Newsletter #5! Please feel free to give me some feedback on how much you enjoyed it (or not) and what you’d like to see, or see more of. Here’s a link for feedback.

Linda and I spent a lot of time up at Bonita enjoying the snow and rain. We got a few odd projects done and I played a LOT with the 3D printer keeping it busy printing the whole time.

So, very little time to do much shooting. I had a couple shoots in the last few weeks and that’s a very sparse shooting schedule for me. But, I have a Fine Art Nude class on Saturday to teach as well as a student from San Fransisco flying in for training for a couple days. And scattered in there will be some work with the various models that show up for the training sessions. Friday I have three ladies coming, Alanna, Ariana, and Ellely, a new model I’ve not had the pleasure of working with yet.

And last night I gave a presentation at a Denny’s to a large photography club. It was great fun and wonderful people. The funny part came when I noticed the waitress was watching intently and when I asked if there were any questions, she asked me my name. Turns out she’s been wanting to work with me for a couple years and was shock it was me. (grin) Nice to have fans. We talked and I hope to have her in front of my camera soon. Sweet girl!

Until next Wednesday…

Enjoy and have an amazing week!!

Some Composites

Most of you know I like to put models either in different places or add a background for mood. Here are some from last week. The one with Tina on the beach was actually taken at the shore of Salt Lake in Utah. It had a boring sky and no waves. So, I added those. And Tina’s hair is beautiful so I had to bring it out so you could see the curls. Then I put Marcel on another planet with some fun Steam Punk look. Love SP! And I gave Cynamon a cool battlith to play with so I put her in an ancient city.

Ariana - for yet another snake image. One of my favorite

Theres always room for more of Ariana and that hair and face. I revisited the snake shoot where they both fell in love, I swear. And a rare one with her wearing threads.

Randomness Abounds

A few more random edits I did last week. Enjoy these fine ladies.

Jami

I took an underexposed and very unappealing image from a past shoot and played with it until I got to this. One of my favorite images of Jami. I never know where the best images are going to come from. But they always show up…or call my name when I scroll past them when I’m scanning a shoot.

More fun with Sarah

Sarah now lives in Berlin but I hope to see her in May when my grandson and I plan to visit Europe and explore and do some street photography. Should be fun. I also hope to visit with one of my favorite inspiration photographers in Brighton, John Farrar.
