Sorry there have been no new posts for a while. I’ve been traveling…the first real travel since the plague began. We went to Vermont, Maine, and the finger lakes region in New York. The reason for the stop near Keuka Lake was to visit and have dinner with Mike Johnston, the owner and operator of […]
Happy Birthday Theda
Friday, July 10th, 2020
Today is Theda’s birthday, so I thought I’d do a little tribute post in honor of one of the best models I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. Above is from the first shoot I did with Theda. We were shooting in a tiny room at the W hotel in mid-town Manhattan. At this […]
More Brooke in the Catskills
Wednesday, January 11th, 2017
Brooke Lynne and I worked together in the Catskills for two days. These are from the second day of shooting. A beautiful place, a beautiful, highly skilled model. It’s hard to miss with that combination.
Back With Brooke
Friday, January 6th, 2017
In August 2015 I was still trying to fully recover from my heath crisis in January. But I was feeling well enough to go on a bit of a photo expedition to the wilds of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. This was an especially good trip because I was joined by my favorite […]
Theda Tribute
Saturday, October 22nd, 2016
First, another shot of Theda showing off her then new tattoo. We did this shoot right around the time of Lucien Clergue’s death. He was on both of our minds. So we did a few photos in memory of him and his wonderful use of ‘striped light.’
A Visit To Theda
Tuesday, October 18th, 2016
In April 2015 I was starting to feel better, though I was still far from recovered from my health crisis. But I felt well enough to make a trip to New York City. I didn’t feel like doing any major shoots outdoors that would have required a lot of physical activity, but I did manage […]
Sometimes the Magic Works; Sometimes It Doesn’t
Saturday, October 6th, 2012
“Sometimes the magic works; sometimes it doesn’t.” That was one of the many wise things that Old Lodge Skins said in the movie, Little Big Man. And it wasn’t something he was upset about. It was just a fact. Well, it’s true of the magic of photography. Especially true when you are dealing with the […]
Farewell New York
Friday, August 24th, 2012
This will be the final post from the shoot near New York City with Erica and Venus. It was a great day of shooting with two wonderful models. The weather was perfect…solid overcast with occasional light rain. Just what I look for when I’m trying to shoot nudes in nature. And, don’t worry, this isn’t […]
Erica’s All Wet
Sunday, August 19th, 2012
When I talk to models about working with me I try to always promise them that they can plan on getting cold and wet and dirty. I put my models through a lot to get the photos I’m after. Most of the models I work with understand what I’m after and what is required on […]
Birth of Venus
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012
I couldn’t help thinking of that painting when I started looking at these photos of Venus de Milo from our shoot just outside New York City. Of course, these photos are nothing like the famous painting. But the model is Venus and she is splashing around in water. That’s close enough for me. There was this […]
