Headshrinker

One of the first shots off my new Instax Mini Lomo camera - check that distortion!  Maggie looks like the shrunken head dude from Beetlejuice!

Bedrock Maggie

This was shot in early October at a great local AZ location, Bedrock City- a very rundown Flintsones-themed tourist attraction from the 60s/ 70s in Northern Arizona on the way to the Grand Canyon.  It was absolutely freezing but I was determined to shoot there and make my family suffer apparently.

The October Spotify Playlist

This month's playlist reflects the transition from full-time teacher to the life of an indie artist, and the best song for it is the new Young The Giant track "Simplify."  When you've got some kind of steady income you don't wake up every day in a panic of how to weave your weird ideas into gold to take care of a bill that's 2 days due, but I remember literal years of my life where I did indeed figure it out.

Young the Giant and Gunship both put out new excellent albums, so they're heavil...

Briana in Scream Queens

This was shot with a local Phoenix model around 2012 at the start of my Scream Queens era. There's a lot of Photoshop involved with these, and as time went on I largely excised any Photoshop compositing/ major editing to my work.  Fun to look at but like all things with special effects, I question if they stand the test of time!

Miss Morgane

W Canadian pinup model Miss Morgane, 2014.  Not quite one for the expressive acting-style images I usually do as seen in this casual noose image.

Kymberly Jane - 18+

The first nude model I ever shot in my backyard.  My beloved dog Mulder, who passed in 2012, makes an appearance in one of these.  Kym at first thought I was a cop because I wouldn't smoke weed with her.

October Update + Ch-ch-ch-changes

Hello Patrons!  I'm all done teaching high school for likely another 10 years- immediately I went to see the latest Mission Impossible film at the cheap theater, then my family went to Williams, AZ, and Las Vegas.  In the coming days I'll be back in LA, doing shoots with all new gear and ideas and styles with some of my favorite people.  October and March are always the best times of the year for me, creatively, money-wise, happiness-wise, travel-wise...

There's...

Lux + Me + Vex

shot by Jacci Jaye for a shoot she styled involving Lacheln, Ulorin Vex + Mosh.  I remember there was a 4th model invited who flaked, thank goodness!

Jacci Jaye NYC Designer

Jacci was a sorta tough/ fetish stylist + designer who I worked with twice, once on this 2012 LA trip that involved Lux Tango, Alysha Nett, Ulorin Vex and Mosh.  Suffice to say I was really shooting for top-tier models and doing a ton of shoots in 2012.  Things have kind of evened out over the years- less shooting, no more pursuit of name recognition or publication, greater interest in just making stuff for long term projects with people I already know.  I'll have a few from stuff...

Jessie - The First Nude 18+

Following up to a previous post with Jessie, the first model I shot nudes with that I didn't end up married to!  Explainer video here.

Lacheln + Sugar

Lacheln (Lux Tango) and another model who neither of us really got along with from our 2012 LA trip.  Mainly it was due to the other model's habit of putting down the designer wear while the designer was present.

The September 2018 Spotify Playlist

This month I have the pleasure of seeing Loudon Wainwright the third live at Phoenix's Musical Instrument Museum- thus many of Loudon's tracks made their way into the playlist.  

Also represented are a Japanese band, Luby Sparks, who licensed a couple of my images of Annika White for their next album cover!

There's a few nods to 80s music this time round, in synth wave acts CHVRCHES and Electric Youth, as well as actual 80s act the B-52's and Queen's "Radio Gaga".  I just had a...

Olivia

one of my first shoots in Portland was with the great Olivia.  She changed her model name several times so I'm not sure how to refer to her...  Shot in the downtown district in the rain!
