Photo -shooot-in
A local model, Melissa (aka Red) organized a shoot-in at her place last night. Originally there were to be 4 photographers and 5 models. We ended up with 2 photographers (including yours truly) and 5 models. Actually 2 models didn't show but we had a couple of subs. I went in with the hopes that there would be a model willing to do implied nudity for an artistic shot that I have been wanting to do for quite some time.
A little background. I play the guitar and love stringed instruments. Legend has it that the guitar was created by a lonely Spanish fisherman who lost his wife and missed her. So he created the guitar so that he could be reminded of her while playing the blues I guess. ;-) Anyway - thus the shape. The title of this photo I had already determined would be "The Player" - intended as a visual play on the shape of a woman's body and a double entendre on the way some men treat women. Not being the type of guy who frequents adult stores I made the prop myself out of a leather belt kit and lots of chain (which was a bugger to find!).
I hope you enjoy this photo - comments welcome. Model credits: Jeremy Ware and Morgan Clayton.

Slow to roll
Finally getting the web site whipped into shape. Seems like there's just never enough time to do everything. I have been busy shooting a few engagement and model sessions as well as my landscape and other work. Time to slow down and finish some of the best and post them here and on my website.

Crack of dawn
Was going up to Ocoee this morning but just too durned cold. So instead I packed up the dog and the boy and went downtown to shoot the waterfront. I've been wanting to do this and it seemed like the weather would be right for a nice sunrise.
