Fall Colors
June 26th, 2007
Here’s Gaea adding her own unique color to the fall colors of Kentucky. This was shot a few years ago, the first time I worked with Gaea. She now lives near my studio and I’ve been working with her quite a bit lately. And her hair is no longer purple. If I ever get caught up on other stuff and get to do some editing there will be some new, more recent, photos of Gaea here. She’s worth the wait.
Still swamped
June 24th, 2007
I’m still way to busy to be spending much time on blog posts. One photo show is this Thursday. I have to get that ready tomorrow. Today I’m still working on editing my last magazine assignment, plus another order from the magazine that has come in the mean time. Seems like I’m getting further and further behind.
I have several figure shoots from the past few weeks to edit. When I finally get to that there will be some new photos here. And I have another figure shoot coming up this week.
So for now I’ll share this older photo of the lovely Amber. Amber now lives in Florida, but I have some hope that I’ll get to work with her again sometime when I’m down that way. She’s a fine model.

Sorry about all that, but that’s why you aren’t seeing posts here every day.
Down on the farm
June 17th, 2007
Well, actually in Texas it’s called a ranch. But here is another of Vivian Caroline at her ranch in Houston.
Through a screen, lightly
June 13th, 2007
When I was in Houston back in March Niecy introduced me to a friend who was interested in trying figure modeling. Vivian Caroline had never modeled before, let alone nude, but we gave it a try.
I seldom photograph models who have no prior experience, perhaps because I will never try to talk a model into posing nude. I think that is a very personal decision and one that should never be made under any sort of pressure. I would never want a model to go away from a shoot feeling bad because she had done something she wasn’t sure she wanted to do.
But Vivian was sure and was comfortable and relaxed as we looked for good settings around her small farm. We didn’t really have enough time to do a thorough shoot and the location was a bit limiting, but I think we got a few good shots and Vivian got past that first time nude in front of a camera.
This shot was done through some screening that was in partial sun. I liked what the dark screen did to the tones and the thought it made the speckled light look more interesting. And Vivian has a beautiful form to reflect that light.
Maine
June 11th, 2007
Too busy right now to get recent shoots properly edited, so here’s something old but good. This is Rachel on the coast of Maine shot a few years ago.
Wet, Wild and Wonderful…

Another from this week’s shoot in West Virginia, one of my favorite places on the planet.
It’s a busy time for me right now. My daughter graduates from high school this weekend. I won’t be doing much on the computer for a few days.
Almost Heaven…

…West Virginia. Just a little sample of what I’ve been up to in one of the most beautiful places on earth…
Kimberly Again
June 3rd, 2007
Here’s another of Kimberly wading in a stream in the sun-dappled woods northeast of Houston.
I’m on the road. May do some photos today, but most likely we’ll just be traveling. Shooting will start tomorrow. Don’t know if I’ll have time or energy to do any editing of what we are shooting, but I hope to be able to connect to the internet and post more older photos during the week.
