Behind the Scenes
Friday, July 28th, 2023
The last few posts have been from shoots we did when my old friend, Dave Rudin, came for a visit. I took a few snaps with my cell phone while Dave was working with Carrie and Brandy.
Random Snaps
Saturday, August 7th, 2021
Last week my friend Dave Rudin from New York City came for a visit and we ran around taking photos. Here are a couple snaps I took while Dave R was shooting more interesting stuff with his Pentax 67. Above is a shot from inside the tunnel at Blackhand Gorge in Ohio. Below is a […]
Variations on a Place
Saturday, February 23rd, 2019
I did several photos of Areia at this one spot at Starved Rock State Park. I found the different feel of these interesting, so instead of just picking one, I decided to share the series with you. I guess the one above is the “classic” photo with Areia in a pose. But I really like […]
A Favorite Model in a Favorite Place
Wednesday, February 20th, 2019
Starved Rock State Park, not far from Chicago, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the US, if not the world. I love visiting and shooting there. It’s always a bit of a workout. There are steps, sometimes wood, sometimes carved out of the stone, that lead down into the canyons. As they […]
Back to Starved Rock
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017
These are some photos of a lovely model, Areia, who I’ve worked with a few times. She and I spent a day wandering around Starved Rock State Park near Chicago. Starved Rock is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Add a beautiful, talented model and some nice photos are bound to be […]
Dirty Show

So you should go over there if you want to see more frequent photos. https://ello.co/davel51 Meanwhile, it’s time again for the Dirty Show. […]
It’s Calendar Time Again
Saturday, October 4th, 2014
I’ve published some calendars again for 2015. These calendars are a great way to get copies of some of my best photos at a very low price. And they are nice to have hanging on the wall all year long. Above is a calendar entirely of my favorite model, Brooke Lynne. And this second one […]
Claudine At Starved Rock
Wednesday, October 1st, 2014
Sadly this will be my last post from this amazing shoot at Starved Rock. I got to work a lot with the wonderful, fun Claudine on our last day of shooting there. She is always a blast to work with and is a very accomplished model. Claudine is pretty much up for whatever it takes […]
A Second Day at Starved Rock
Monday, September 15th, 2014
After our day of shooting with five models at Starved Rock several of the models had to leave to go home. But Kelsey Dylan and Claudine were able to stay for a second day of shooting. So Dave Swanson and I headed back into the canyons at dawn for a second day of shooting with […]
The End of a Great Day
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014
I can’t remember a day of shooting that was more fun or more productive than the day when these photos and the ones on the earlier posts from this day were taken. It was an amazing day of shooting with a crew of great models. Kelsey wasn’t the only one to brave the waters to […]
