Behind the Scenes

July 28th, 2023

The last few posts have been from shoots we did when my old friend, Dave Rudin, came for a visit.

I took a few snaps with my cell phone while Dave was working with Carrie and Brandy.

Fine Brandy

July 27th, 2023

A few more photos from this shoot…this time it’s all Brandy. This from the cabin where we were staying before heading out at dawn.

And here’s the lovely Brandy down in one of the canyons.

I did a few variations on this setting. Brandy looks great in all of them. Which do you like best?

And one more of Brandy from the cabin.

Starved Rock

July 26th, 2023

A few photos from a trip to Starved Rock outside Chicago. My lovely models, Areia and Brandy, are more friends than models. They pretty much only model for me and don’t have online portfolios.

But they do a great job. I really love working with friends.

There are more photos coming from this shoot…

Shop Ladies

July 24th, 2023

I’m working on catching up on edits of old shoots. The past year and a has been very challenging for me in my personal life. It’s resulted in not many posts here. I’m going to try to correct that.

To help with that process I’m going to focus primarily on just posting images and not really saying much about them, since writing seems to take a lot more time than just posting photos.

So here you go with some photos of a couple of my favorite models, Carrie and Jenny.

Analog Forever

July 9th, 2023

I’m pleased to announce that one of my photos was selected for the upcoming “Analog Forever” show at Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I shot “Turkey Man” many years ago at a turkey farm near Athens, Ohio. I shot it with my Leica M2 and a 35mm f/2 Canon lens on Tri-X film which I developed in D-76 1:1. Pretty thoroughly analog…

Gallery Shows

July 1st, 2023

I’ve recently had two photos selected for gallery shows. The photo above will be in a show entitled “Light” at the Southeast Center for Photography in Greenville, South Carolina July 7-29.

And below is the photo that the Springfield Museum of Art has chosen for this year’s member show.

That’s my wonderful friend and model Nevaehlleh in the photo above that I call Desert Flower.

Dance in Nature

May 27th, 2023

I’ve been photographing the nude in nature for more than 20 years. I’ve been photographing dance since 1969. I’ve decided it’s time to merge these two subjects and see what happens.

The lovely and talented Michie Bee got me started.

I hope to do a lot more of this style of work over the summer. I will work with Michie more when she is available, but I’m looking for more dancers to be part of this project. Age, gender, ethnicity are not issues. Just looking for folks who can dance and be graceful out in the lovely wilds of nature. Please contact me if you are interested in being included in this project. Nudity is not required.

Pinhole Day 2023

May 2nd, 2023

This year’s Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day photos.

Now I have to pick which one to upload to the pinhole day website.

I’m going to think about it for a few days before I decide.
