Behind the Scenes in the Wilderness
Monday, December 27th, 2021
As I’ve often said, I work with a number of models who are also great photographers. I always encourage them to bring their cameras and do their own photos while we are working. BlueRiverDream is one of those wonderful “modelographers.” I know some use that term as a derogatory, but I see no reason a […]
Man Plans; God Laughs
Monday, December 27th, 2021
Just a little personal update. I died last Thursday. Massive heart attack. Fatal arrhythmia that fortunately didn’t start until a few minutes after I got to the ER. They brought me back with paddles and CPR. So, it looks like I’ll be around a bit more, but posts may slow down as I deal with […]
The Water

It can take quite a bit of effort to hike up to mountain lakes. But their beauty makes it worth the struggle. Anne Brigman did it more that 100 years ago. So it was wonderful to go to those same mountains and hike up to the same mountain lakes that she went to for photographs […]

In addition to being a beautiful and talented model, Carrie Turner is also an excellent photographer. Some people seem to use the made-up word “modelographer” in a derogatory way. I don’t really understand that. I know quite a few models who are also great on the other side of the camera. When a “modelographer” is […]
Some Alternative Photos
Wednesday, December 1st, 2021
Spending a whole day shooting at Proparazzi with Carrie, Tigger and Peggy gave me plenty of time to play around with some alternative forms of photography. These first two were made with a pinhole. And I did a few photos with a cheapie circular fisheye lens from the Lomo people. I like to play with things like these just to […]
