And now for something completely different…
Sunday, May 24th, 2009
We are on our way to Dave Swanson’s home for a visit. Stopped for the night in North Dakota and went to check out a ghost town not far from where we are staying. No time for words…have to get on the road…but here are a few shots from our quick ghost shoot.
Up The Creek
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
Yesterday we hiked a trail up to Apikuni Falls on the east side of the park. It was only a one-mile hike, but the trail guide described it as “calf burning.” It was all steeply uphill. There was still snow on the trail in many places. But there was no exposure to a fall, at […]
Icing the Models
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
It’s cold today. And windy. And cloudy. And rainy. Great weather for photos, unless you happen to be a nude model. Then it’s bad news. But I work with the very best, bravest, toughest figure models in the world. And they proved that again today. We met Montana model Tinytina at 8 a.m. and headed […]
Cold, Wet and Dirty
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
I often tell my models that they will get cold and wet and dirty if they work with me. That’s what happened to Brooke today. At least for a short while in the morning. It was cold and raining this morning. We got up early and drove to the park to shoot at a spot […]
Cannery Show
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
A quick post to let you all know that I’ll have some prints on display at the Cannery Gallery in downtown Dayton for the month of May. This opportunity came up suddenly, so what I’m putting up is what was framed and ready to go. Some old and some new. But at least they will […]
More Claudine
Sunday, April 26th, 2009
More of Claudine at the beach. It was cold. It was very windy. Claudine was a total trooper, though she did have to close her eyes because of all the sand blowing around in this spot, just off the beach on Lake Michigan. I’m loving those shadows and all the lines and angles along with […]
Claudine
Friday, April 24th, 2009
Before I went to Chicago a couple weeks ago I asked a friend who shoots nudes and has a lot of time living in Chicago if he could suggest some models for me to contact. His first recommendation was Claudine. I looked at her portfolio and knew I wanted to shoot with her if possible. […]
Nude in Chicago
Monday, April 13th, 2009
OK…I’m still shooting nudes. I worked with a couple models while I was in Chicago. This is LuxxxNoir and, trust me, she was nude when I took this photo. I told her she could leave her hat on. I shot with her the last time I was in Chicago and she was the first model […]
Life is full of surprises.
Sunday, April 12th, 2009
“Man plans. God laughs.” I’m in Tampa right now. Not a trip that was on my calendar. My daughter, who is in college down here, had to have her appendix removed yesterday. When I heard what was going on I got on the first available flight and arrived here late last night. Ironically, after driving […]
Curl Up With A Good Model
Friday, March 27th, 2009
I worked primarily in black and white for many years, starting when I first worked as a newspaper photographer back in the days when newspapers only published black and white photos. About 15 years ago I found myself becoming more and more interested in color. I shot a lot of color film and was happy […]
