CRIME SCENE: Discovery in the Trunk..

2011-11-26T22:45:00.011-05:00

Did my first shoot in well over a year.. Really needed to do something creative to knock the rust off.. Luckily I met a new model, Lexii, who was looking to be adventurous and explore her edgier creative side.. and was patient enough to let me work out those couch potato kinks..

Had the opportunity to shoot in a buddy's garage in the trunk of one of his classic cars.. I forgot how big those things used to be.. a 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight can comfortably hold a 6' model AND a spare tire with room for tools and luggage..

Took a minute to get my bearings and remember how to set the manual settings on my camera, only to realize all the batteries in my flashes were dead.. Luckily I had some of those little LED flashlights in my truck.. So with a little maneuvering, some well placed magnets to mount them to the trunk lid, and a slow shutter speed, we were able to shoot without incident..

Thanks to Gary for not freaking out when I told him I wanted to line the trunk of his car with 6 mil plastic sheeting and photograph a dead body in it..

And thank you to Lexii for stepping outside of her glamour comfort zone and taking her first steps towards the Artsy Fartsy Dark Side..

CRIME SCENE: Video Compilation

2011-04-09T21:21:00.011-04:00

I recently got a camcorder and video editing software and have no clue how to use either.. so this was my attempt at practice .. I just happened to be listening to Kanye at the time, so he is the soundtrack for this.. will have to look for creepier music next time..

This is a compilation video of my Crime Scene Series.. I plan to do more compilation videos to go along with some of my future photography projects...

GHOST HUNTERS..

2010-11-06T04:14:00.003-04:00

Went to Washington Courthouse to shoot in an abandoned State Children's Home.

Walking through the house and seeing all the craftsmanship that was still in tact 100 years later was impressive.. Knowing why the house was there made me question the innocent lives that passed through those doors.

Sometimes I think we take for granted when someone really loves us or cares enough for our well being to take care of us; when they could have made other choices.

Thanks to Ron and Rachel for coming to play..

My friend DJ was shooting Kori Danielle today and I snuck over and snapped these with my little point and shoot camera..

She is such a lovely person.. Has a great laugh and a really inviting disposition.. She looks like one of those romance novel women.. Like the wind should be blowing wherever she is.. I almost expected her to have a horse nearby..

Chloe is just amazing..

If I was half as talented as she is at her age, I would have probably been completly full of myself.. but she isnt.. She is funny and smart and creative and not afraid to take a dare..

She is an amazing photographer and a self portrait model.. I decided to take her out of her comfort zone and hopefully provide an experience that would shed some light where she may not have looked before..

We spent the day shooting and talking shop and she tried really hard not to get grossed out by fish heads and chicken feet.. I hope the experience was worth the nausea for her..

I look forward to being a part of her creative journey.. And her mine..

2010-05-10T10:33:00.002-04:00

My Grandmother was and IS always a driving force in my life.. She would tell me that I was ALWAYS enough, just being me.. I didn't need to prove anything to anyone else or live up to anyone else's idea of what or who I should be.. I just had to be happy with me and be accountable for my decisions.

Part of what many perceive as arrogance, is my Grandmother coming through in me.. Giving me the strength and resolve to be ME and stand firm in that.. No "best foot forward" nonsense but standing firm on both feet.

I am sure Lilian Mims is watching me, and proud of the legacy she has left behind..

SENSUALITY...

2010-02-15T08:48:00.007-05:00

Is Sensuality Covert or Overt..?? Is there an innocence to sensuality or does it require a womanly confidence..?? Does it have the same appeal when it is force fed as when it is savoured.?? Must it be Carnal and Fleshy to be appreciated for the intangible attributes.??

Webster Says:

Main Entry: sen·su·al
Pronunciation: \ˈsen(t)-sh(ə-)wəl, -shəl\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin sensualis, from Latin sensus sense
Date: 15th century
1 : relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite : fleshly
2 : devoted to or preoccupied with the senses or appetites b : voluptuous c : deficient in moral, spiritual, or intellectual interests : worldly

I absolutely LUV the times when I just get to play with fun people and experiment without restrictions.. It really is as much about the process as the outcome for me..

Feminine Strength

2009-07-27T09:29:00.010-04:00

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...

2009-07-27T08:18:00.007-04:00

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:
http://www.miniature-earth.com/me_english.htm

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

2009-07-19T09:11:00.009-04:00

" 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.

2009-06-16T21:37:00.017-04:00

What some call torture, others call pleasure..

There really must be a thin line between pleasure and pain.

I often wonder how many people are willing to explore the darker side of themselves. I think more people than not have the desire, but lack the will..

I am often surprised by who I find when I ask the question, though rarely are they willing to just volunteer the information for fear of being judged harshly or looked at differently.

What a much more interesting place the world would be if more people asked the questions and better yet, volunteered the information instead of hoping someone guesses correctly..

I always think it is better to know than not know.. and more room out than in..

Dr. Phil likes to say that forcing people to guess never works to your benefit..

