Poetry By Dead Men

In “full confession” mode, I’m here to tell you I have nothing new to offer. I have not made a single image since the Before Times. That’s more than three years without loading the camera, finding the scenes, composing the image, and tripping the shutter. It is a dissatisfying mental place to be, but I just haven’t wanted to create any images.

So from this melancholic zone, I’m reaching into my box of treasures to offer you some images from those whose work has inspired me, and from whom we will be seeing no new images. I’ll try to have some new images for y’all next time around. Continue reading

Michele and Jet at Blue Hole

A couple of months ago, Michele and I went hiking with Jet.  These days, about the only chance I get to shoot nudes is with her and the boy nearby.  Fortunately, he gave me about 15 minutes with which to work, because he’d fallen asleep on the way to the location.

So in that quarter of an hour I shot a roll of 120 on my lovely model, then the second roll needed to be of Jet and my lovely model, as he had awakened, and was of course hungry.  The boy is ALWAYS hungry… (at least for nursing at the breast).  Maybe next round I’ll put in some slide(s) of Michele at the Blue Hole, but for now I think Jet is the more current topic!

Sadly, I have precious few MF3d images of Jet, as I discovered while looking to put my folio entry together.  I’ve got thousands of digital images, of course, but now I must try to get some more on film!
