Instant Kelsey
Tuesday, October 7th, 2014
One of the truths of photography is that whatever materials you use and love will be gone, usually within 20 years or so. Nothing lasts forever in this world. I’ve seen this happen many times over my 50 years in photography. None of the chemical photo papers that I used are made today. Tri-X […]

There’s a lot going on lately with my photos being seen. I just got word today that the photo above was selected for an upcoming show at Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, VT.

Collaboration
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011
I consider my models to be co-creators of the work we do together. I honestly don’t understand why my view on this is so much a minority point of view. I often say that the models do all the hard work and I just take photos of them while they do it. I’m serious about […]
The Way Herb Sees It
Saturday, June 4th, 2011
Usually any photos you see here on my blog are taken by me. But Herb Ascherman has generously given me permission to make an exception and post some of his photos here. Above is one of Herb’s photos of Brooke taken in Herb’s studio with his 8×10 view camera. Take a look at that pose. […]
I knew something was up…
Monday, February 1st, 2010
…But I didn’t know for sure what it was. Now I know and, well, Wow!…just Wow! I’m blown away. Carrie Leigh’s NUDE magazine has given me their first annual Arts for Humanity Award for my participation in Free Speech Coalition et al v. Holder, filed in federal court in Philadelphia. That’s the announcement from the […]

Thursday, January 28th, 2010
Yes, Angie is just as beautiful inside as she is out in the snow. We shot this on the first day we did snow photos, before we went out and froze her cute ass off. Lots of changes going on. It looks like it will be Monday before I’ll be able to start moving in […]
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 […]
Krappy Kameras
Saturday, December 6th, 2008
This is the time of year when there seem to be a lot of juried shows looking for entries. So I’ve been busy getting entries ready. Several have already been sent off and several more are in various stages of preparation. I’ve gotten so that I’ll only enter these things if it is easy to […]
A Famous Photographer
Friday, October 31st, 2008
And now something a little different. I recently received a copy of the Taschen book, Camera Work, The Complete Photographs, as a birthday gift from my wife. It’s a great book. Every photographer should have a copy in their library. This book will show you the starting point for photography as art. And it’s a […]
