(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...

You didn't drown after all. Welcome to MM. I can see you're still managing to attract the best models in the South. Wish I had that kind of charm...

in answer to your question: since i can only get sheet film, and am constantly looking for the next great thing, i will be developing and marketing my own line of blanket and pillowcase film. the pillowcase film is for those who use a field camera and crave portability.

thanks for the nice tag. i like your work a lot--i'm partial to the nudes--not just because naked women are pretty to look at, but those images have a real personal vibe to them. very connected with your models. wonderful work.
