Big Dune
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
Driving along the road east of Death Valley we saw a sign with an arrow that simply said “Big Dune.” And looking in the direction of the arrow, there it certainly was…a big dune. So we stopped to shoot. It was well worth the stop. This is Vima adding a little foreground interest to the […]
Titus Canyon
Saturday, September 20th, 2008
As is often the case, I had my models climbing the walls while we were shooting. In this case Vima and Neva are climbing the wall of Titus Canyon in Death Valley…and looking quite sensational while doing it, I must say. We didn’t do a lot of hiking in Death Valley. It had cooled off […]
The Moon Sets Over the Amargosa
Saturday, September 20th, 2008
While we were shooting in Death Valley and the surrounding area we stayed at a wonderful place, The Amargosa Hotel and Opera House in Death Valley Junction, just outside the park. You can read the very interesting story of the Amargosa and its owner, Marta, on its web site. I had hoped to meet Marta […]
Rules Are Made To Be Broken
Friday, September 19th, 2008
I’m in Los Angeles after 4 wonderful days of shooting in and around Death Valley. It was a great trip, largely because of the fantastic models who went out in the desert with me. NevaehLleh and Vima just did a fantastic job day after day in the heat and sun, on the rocks and in […]
Green Hawaii
Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Hawaii is green. Everywhere, green. Overwhelming green. Green that seems like it might swallow you up if you turned your back. It’s not a threatening sort of thing, just a powerful one. Here’s Leona Anne again, about to succumb to the greenness of Hawaii. I’m in LA now. Heading out to Death Valley with a […]
Lost…Under the Banyan Trees
Friday, September 12th, 2008
Did some shooting yesterday with Leona Anne who got up before dawn and very capably guided me to some excellent locations for shooting, then added her beautiful form to the beauty of Hawaii. For those of you who are still fans of “Lost” (I think the show jumped the shark after the first season and […]
Students Achieving Oneness Will Advance To Twoness
Thursday, September 11th, 2008
I stole that post title from Woody Allen…one of my favorite quotes from him. I spent most of today wandering around in the vicinity of Manoa Falls and the Lyon Arboretum. So I thought I’d share a few of my snapshots from the day.
Aloha
Sunday, September 7th, 2008
Don’t hate me. I’m in Hawaii. In a hotel on Waikiki Beach. These photos were shot from the balcony of our room. I’ve never had any desire to visit Hawaii. I don’t know why, it was just never on my list of places to go. I’m here because my wife’s old college roommate invited us […]
Graceful Athena
Thursday, September 4th, 2008
I don’t really have time to write today. I’m catching a plane in a little while. I hope to have internet access while I’m traveling, so I’ll post more when I can. Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of the lovely and graceful Athena from last Friday’s shoot. More when I can.
Steely Phoenix
Monday, September 1st, 2008
Life has been busy and it looks to continue to be for the next few weeks. But I managed to fit in a good shoot with a couple favorite models in Dayton on Friday before the holiday weekend started. Here’s one quick pick from that shoot. That’s Phoenix Kelley showing the contrast between her fine […]
