Now, for something a little different. Rachael wanted some pics with her mother, Dana, so I invited them over to the studio to sit for me.
It was nice doing something a little different than I usually do, but still beautiful and glamorous just the same.
I wonder if I’ll still get a gazillion views without all the nudity and stuff. Probably not. Oh well, I think they’re pretty nonetheless.
More shots from the session to come.

Day 366 of 365 More. Cheers. Before I do anything else, I want to wish a happy birthday to my lovely fiancee, Stephanie. In many ways, 365 only exists because of Stephanie. We went on vacation for her birthday last year and while she was sleeping, I was in a hotel room with nothing to…
Amaya had the idea of doing a nude photoshoot down at one of her favorite spots in West Virginia. So I took Rachael and Laurie down there to do the shoot with her.
We got there at the crack of dawn to catch golden hour light which provided some amazing results in my opinion.
Sarah is a model who contacted me when she saw another model’s pics I’d taken. She had the perfect look to be one of my pages for the Maverick Tarot, but as with lots of the other models I’ve worked with, I decided it’d be a good idea to take some other shots too.
I got tons of great shots with Sarah, and I’m sure I’ll be posting more in the coming days.

Like most of my recent models, I met Laurie on Model Mayhem. I actually saw her as a preppy staff card type for my Tarot Set, but she told me she really wanted to try to be one of the sword cards. The more I talked to her, the more I liked the idea of using her there. She has a very versatile look and that ended up being perfect for the idea of the 3 cards, a reflection of the one suit in another.
Every once in a while its nice to get out of the studio. Amaya and I went to West Virginia’s Spruce Knob state park to do a photoshoot this week. These are some shots from that fun filled day.

Day 277 of 365 days. You know what’s great about being a bum (errr, starving artist)? Sometimes you can just chuck all your responsibilities for the day and spend the entire afternoon sitting on a barstool, drinking beer and talking shit with a friend. Granted, my "responsibilities" for the day were limited to working on…
For the Class with Dave group.
Assignment: "The Street" in B&W – Your portrayal of life on the street. Photos must be black & white.
This is the Craig Street Bum. He is what I can best term, a professional homeless man. In one month, I will have lived in Pittsburgh for 15 years. For this entire time, this man has been stationed on Craig Street between Forbes and Fifth Avenue. He sometimes moves from one side of the street to the other. He is never there at night. But every day, rain or shine, whenever I am on Craig Street he is there, perched on his milk crate, with a cup in front of him begging for change. I have often wondered if he is really homeless or not. Not to be callous, but you’d think after 15 years he’d either be back on his feet or would have died. I don’t very often see people giving him change (I think most passers by are aware that he is simply there every day) but he clearly changes his clothes from time to time, despite having "the homeless look." If you pay close attention you’ll even notice that his Nikes are newer than mine.
Maybe I should give the panhandling thing a try.
Day 248 of 365 days. Spent the whole day working on my website. That’s right, I’m up and open for business. I still have a lot of other stuff to work on with it, and its not "Internet Explorer 6" compliant yet, but if people want to look at it and let me know what…
Day 225 of 365 days. Got home just before midnight last night from a wrestling show, after not really sleeping the night before. Went to sleep and now I’m off to another show that I won’t be home from til 2am probably. Sometimes this hobby is more demanding than a "real" job. I suppose I…
Day 217 of 365 days. I was looking through my previous pictures earlier and just enjoying seeing where I’ve been and what I’ve done, and I realized that I hadn’t really done a simple portrait in quite a while. I’ve just been taking shots that were somehow related to my day and talking about that.…
Day 216 of 365 days. The kids have been wearing these crazy shoes lately with roller skates built in. There have even been a few news stories about them (don’t let your kids wear Heelys, they’ll bust their skulls). I’ve seen 8-year-olds zipping around the mall on them from time to time in the last…
