Silver
Dominique – Flight, Digital Negative So, I got up at 6:00am yesterday morning. On a Saturday, no less.

So, what would getContinue reading “Silver”

so, i’ve finally made the switch to the Canon 5D Mark II. this is a sea change for me since i’ve been shooting with Nikon gear for years now. buttons are in the wrong place and for my first shoot, it was very slow going. but i know that with continued use, everything will seemContinue reading “and then things got complicated”

Evil, Evil Men and the Women Who Love Us
So, I’m fortunate in many ways to have the opportunity to have the chance to collaborate with so many creative people on a regular basis. The creativity often come in the form of collaborating with talented models and more often than not, the collaboration requires a fair amount of trust. The model has to trustContinue reading “Evil, Evil Men and the Women Who Love Us”
some ghosts
this weekend i had the opportunity to work with carly erin again. we’ve been friendly enough to each other on the socializing sites, but it suddenly came to our attention that we hadn’t actually tried to collaborate on making some art in almost a year! i set up some time at my friend george’sContinue reading “some ghosts”
