Theda Through a Pinhole

April 30th, 2025

Last Sunday, April 27, was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. My old friend and beautiful model, Theda, happened to be visiting my area on that day, so I couldn’t resist the opportunity to recruit her for a few pinhole photos.

These were shot with my Panasonic GX8 and a Pinwide commercially made pinhole that I’ve used for many years.

We tried several different things. Only one can be uploaded to the Pinhole Day website. I think this one below is the one I’ll upload this year. I like the multi-exposure effect which was accomplished with just a single exposure.

Dance In Nature

April 14th, 2025

A few photos of a talented dancer out at one of my favorite outdoor locations.

I’ve done a lot of dance photos over the years and I’ve shot a lot of photos out in nature. I like to combine those two things when I can.

Most of my dance photos are of modern dance. I’m having an urge to do more with ballet.

So I’m looking for experienced ballet dancers who can dance on pointe in locations like this.

A Wonderful Couple of Models

April 3rd, 2025

Over the many years that I’ve been doing photos with figure models I’ve worked with many, many wonderful women. I like to remind them that I couldn’t do my work without them.

Occasionally, actually rarely, a model comes along who becomes much more than a model. Every once in a while a model becomes a friend.

This has only happened a few times. But it’s a wonderful thing when it does. It’s great to have a friend. It’s great to work with a model who is a friend. The work is easier and the results almost always are great.

Even better is when a couple of those model friends are with me together for a shoot.

That’s what happened when BlueRiverDream and Ariea came to Ohio and worked with me at one of my favorite local places.

I can’t begin to thank these amazing ladies enough for all the times they have helped me make my art. They are absolutely the best.

Modelographers

March 30th, 2025

Some of my favorite models are also excellent photographers. I actually don’t really like that “modelographer” word, but I still use it occasionally. I always encourage the models who are also photographers to bring their cameras and do their own shooting when we are working together.

The whole thing of clothes or no clothes really doesn’t get a lot of attention at these shoots. Sometimes a model will pose for photos in the nude and then pick up their camera and go to work photographing the other models.

And, of course, everyone likes to check out the results.

Thanks to all the great crew for this shoot: Herb Ascherman, BlueRiverDream, Kristen, Electra Monroe, Carrie, and Areia.

Give lovely and talented model, BlueRiverDream, some fabric and watch her make art with it…and, of course, take some photos.

And, here is something more real…although abstracted into Black and White. Blue and another of my wonderful, lovely friends, Areia.

Around The Farm

March 16th, 2025

Just some random photos from wandering around my friend’s farm with BlueRiverDream and Nettie.

One of my photos of BlueRiverDream, featuring a wonderful dress she had designed and brought on our shoot on a mountain in California, has been very successful. It was featured in a show in Colorado where it was reproduced as a banner that was displayed in several locations. Then they gave us the banner. Blue brought the banner along for this shoot on the farm. Here are a couple photos we did with it.

Here’s the original photo that was featured on the banner. You’ve seen it here before, of course:
