Feminine Strength


I seem to be in the minority of men I know who think women can be strong and feminine and sensual and womanly without looking like the stereotypical Barbie Doll or Video Vixen.

Those that know me know that I am a fan of physically strong women.. Great legs and strong firm frames always hold my attention longer than curvy and smooth. and when given the choice, muscle trumps anything else visually for me..



Yesterday I met Kelly, who at a glance is quite deceptive. She appears very petite and unassuming and has a self described "Tomboy" edge to her.

She has short pixie hair and wore oversized athletic gear and no makeup to our shoot. She seemed really comfy in her own skin without all the trappings most women get caught up in.

But once you get to SEE her, you realize how girly and sweet and goofy and funny she is.. We spent most of our time together laughing and talking trash like an old married couple.


Though she swears I cant, I think after some overdue cardio I can kick her ass.. LMAO

Fear of a Black Planet...


There was a Diversity seminar I attended two weeks ago that reported "self described Whites are the true minorities by population when the world population is taken into account, though they behave as though they are the majority because of American and global white privilege".

Christianity, though promoted and marketed more than any other religion, is also outnumbered.

If there were only 100 people on earth, the racial, ethnic, and religious breakdown would be:

61 ASIAN
13 AFRICANS
12 EUROPEANS
8 NORTH AMERICANS
5 SOUTH AMERICANS / CARIBBEAN
1 OCEANA


31 CHRISTIANS
18 MUSLIMS
16 NON RELIGIOUS
14 HINDUS
13 OTHER

It always amazes me the things we believe being born and raised in America and thinking this is how the rest of the world looks, lives, and believes. If people looked beyond their own backyard, they may see the world differently and hopefully behave accordingly.



I had a great time shooting at our SUSHI SUNDAY photo shoot. While most of the day was me being obnoxious and enjoying the moments, some of the images made me think beyond the intended result.

YIN YANG


" In Chinese Philosphy the concept of yin yang (often referred to in the west as yin and yang) is used to describe how seemingly disjunct or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn.

Many natural dualities – e.g. dark and light, female and male, low and high – are cast in Chinese thought as yin yang.

According to the philosophy, yin and yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, which constantly interact, never existing in absolute stasis. "


I think we often get so wrapped up in ourselves that we forget that we are all a part of a much larger picture. All interconnected and only as strong and healthy as the weakest and sickliest amongst us.

RESTRAINT SERIES: ANTICIPATION... Worth the wait..??

Gotta luv what you know is coming, even when you aren't sure you are ready for it.. Sometime you just have to accept your situation, brace yourself and breathe deeply..

And Embrace the Afterglow.....


Thank you to Rhona for allowing me to be random, bringing her ideas to the table, potentially corrupting others around her, and scaring every small animal within the sound of her voice.. Screaming really is relative..
