(If I didn't recommend them I wouldn't mention them at all.)

I'd like to say that I work full time as a photographer, but that would be a lie.  I'm a photographer because it's something I enjoy and which I do pretty well. 

I'm always looking for new models, especially those who simply want to help make good images, so amateurs are certainly welcome.

I still shoot film and will likely not switch to digital any time soon.  I shoot medium format and some large format, so a shoot won't produce several hundred images; it's more like several dozen, so the model has to be able to work well in a collaborative effort.

I don't get to shoot often due to constraints on my free time and finances.  But I really would like to hear from someone who wants to experiment, to take chances and step out of her comfort zone in order to make pictures both she and I can be proud of.

The Deep South is not known for moderate weather in the summertime, so I really look forward to fall, early winter, and the springtime, when weather (temperature) is more comfortable.  So the perfect season is rapidly approaching, and I'd really like to find someone to work with.

You should be female, with height proportional to weight, and without any noticeable enhancements.  Body art and body jewelry aren't serious issues, and in some respects might be a plus.  Just be open minded, confident, and ready to commit to the process of making pictures.  "Experience" can be either an asset or a liability, but a great attitude is a must.  You see, attitude gets my attention...
