Hello Patrons! I'm home from our family summer vacation to Hawaii and my own trip to LA and currently fried mentally and physically. In LA I shot with familiar faces McKenzie Eckels, Sky K Blue, and Ana Corbí, my friend from Phoenix Bethany, and a new model to me Erika (seen above with McKenzie's legs).
June is a month where every year I get excited about shooting in a pool, on a beach, in the ocean, until I realize how difficult it is to deal with things like intense sunshine and other people and heat and waves crashing into models when they are trying to hold an expression, but that's what we did! Erika and Sky are 18+ sets in the ocean, which was so much fun to do literally out in the open with people around, and I also did some cool scanning with a few people during this trip.
Just a couple more bits of housecleaning - June 30th is a 5th week Saturday around here, so it's going to be an unreleased short film piece rather than a set. Sets will return the first Saturday of July!
In "real life" I'm leaving my part-time art gallery job in July and going back to a full-time digital photography teaching job. I don't know if this would affect Patreon or not, but I programmed 4 months out so we're good for a while! With my new full time teaching job starting August 2nd, I’m looking forward to 4 months of relative stability- stable income, not having a bunch of trips or shoots, not having to dispense with family members or massive household projects.
