Into the woods
June 20th, 2008
Life is busy, as usual. Well, more so than usual right now. And I keep getting contacted by models wanting to do shoots. Not a terrible problem to have, to be sure, but I’m having a hard time finding time for everything I need to do and still fit in everything I want to do.
But, anyway, it’s about time for some more nudes to appear here. I know that’s what most of you have been waiting for. So, here you go. That’s RJ who flew in from Iowa last month to get cold and wet and dirty for me. We got up before dawn and drove to Ash Cave to shoot in the very chilly early morning. Dang, I love the light there at dawn. And the waterfall was flowing with more water than I’ve ever seen there before. I was also very pleased to have met RJ and had the opportunity to work with her. She’s a beautiful, talented model with the kind of attitude that I’m always looking for in my models. I plan to shoot more with her as the opportunity presents itself.
On another topic, if you haven’t already picked up a copy of Issue 6 of PhotoIcon magazine, run out right now and get it. The interview of Charis Wilson, last wife of Edward Weston and the model for many of his most famous nudes, was written by a wonderful photographer, Renee Jacobs, (sorry Renee, I can’t get that accent over the middle e) who I’ve had the good fortune to know just a little through some internet places. Charis is 93 years old now. What she has to say about her years with Edward Weston is worth a read by anyone who cares about photography and especially about photography of the nude figure.
Now, back to work getting ready for tomorrow’s party…
