I sometimes ask models to do completely unreasonable things. I try to always make sure they know that they can say no. But sometimes, more often than any reasonable person might expect, they say yes to something no reasonable person would do. That’s what happened last December when I asked Pippy Couture to pose for […]
Looking at Old Stuff
Sunday, December 7th, 2014
In case you are interested, I’m on Ello and I’ve been posting a lot of my old stuff on there. It will be my social media site for my photo work. Recently I’ve been posting my “docunude” series that I shot about 10 years ago. It’s environmental nude portraits of most of the models I […]

A few more photos of Athena, this time taken with a “real” camera, my D7000 and my 50mm f/1.4 lens. I like that lens for portraits. These were shot stopped down one stop to f/2. It’s nice and sharp there, with a shallow depth of focus. The originals of these, of course, are in color, […]
Instant Athena
Wednesday, November 26th, 2014
I’ve long enjoyed the 3000 speed instant film…both the Polaroid stuff and the Fuji copy. I was working on a project using that film when Fuji announced it was discontinuing it. That was a sad day. I have a stash of it and I’m continuing to work with it until it is gone forever. The […]
Fuzzy Portraits
Saturday, November 22nd, 2014
Along with shooting Lizzie AnneMarie with my instant cameras I also put my old Sima 100mm soft-focus single-element lens on the Nikon D7000 and did a few fuzzy photos with it. I’ve had this lens for something like 40 years. It was a forerunner of all the current fuzzy lenses out there and I like the […]
Instant Art

Almost a year ago a new model came to the studio to do a shoot. It was a pleasure to meet and work with Lizzie AnneMarie. I’ve been working on a project using instant cameras for a while now and I decided to do some instant photos of Lizzie. These first two are obviously shot with […]
Just Hangin’ Out

I make several trips to Chicago every year. It’s not that far away and I have a lot of reasons to visit. My gallery is there. I also have quite a few friends in the Chicago area. And there are some great models there. Of course, the models and the friends are often the same people. […]
In The Tub

Claudine has an amazing apartment and in it is the best bathroom I’ve ever seen. It just requires all sorts of fooling around. Once you get started doing photos like these there’s no telling what you will end up doing. And, of course, there’s that fisheye lens too. And, as the day passes the light […]
Turning the Fisheye on Claudine
Friday, October 31st, 2014
Still running about a year behind on posting here. About a year ago I was up in Chicago and got the chance to work with the amazing Claudine at her beautiful apartment overlooking the lake. As you can see, it’s a pretty fine place to shoot. It was also helpful that it was a cloudy […]
Southern Exposure
Sunday, October 26th, 2014
I travel to the Charleston/Savannah area whenever I get the chance. Especially in the winter. And when I’m there I always try to shoot with one of my favorite models, Sarah 219. For this shoot last year I had the good fortune to be able to work with a photographer friend in the neighborhood, George […]
