I'm posting some portraits of males today because I am dropping a small email campaign to selected people with the intention of showing them that I can indeed photograph the lesser gender. I love photographing women... But I enjoy shooting sausages too.

Hiatus and UpdateJanuary 2

I am taking a break from posting for a little while. I'm very busy trying to get all my 2009 projects set-up and I have several shoots in the works. Don't worry, I'll be posting shiny new pictures soon enough.

Travel plans include Florida in two weeks, Mexico next month, and then LA afterwards. I'm also doing some fun skiing and heading down to NYC, so if you would like to piggyback any assignments please let me know.

Oh and I'm going to the Obama Inauguration with a couple million of my drunken Democrat friends. Hopefully they won't discover that I'm a spy for the opposition. I'll be sure to mention your name for a federal appointment when I'm twirling Michelle around the dance floor. Now where did I put that cummerbund?

If you are a model, please note that I am no longer doing free testing unless it's casting for a job or you're so breathtakingly beautiful that I've asked you to shoot. Otherwise I'm offering reasonable rates. If you're a lurking photographer and not one of those precious ad-editorial-corporate client types, consider buying some prints, also at reasonable rates. A few hundred bucks will buy you some great collectible photographs.

For you merely curious geeks, I am spending more time shooting with the 35mm H

Merry New Year!
