Watchers

This past November I had a seizure and broke and dislocated my left shoulder. In January, it happened again. The good news... I'm on the mend and starting to shoot again. I'm just trying to get to where I was and then surpass it.

If all goes as planned, I will be mentoring at a Nashville, TN SuperShoots workshop April 14th & 15th!
Here's a link if you're interested.

May 26th & May 27th there will be an avant garde workshop out of my home and if the weather is good at some terrific nearby locations. We're still working out the details but it should be fun! I work with a lot of talented people!

June 9th I'm having my Annual Pinup BBQ Party and entertainment has already been lined up! Rosy Glow, a Burlesque performer, will be performing with fire! I can't wait! My BBQ's are always so much fun! Good people, good times!

June 16th through the 21st I will be mentoring at Hit the Lodge Xtreme! I'm bringing a lot of pinup stuff! HTL is like band camp for photographers. ; )
Here's a link if you're interested.

Here's another link to my own experience plus some behind the scenes photos and video.

At this time the only other SuperShoots event I will be mentoring at will be St. Louis SuperShoots which is near me. Last year was fun.

Personally, now that I'm shooting again, I'm looking to get tear sheets whether online or print. I had a lot of downtime to think about what I want to do and this year one of my goals is to achieve getting tears, plus up my photography to another level. I'm also trying to start having behind the scenes video of what I'm doing. That's been a little 50/50. Any advice would be great!

When I'm not shooting, I'll be doing physical therapy, getting my health in order, and a lot of spring cleaning and painting. Plus we're getting new windows put in and I'm finally getting my red door! Woot! It should be here within a couple of weeks. YAY!

With all the downtime I've had, I really enjoyed looking at all the fabulous work on here. Truly amazing work! So inspiring, and it gave me something to look forward to each day! So for that DA, thank you!

I have been following your work for quite a while now and I just wanted to stop by and say that I really admire your style and skill. Your photographs are exceptional and your post production is just flawless! You have a style that is uniquely yours and I always look forward to seeing your newest work. It is obvious that your models love working with you and that you develop a real connection with them. I am still new to photography and photographers like you are my inspiration!

To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause – there's the respect that makes calamity of so long life...
