Why Am I Here?
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
Now on our third day stranded in Alliance. Why would anyone ever come to Alliance, you might ask? Well, there’s only one reason…Carhenge. I first visited Carhenge shortly after it was created in 1987. I was on a motorcycle trip with my best friend, Ken. We stopped and spent the night in a tent right […]
Oh Deer!
Sunday, September 25th, 2011
I’m on my trip out west. Things have not been going all that well. I’ve been reminded of a couple old sayings that I often heard when I worked for the Air Force: “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.” and “Flexibility is the key to air power.” I started out Thursday by driving […]
More Muscles
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
Here are a couple more photos from my shoot with Artistic Physique and Fitness 101. These are a couple of amazing body builders who also happen to be very nice people and excellent models. And not the least bit shy, which is always an advantage when doing nudes. This shoot was a lot of fun […]
Triangles
Sunday, September 18th, 2011
Life’s pretty busy, as usual. I’m getting ready to leave on this year’s major photo trip. If all goes well you’ll see photos and updates along the way between now and the middle of October. Stand by for details. But meanwhile, I’m way behind on posting the things I’ve been shooting. A lot of that […]
As Light As Air
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
That’s what you think must be the case when you see dancers like these in action. I took this photo in New York City several years ago. I was studying dance photography with Lois Greenfield at her studio there. She brought in some of the best dancers in the world for us to work with. […]
Ten Years
Sunday, September 11th, 2011
Yes, it’s been ten years since everything changed. But you know that because there has been way too much about it in the “news.” I don’t want to add to that cacophony. But it does warrant a mention. I was working for the Air Force on that day, at a major command headquarters. I spent […]
Instant Julie and a PhotoShop Rant
Friday, September 9th, 2011
Like pretty much everyone else who has been doing photography for any amount of time, I’ve worked from time to time with Polaroid instant materials. “Back in the day” I used Polaroids to check lighting and exposure when working with strobe lighting in the studio. The digital equipment we use these days has completely eliminated […]
Theda in the Basement
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Here’s another of Theda in the sub-basement. For some reason she didn’t want to lay down back in there. I can never figure out why my models are sometimes hesitant to do the things I ask them to do. But we got some good shots anyway. Actually, Theda is always great to work with and a […]
Primordial Cam
Friday, September 2nd, 2011
Here’s the beautiful Cam Damage out in the beautiful forest where we went hiking and shooting last month. It was a perfect setting for the work I do. Cam was a great addition to the landscape too. I love the almost pre-historic look of this forest and think that Cam fits right in as a […]
