My son - Gianni David - was born on Mother's Day. I'll be spending some time taking care of him, and my wife, so I'll be doing work very sporadically for the next few months...
Here's what I've discovered about MM - It's a great place to meet people who share a passion for creating art, or improving. It's not a great place for a photographer to find paying work (there are plenty of other places for that). It's also a great place to find wonderful MUAs, Hair stylists, etc...

If I initiated contact with you about a shoot, there will always be a makeup artist/hair stylist provided. I don't work without them.
The top 12 on display here are, in essence, a wish list. These are individuals whose work makes me want to be a better photographer. While I know it is unlikely that I will get to work with most, if not all, of them, I will continue to aspire to be the kind of photographer who could...
