Behind the Scenes

Friday, 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.

Variations on a Place

Saturday, February 23rd, 2019

I did several photos of Areia at this one spot at Starved Rock State Park.  I found the different feel of these interesting, so instead of just picking one, I decided to share the series with you. I guess the one above is the “classic” photo with Areia in a pose. But I really like […]

A Favorite Model in a Favorite Place

Wednesday, February 20th, 2019

Starved Rock State Park, not far from Chicago, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the US, if not the world. I love visiting and shooting there. It’s always a bit of a workout. There are steps, sometimes wood, sometimes carved out of the stone, that lead down into the canyons. As they […]

Back to Starved Rock

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017

These are some photos of a lovely model, Areia, who I’ve worked with a few times. She and I spent a day wandering around Starved Rock State Park near Chicago. Starved Rock is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Add a beautiful, talented model and some nice photos are bound to be […]

It’s Calendar Time Again

Saturday, October 4th, 2014

I’ve published some calendars again for 2015. These calendars are a great way to get copies of some of my best photos at a very low price. And they are nice to have hanging on the wall all year long. Above is a calendar entirely of my favorite model, Brooke Lynne. And this second one […]

Claudine At Starved Rock

Wednesday, October 1st, 2014

Sadly this will be my last post from this amazing shoot at Starved Rock. I got to work a lot with the wonderful, fun Claudine on our last day of shooting there.  She is always a blast to work with and is a very accomplished model. Claudine is pretty much up for whatever it takes […]

A Second Day at Starved Rock

Monday, September 15th, 2014

After our day of shooting with five models at Starved Rock several of the models had to leave to go home. But Kelsey Dylan and Claudine were able to stay for a second day of shooting. So Dave Swanson and I headed back into the canyons at dawn for a second day of shooting with […]

The End of a Great Day

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

I can’t remember a day of shooting that was more fun or more productive than the day when these photos and the ones on the earlier posts from this day were taken. It was an amazing day of shooting with a crew of great models. Kelsey wasn’t the only one to brave the waters to […]
