I have had the honor of collaborating with Katie Marie on several occasions... she is and has been a muse for me... not just someone who stands in front of the camera, but someone who listens to a photographer's ideas and implements them.
Cami was one of my first nudes... my gypsy muse. She taught me many things about dealing shooting art nudes. It was an honor to work with her. Originally shot on film... scanned negative.
Katherine was the last model I photographed before I became ill last year. She drove all the way to central New Hampshire... I am afraid that I didn't really to her justice that day. She came to visit me again on Sept. 30, 2011. She danced for me... she listened to the music of the water. Thank you, Katherine.
One of the perks of being retired is the ability to go to coffee shops and relax with my wife and friends and drink the ambrosia that is coffee. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit my friend's roasting operation.
I have been a photographer for over a forty years. The first time I tried photography was in college; my camera and all my slides got stolen.......
The second time, my photographic experience got better. I got a "modern" camera to take pictures of my son. Then it was my son and the neighbor kids. Several parents came to me and asked me to take portraits of their children..."real" portraits, not Sears' portraits........
Then it happened, "My daughter is getting married........". I became a wedding photographer, a weekend warrior.
Today, after over a quarter of a century, I am becoming an art photographer.............
