More Kelsey
Sunday, June 28th, 2009
I’m having a real busy and fairly unpleasant weekend. So, here’s something pleasant to look at. Another of Kelsey from this week’s shoot. She is a very fine model. Seattle’s gain is certainly my loss.
Hanging out
Friday, June 26th, 2009
A while back I edited my profile on Model Mayhem with the aim to cut down on the number of models contacting me wanting me to shoot them. I was getting way too many messages that essentially said: “I’ve been modeling for 15 minutes now and I’ll be coming to your area and I think […]
Wild Flowers
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
I’m staying pretty busy with shoots and computers and editing, so I haven’t had much time to blog. The truck is still in the shop. I’m finally running a 38-hour synch process on two 1.5T external hard drives that will, when it eventually finishes, have all my work duplicated on each drive. Still some more […]
Blame CS4
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
Yes, I haven’t been here posting updates because of CS4. I’d been putting off upgrading my version of PhotoShop for quite a while, mainly because I knew my old studio computer would not be able to handle the newer versions. I was still using the original CS. My studio computer was so old that I […]
Flathead Lake and Tina
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
One of the things I enjoy about traveling to do my figure work is the chance to meet and work with a variety of models who live in the areas I visit. I’ve encountered some very beautiful and talented models this way. Tinytina is a perfect example of this. I contacted her through Model Mayhem […]

I’m at the studio today catching up on e-mail and setting up my new studio computer while my mechanic figures out how much damage the deer did to my truck. Not much new to report here, but here’s another photo from the trip. That’s _G_ freezing on a fallen tree at Flathead Lake. You may […]
Home Again
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
_G_ and I made it home last night after a long two-day drive from Dave Swanson’s place in northern Minnesota. It was a great visit with Dave and his wife. A fine way to end this trip. We traveled 4930 miles in 83 hours and 10 minutes of driving time. We had a great time, […]
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 […]
