French PHOTO Contest Success

My good friend, Dave Rudin, is in France at the moment and has located copies of the contest issue of French PHOTO. He has a winner in there too. Dave R was good enough to not only buy a couple copies to bring home to me, but also took snaps of my photo in the […]

They Love Me in France

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024

Once again I’m a winner in the French PHOTO magazine’s annual contest. They say it’s the largest photo contest in the world. There are tens of thousands of entries each year. I enter every year and almost always am one of the winners. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve won, but when I […]

Monday, December 18th, 2023

Cuba was warm and green when I was there recently. On one day I was able to work with models outdoors in a park setting. Beautiful models and a beautiful setting. It was a good day.

Monday, November 20th, 2023

There was a river where Netti and I were shooting, and it was hot that day, so we decided to take advantage of the situation. Hanging out under the bridge… And almost drowning in vegetation.

Further Back

Monday, November 13th, 2023

Well, it’s the same shoot as the last post, but these were shot with my old single-element soft-focus lens and processed for my “Brigman-White” project. The wonderful, beautiful models are again, Rachel and Eden. Rachel returning to the scene of my discovery of “the figure in nature” with her 20 years ago. Eden, the lovely […]

Back to the Beginnings

Wednesday, November 8th, 2023

In May 2002 I made a trip to Maine to photograph nudes on the rocky coast. It turned out to be a eureka moment for me. I discovered that day that what I was supposed to be photographing all these years since I started in the 1960s is the female figure in nature. So that’s […]

A Fine Day

Saturday, October 7th, 2023

From the looks of the memories my computer shows me, October 7 seems to have been a great day for making art over the years. Above and below from 2004. This next one from 2013. And three from 2018. There were, of course, lots more from each of those days, but these are the ones […]
