Swamp Thang
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
You wander around in the woods around here long enough and you are bound to come across a scene like this one. It’s just like hunting mushrooms. You have to know where to look. It also helps if a beautiful model like Kelsey Dylan is hiking along with you and looking for just the right […]
The Tree Of Life
Sunday, August 1st, 2010
That’s a photo of Kelsey on a friend’s farm last week. Once again the light was not cooperating with me, so I just determined to use the light that was there to make something. This photo would not have been possible on the overcast day that I was wishing for. Whatever light is there naturally […]
Claudine at Starved Rock
Friday, July 30th, 2010
Here’s a shot of Claudine out at Starved Rock State Park, that I did a while back when I was up in Chicago. I shot this when I was up there for the opening of my show at Gallery Provocateur. That show has ended and I’ll be back in Chicago next week to pick up […]
Flower Child
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
I’ve been enjoying shooting with Kelsey again. She is such a wonderful model that I always want to shoot with her, no matter what else is going on. Unfortunately, what else that has been going on every time we’ve shot so far this summer is bright, hot sunlight. Not the ideal light for what I’m […]
Moving Forward
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
First let me say publicly what I’ve already said privately to Mo. I did not intend my last post to come off as “snarky.” I was trying to be light and funny. Obviously I failed. I probably shouldn’t have written it quickly between trips to the hospital, or should have let it sit for a […]
Not Politically Correct
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back here to respond to Mo’s comment. It’s been a busy time. The long drive back from Vermont and trying to catch up on things from being gone almost two weeks…then my son had to go into the hospital. Nothing too serious, but still much more […]
Suck it in (or up)
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
OK…there’s Brooke on the north shore with her stomach sucked in to get this started. Sorry Brooke. Thanks for the comments Dave and Robert. And thanks for asking the original questions, Mo. Here’s the gist of what Mo said in her comment: Why do we frequently see the nude model with her tummy sucked in? It’s not […]
Sweatin’ With An Oldie
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Sorry for the lack of updates. It’s not my fault. I’m in Vermont visiting my mother-in-law. Her 95th birthday was yesterday. There is no air conditioning at her house, which is usually not an issue in Vermont. But this record heat wave the eastern part of the U.S. is experiencing is here now too. It’s […]
A Perfect Dilemma
Thursday, July 1st, 2010
Usually when I’m working outdoors and I find a good location I look around for a little bit and find the photo at that spot that works for me. I often shoot a few variations and sometimes back at the computer doing editing I’ll find that the one I like best is not the one […]
Just a snapshot
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
This is the last photo I’m going to be posting from my first day of shooting with Brooke on the north shore of Lake Superior. I’m calling this one a snapshot because we were taking a quick look at this location and were not planning to shoot, so I didn’t bring my camera backpack with […]
