************************************************

This site is just for fun, go to www.donspiro.com for my professional photography.

I primarily shoot film and prefer large format, no retouching. Currently I plan to explore old printing techniques. Representative samples are at Mayhem #636944.

Photographer for film/tv (see my credits at www.imdb.com) and am now based in both NY and LA. The work on this site is mostly from personal projects.

Always such groovy images !!

And haven't forgotten you, or anyone else--just been devoting everything to getting my novel out! :) Be in mid/late Aug at AMAZON! Check then for:

THE AMULET...by "Michael Christian"! :)

Soon as it does, my time will open up again to either posing OR shooting at last! Been a LONG 18 months! It gobbled me up--but worth it BIG time!

Dedication CAN pay off!! YIPPIE!!

My lifelong dream is coming true at last! YAA! ! I'll keep you posted if interested? I Hope So!! Lovely! :)

I'm SO confident in it, that anyone who buys it and hates it: I'll Buy It Back From
'Em Myself--no questions asked! But if enjoy it, leave feedback at Amazon! Cool, huh? That way...no one loses!

MAY even trade: buy book-for a shoot :)

So BIG apologies for falling out of touch!!

Even if U don't get the book--I HOPE u still consider me a friend! :)

YES, my tags are long! I'm a chatterbox.
Was MUCH quieter when I was a man!!

LOL!

I just do what I can to keep all SMILIN'

Lifes just too damn short for icky drama!

HUGS!

I saw your post on the "WHY shoot film" thread . . .

I'm trying to get the administration of MM to give those of us who still shoot film our own little sub-forum: the Traditional Photography Sub-Forum. It's aim is to allow those of us who want to discuss film issues the freedom to do so without digital zealots trolling in and disrupting our threads. Anyone may post in the thread to ask a film question - but they're not allowed to start a "digital is better than film - you guys are dinosaurs" rant. Here is the link:

http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=382891

Please come in and add your voice and hopefully we can get our own forum!

Best Regards,
JAY
