have a myriad of meetings.

Honestly, pictures are not about me, they are about the person there. I try to be out of the limelight and behidn the scenes when I can. I am NOT a bodybuilder, never have been, never will, but I have seen the sport grow over 25+ years or more.  So do I know Phil Heath, Lee Labrada, Flex Wheeler, Chris Cormier, Jay Cutler, Aaron Singerman and so many more, I actually do and seen them grow.

Hope that helps - one day I will do a thread on just some of the experiences and the past.

I thought Dectric was trying to hide it somewhat and tone it down now that he is circulating in the bigger leagues, but in the photo above it looks like he actually loaded up further.
