Yes, it’s been far too long since I last updated this blog. There are a lot of reasons. I spent most of February and the beginning of March traveling. I went to the Dirty Show and Nude Nite Orlando, did a little shooting and visiting with old friends and models in Florida, and did some […]

2257 Rant
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