I just want to publicly thank the models who put up with my randomness.. No models, animals, or dolls were injured in the creation of my images.. Though I did get a cramp in my hamstring trying to balance myself while I took these... But I worked thru it..

2009-03-30T10:39:00.020-04:00

Today I met Hannah..

She is fun luving and intelligent and athletic and a Natural REDHEAD..

It has been said that the redhead gene (aka "Ginger Factor X"), whilst recessive, appears in up to 40% of some populations.

BUT, while that is true, REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.

The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world's population has natural red hair, created by a mutation in northern Europe thousands of years ago.

Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and producing little redheads of their own.

It takes only one red-haired parent to produce ginger-headed babies, but two redheads obviously create a much stronger possibility.

LONGING....

2009-03-16T10:14:00.009-04:00

As with most of my shoots, I never have specific images in mind, only a feeling I am looking to capture.. This shoot was no exception..

I luved the location and the various textures it provided, so I just wanted to play off of that.. Allowing the models to just be one more texture in the image.

So it literally went from a Wizard of Oz theme to feeling like those old Romance Novels..

Thank you Ron (ETB Photo) for being such a gracious host and sharing these locations with me and to Traycee J and Goddess Angie for coming out to the middle of nowhere and spending an afternoon with us playing and avoiding old wells and green moss spiders..

Lost Innocence...

2009-03-13T06:36:00.016-04:00

There is something about the Loss of Innocence that is appealing in a very primal kind of way.. That desire is the foundation for a lot of behaviors; Deviant and otherwise.

People often desire to have an experience they have seen or heard others had or be the first to help someone else have an experience that they have already had themselves .

And the more innocent the apperance of the person, the more desireable that urge becomes for others to help them fulfill that experience.

So I often wonder if the person being viewed is actually as innocent as the viewer perceives them to be, or is it just a reflection of the viewers desire being projected onto them.

Thank you Angie for 'Monkey Toes' and pre-moistened Animal Crackers and to DJ for the opportunity to talk thru the process and remember why everthing should always be a teachable moment and a learning experience.

I was finally lucky enough to get to shoot with Traycee J after missing multiple opportunities to shoot together.. Just talking to her inspires me because she is open to ideas and always brings options to the table..

She gets this twinkle in her eye and this devilish grin when an idea inspires her and you get a glimpse of what is behind her innocent looking girl next door exterior..

I was throwing around random thoughts about the effort it would take to butcher a person and drag their remains to some secluded area.

So she decided to make it real for me.. I shot it like a double exposure and layered the images on top of each other.. So she had to climb in and out of two garbage bags to get these done..

I am sure there is an easier way to do it digitally, but I suck at photoshop so I did it the way I used to do it with film..

THANK YOU TRAYCEE for all your help and input..

and your willingness to crawl over tree roots..

At the same shoot I met an AMAZING SFX Makeup Artist named KIMBERLY KAIN...

After watching her do some really quick fake scars on people I found myself inspired to try something more visual and allow her to do what she does and build around it.

Beauty Is..

2008-07-01T16:13:00.022-04:00

Beauty TRULY is in the eye of the beholder..

Beauty truly is subjective.. I tend not to look for conventional beauty when I shoot but find beauty in the mundane.. I try to reach each subject where it is.. Find what is interesting about it and capture that..

That is because rarely are my subjects the people IN the pictures I take.. They are normally there to respresent the intent of the images.. not to be the subject of them..

There was a time when all I wanted to do was take pretty pictures of pretty women.. So I shot strictly to capture what I thought made each of them beautiful in a way that was the most flattering for them.

Then I took some Art classes and "drank the kool-aid" that my professor was serving.. Not quite Jim Jones, thankfully, but the things he made us find to shoot were things I would have never done on my own.. They were things that made me have to focus beyond the physical to find the essence of them..

I think that is why I dont have the same passion for shooting glamour.. I always hope there can be more to it than the obvious.. I was told by someone whose opinion I respect that whenever I do shoot glamour there is always something lacking.. and I think what is lacking is my passion for it..

Just as I tell the models I shoot with that they need to lose themselves in the process and buy into it enough to become whatever is necessary to play the role the image calls for convincingly because there are things few can fake well visually..

I guess this is the proverbial two way street..

So my goal for this summer is to find some passion for glamour.. and translate that visually..

This past week was my first attempt..

Thank you to JENNIE and HOTCHILD for coming out to play with me.. And to RICK J. for the Kool-Aid.

I wanted this whole series to be like a Vintage horror movie.. Not the new flashy kind, but that old school feel to them.. Before all the special effects and high tech computer graphics..

The goal is not to focus on the gore, but go back to when the SUSPENSE was what kept you on the edge of your seat..

Back when everything wasnt spoon fed to the audience because of short attention spans and people had to use their own imagination..

Mother Nature

2008-05-31T10:23:00.029-04:00

Something about Maternity and Motherhood that always fascinates me.. People are quick to tell you about how beautiful it is, but there is also a deeper side that many wont discuss in public..

There is often a feeling of abandonment and isolation that most new mothers feel that can be overwhelming. and the responsibility of caring for a new life is bigger than most can grasp, so they tend not to think about it and just function day to day..

