Why I do what I do
Don't forget: the full set of unedited photos (over 800!) is available for purchase. (See my tier list.)
2021-01-02 17:31:52 +0000 UTC View PostHappy 2021! I hope you all stay with me on my journey this year, and invite others to join in too! Really can’t do it without you.

"I’ve spent a lot of fruitless effort trying to overcome the black streaks that an abusive relationship left on me. It constantly seemed like I was taking two steps forward and then several thousands backward. When I brought this concept to Brian, shattered heart on my sleeve and head in my hands with defeat and dejection, he received it with open arms and we decided to run with it. Never since the explosive breakup have I felt so completely at one with myself. Making art from the ashen rui...

Everything is real dizzy. I'm light-headed, suffering confusion, a little nausea.
I feel like "David After Dentist," wondering, "Is this gonna be forever?"

Going through this photo set to pick my favs for editing
2020-12-17 22:22:48 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the precautions my new housemates and I have been taking, two of them have tested positive for COVID, and I’ve been increasingly unwell over the last few days. Hoping for the best. Prayers are appreciated.

… it reminds me again to express my appreciation for you, all those who help make these shoots happen.

More blurrrrr shots from Orange Beach, NYC.
All this week, I'm permitting each new post be visible one tier beyond its usual category. Hoping this helps us all get through this elongated COVID season.
I haven't actually gotten feedback from you all about that. Does it make a difference?

Just finished the edit! Painting completed by the model prior to the shoot, edited onto her skin by me using Photoshop CC. Painting used by permission.

Fail shots, while taking the photos I'd intended for that edit I'm working on now.
Blurry photos are usually at the $10 tier, but all this week, each new post is visible to one extra tier, to help us get through the craziness of this lengthy COVID season.

Merging her artwork onto her skin. This style takes a while.
UPDATE: My progress, 3.5 hours later...

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a tier for canvas prints!—and the print company is running a special that expires this weekend. So if you’d like a canvas print of a favorite image I’ve shot, I’d sure love it if you made your selection (and signed up for that tier) tonight/tomorrow! I’d love to save money fulfilling the order, so I can use more of the funds toward continuing my shooting/editing work.

(Also, A Life Doodler did a terrific sketch from this set!)

Every 100th photo from our set, starting with the first shot. No edits or deletions.

Almost finished sorting this set. So many sets to go through and pick the best for editing! Many many many good things to come.
And Selina and I sure enjoyed the challenge of trying to keep this part of the set implied. Good job, leaves.
All this week, each new post will be visible to one tier more than usual. Hoping we can all support each other in these trying times.
