Once in awhile I just have to post some gratuitous sex…todays the day. One of my fav models Tiffany Stone just hangin out at the studio (this is how she hangs out, no, really!). This is the look I’m after but I rented an $8,000. HMI for this.  Wish I still had it.  It was […]

Sometimes it pays not to get what you ask for.  I was shooting a comp card with a female model in the left image location.  The location is Birmingham which is a big dog walking community, the shops leave  fancy and fun water bowls on the sidewalks for them.  It’s a beautiful boutique style downtown […]

The peace sign here can mean two things, peace or surrender. Hoping for different results when I hit the register button again.  Buying a new computer and changing everything over is a royal pain.  I purchased a new Mac Pro G4 Intel awhile ago and I’m just getting around to changing over.  Yuk.

Yes, please do.  You hear that on the set a bit when working with a makeup artist.  We shot this yesterday at my workshop.  I was working with Debbie Darakdjian for the first time, poor girl she didn’t know what hit her.  While jumping in I liked what I saw and asked her to take […]

Another great workshop came to a close tonight.  For the second time we made a 8×8 ft canvas backdrop.  The only difference was two attendees got to take the backgrounds with them that we all made.  Wow, what a bonus.  The images show everyone working on one of the backgrounds. We stapled the #12 duck […]