But what happens in those quiet times is what people really need to know about.. The part that is felt and not verbalized for fear of being shunned or judged..

CRIME SCENE : VOYEUR

2008-05-28T09:03:00.022-04:00

I am often surprised at how dark my thoughts can be.. Not that I have the urge to perform any of these acts, but I am often fascinated at the visual and psychological aspects of them..

So I try to capture these thoughts the way they FEEL to me, not so much the way they would look if I witnessed it. So often the gruesome visual elements dont come into play for me, just the emotional ones.

I often wonder how far each of us are from becoming the worst of ourselves..?? How much of ourselves do we suppress in order to not be judged harshly by those whose judgement we care about ??

This is not just in reference the violent side of ourselves, but EVERY aspect of who we truly are..

I got the urge to add a difference element to my Crime Scene Series this time.. Not so much CSI, as Voyeur..

I say Voyeur because it is emotionally gratifying to be able to capture what was only random thoughts swimming around in my head hours earlier..

This is the start of my Form Study in various Rural Locations...

I have decided that this year I am going to get back to why I picked up a camera the first time.. and embrace the frustration that I felt..

TIA was brave enough to come out and be my "Virgin Location Guinnea pig". She has been the catalyst for a few of my current projects.. She came out to play with me "eyebrow-less" on a wet and chilly day and fight thru the Horse Poop and random Cat Urine for some images that I didnt even know would work visually..

Because of that, I went back the very next day to shoot more..

I want to thank those who trusted the concept enough to be a part of it..

Sensuality

2008-03-27T12:21:00.020-04:00

Where does the line between Sensuality and Sexuality reside..??

I tend to think MOST women are naturally sensual, even when I am not physically or sexually attracted to them.. There is a comfort that comes with that sensuality that cant be quantified..

So, at least for me, the two are not synonymous... Sexual attraction doesnt necessarily mean sensual and Sensual doesnt mean sexually attractive..

I think you can want to have sex with someone who is physically attractive but isnt sensual at all.. and someone who isnt necessarily physically attractive to you, but oozes sensuality and confidence..

I am sure for most that line is so blurry they have no idea where one ends and the other begins

Dolls and Masks..

2007-11-03T09:57:00.011-04:00

I am in the process of shooting a DOLL SERIES and a MASKED NUDE SERIES. I want both to be very straight forward portraiture while allowing the content to be interesting on its own merit.

With the Doll Series, I dont want to make the models LOOK like dolls, but have somthing about them that resembles the dolls they choose..

The Masked Nudes are much more about the Mask than the nudity.. I hope the body language adds some depth to the images and allows the personality of the model to shine thru the mask.

I like the red background with these for some reason.. So I think I will continue with that for the future shoots with both of these projects.

GLAMOUR SHOTS

2007-11-03T09:40:00.014-04:00

I decided to shoot some Glamour Shots only to realize that I dont like to shoot traditonal glamour.

Most of my ideas have little or no glamour intent at all.. I try to find something beyond the superficial with most of what I shoot, but glamour is about the superficial and anything more is often seen as a distraction from that intent.

I would rather shoot in an effort to capture the essence of an idea.. I would rather shoot something interesting than something pretty.. SO where does that leave me..

I had an Art Professor tell me that my models were often too attractive and a distraction.. I didnt think that was possible, but now I understand what he meant..

Since beauty is subjective, can it be interesting as well.. ??

Does it have to be one or the other.. ??

CRIME SCENE: CSI

2007-11-02T16:50:00.016-04:00

I dont know why the darker aspect of life always seem to get my creative juices flowing.. I have been shooting stuff lately that didnt really inspire me but was fun to shoot because of WHO I was shooting it with.. Then I decided to shoot something that would inspire me no matter who I was shooting it with..

After being sick and watching way too many CSI reruns on USA network, I felt like I wanted to capture that same feeling in some new pictures..

It made me remember why I used to luv being in photography classes because each week there was something different we had to come up with and find people or things to shoot in order to realize our vision.

My professor would require us to have something beyond the superficial to offer, something deeper than a pretty picture or something done well technically..

So in planning this shoot I tried to think about evidence trails and what would help to lead the investigator back to the killer.. So there were little cues and clues left around to help tell the story..

Original Woman

2007-11-02T16:20:00.009-04:00

Ok.. I had planned on doing a Woodland Nymph series at our Montly Group Gathering this past month, but the scenery in Ohio is unpredictable this time of year and the brush was baren already where it looked like deep cover three weeks ago..

So I had to change my gameplan at the last second and went for more of a primal approach..

I wanted it to feel more animalistic and an almost "original woman" kind of mentality.. SO at the last second I had to try to make what each person brought to the table fit the intent of the images..

So between fighting a sinus headache the whole day that had me sitting in the shade of a picnic shelter for about 3 hours during prime sunlight, and having to rethink what I had planned for 3 weeks at the last minute, I am happy with the outcome..

THANK YOU for those who braved the elements for me.. and stepped outside of their normal comfort zones..
