Work on display

I have work in a couple shows right now.
In The Dirty Show in Detroit:
And at the Lightbox Gallery in Astoria, Oregon:
Naked Kat
February 3rd, 2014
Still some more photos from that trip to Florida and time spent there with some wonderful models. I didn’t only shoot with the striped sunlight coming through the blinds. Here are a few nudes of Kat shot with more “normal” light.
Available light is any light that’s available to use for a photo.
But sometimes all you really need is a window.
And, here we see the real, delightful, funny, charming Kat.
Enough Already!
January 26th, 2014
OK. I got carried away with the striped light. I know it. Sorry about that. It’s been done to death, but it’s still fun. And my truck was being repaired, so we were stuck in the condo and the Florida light is so strong and they put those mini-blinds everywhere. And I’m bad at resisting temptation.
But we did other things while we were there too. Here are a couple completely different things.
When we saw that skywriting Kelsey and I couldn’t resist doing this one:
And I had my trusty old single-element soft focus lens with me, so I stuck it on the Nikon for a few shots like this one of Kat and JoJo:
Striped Kat

Sorry, I’m not done with the striped light photos yet. But the end is near. This time it’s Kat letting the bands of light explore her body.
Kelsey Shows Her Stripes
January 17th, 2014
Yes, I got carried away with the stripey light. But it was fun. The light was powerful. The models were beautiful. And my truck had broken down and was being repaired, so we were stuck in the condo with no way to go anywhere else. And I do think they came out pretty well.
Here are a few more featuring the amazing, wonderful Kelsey.

More Florida Stripey Light
January 14th, 2014
After you’ve photographed all three models together in the bright Florida sun streaming through the mini-blinds…well, you still have to see what you can do with each of the models individually.
Here are Kat and JoJo making those straight lines have curves.
Florida Sun
January 8th, 2014
I think I’ll keep the Florida posts going for a while…maybe it will warm things up in the frozen north.
Trapped in a condo with three beautiful models. Bright, blinding Florida sunlight pouring in through the windows. What to do? Why, play with light and shadow, of course. Lines of light and shadow mixed with the curves of the models. Sure, it’s been done before. What hasn’t? But it was fun and some of the results are a little interesting.
Again, thanks to the lovely Kat, Kelsey and JoJo.
Florida Fun
January 5th, 2014
It’s been way too long since I’ve added a new post here. Between the holidays and some minor health issues, I’ve just had too much other stuff going on. But I’ll try to be better.
Since winter has been being so nasty to those of us in the frozen north, I thought it was a good time to share some photos from a trip last February to warm and sunny Florida. These are all going to be indoor photos, but the Florida sun plays a major role in most of them.
I had the good fortune to meet up with some great models who are also fine friends on this trip. Kelsey Dylan, Kat and JoJo three very different models, but they have in common that they are lovely, delightful ladies. It was a great pleasure to work with them on this trip.
We had planned to do more outdoor work, but the universe conspired against that. Between bright sunny skies that made the light much too harsh for the kind of work I like to do and a mechanical problem with my truck that kept us stranded at the condo where we were staying for a couple days, we just made the best of it and worked in the condo.
We had fun and made some fun photos. I’ll be sharing them with you over the next several posts. Stay warm, friends.
Searching For An Honest Politician
December 8th, 2013
A while back my friend, Matthew Cherry, asked me to model for a photo he wanted to do. I, of course, agreed. It took a while to get everything arranged and to match schedules for all involved, but we finally were able to do the photo last week. The team for this photo included wardrobe stylist Tanya Seeman, makeup artist Norman Bryn, and his assistant Chris Jadewitch Cantuccini.
I knew the resulting photo would be fantastic, because I know Matt and I’m familiar with his work. I wasn’t disappointed, as you can see. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work, and worth it in every way.
Maybe I’ll give up on finding an honest politician and look for something more common and easy to find. Like maybe Yeti.
