without destination

A new glitch experiment, including audio corrupted in Adobe Photoshop.

the rush of what night siphoned off

Not my usual style, I would normally have skipped past this image from my a NYC shoot with The Renaissance Woman, something about the boots and dress left in frame caught my eye.

How I spent my evening

This is not how I expected my Wednesday night to go, but I’m not complaining. You should see the text message that prompted this concept.

Revisiting one of my favorite places to photograph, with Keira Grant.

praise and denial

in those living waters / keep your ears open, the current is strong / the melody of stones / this is a benediction

A tetraptych featuring Bunny Luna playing in the river that is omnipresent in my life.

Goal unlocked!

Thank you for helping me reach the $25/month goal!

I’ll break out the Nikon Coolscan 5000 and get these rolls scanned ASAP! (I hadn’t realized I had two rolls from almost a decade ago tha...

tollerantia

I've been sitting on this series for almost seven years. It wasn't until a friend was reviewing my archives last night that I saw something I'd missed the first time around.

renunciation

I'm honestly shocked I've not yet posted anything of Marianna Lane on here. That'll have to change.

Today’s posting may be after midnight

Today has been a bit more hectic than usual (the past five days have been marathon sprints). I was invited, on short notice, to take part in an art market this evening. But I wanted to share it wit...

The files are still importing, but I had to share…

I just wrapped a fantastic shoot with a new model. Thank you for supporting me and helping make my artwork possible! This is an exclusive preview only for my Patreon patrons.

bending the JPEG

I was born a film photographer, so the fragility and ephemerality of digital images fascinates and terrifies me.

For the past seven years or so, I've been playing with ways of bending, but no...

The first edit from my shoot with HippieModelChic

A quick update

I've had some major health scares since the middle of January -- I'm fine, but I've spent waaaay too many days of the past couple of weeks in hospitals and clinics. (All this started with a coughâ€...

diablerie

Working with Nettie Harris was like trying to tame the wind. The shoot flew by, though the light was extremely challenging. I've begun to revisit it, in the hopes of seeing through new eyes.

belomancy

Because I see the beauty in every body, I do photograph men -- this was a collaboration between bodypaint artist Aimari and model AJ Michaels.

Finally back at my desk

Thanks to the vagaries of international travel, I didn't get back home until the wee small hours of yesterday (hooray for 21 hour door-to-door travel days). 

I'm finally vertical and wor...
