I Second That Emotion

his week the challenge is all about emotion, something I know very little about.
Or too much.
I never can tell whether I'm overly emotional or an empty void. But I digress…
This week the plan is to show some kind of emotion, and I'm thinking I should try and capture two different feelings in one person. Something like the Janus mask, maybe you've seen it.

Slowing Down

The idea for the week is long exposure / slow shutter.

I immediately thought of those light painting images I did of Elias out in the desert some years ago.
And I thought of the light painting pics I did of Julian at Ocean Beach a couple years ago.
Seems like I've done it all already.
If I can find a model, I'd like to go to the graffiti tunnels and shoot some nudes while playing with the rave poi balls I bought for a project but never really used.
That could give me some good long exposure light painting vibes. Read More…

Vacation Activity

I'm headed to Hawaii this week.

After two years of almost ZERO travel, the need to get up and get out has taken hold.
And this week's theme is An Activity. So, you know, it's work-related.
I'm thinking of a beach pic, laying out in the sun, feet up… you've seen the pic 1,000 times on Instagram but I don't care because I will be in Hawaii.
Although maybe a photo of shark-diving would be cooler. Or swimming with dolphins. Or drinking poolside. Yeah, I like the sound of that one. Read More…

Your Body Is a Wonderland

This week should be my greatest work ever: nude bodyscapes.

It's what I love to do.
Especially because when you search for the term "nude bodyscape" Google returns 10,000 images of boobs and lady butts; where are the menses?
That's where I come in. It's a service to the community, really. Read More…
