Becca and Anoush in Olympia

Rebecca and Anoush Anou came by in October and spent five days in our guest room. It was fun hanging out but due to my intensifying back problem setting up to do a shoot was very difficult so we did a short session here at the house and at the studio space. Probably about a half hour each.

 

Two images accepted for the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival

I've been an event photographer for SEAF for six years. Always a great time and a chance to see some incredible art and people watch. I haven't really entered much in the past as I don't really see my work as "Erotic". As the juries change every year you never know how they might select the art that particular year. They said they had over 500 artists submit so it doesn't sound as though they were hard up.

The first on selected was this photograph of Candace Nirvana taken at Hotelito in Todos Santos, Mexico.

The second image is also of Candace Nirvana, this time in Sequoia National Park. In total I submitted five images and no the other three were not of Candace.

Messing with the "Wet Plate" and distressed look.

 

 

The ruins again

At the ruins with the girls. Two fun women that rent office space from me for their esthetician/waxing business asked me to photograph them nude for display in their reception area for Olympia's Art Walk weekend. We wanted to keep them fairly modest as their clientele is very mixed young/old, liberal/conservative so we chose photos that don't necessarily show the "naughty bits" It was a fun time with mimosas for breakfast. The display included a number of my other images of Candace, Jazmine, Vassanta and Ida Mae. Sold all of the photos of my tenants to freinds of theirs. Great night!

Color or Black and White?

Sometimes it's hard to decide.

Titania in the studio

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with Titania, a model that was recommended by Carlotta. She was fun to hang out with and am glad she sought me out for a shoot.

Stephanie Anne in Todos Santos

I've shot a lot with my friend Stephanie but she never ceases to amaze me with her style and grace.
