About me
I am a very creative person, so much so that it gets frustrating that I can't shoot every second of my day. I constantly have ideas and concepts running through my head and am always looking to work with people that are interested in creating some art.

  I currently shoot with my Canon Rebel XT.... that's right, a Canon user...better YET a Rebel user. I am not ashamed to say that most of my work has been taken with a piece of equipment sold for less than half of what most of the people spend on their cameras.
I am an artist, with an idea...with something to say.

and what I have to say is different every time I shoot.

I don't always mean to shoot something that is dark, it is just the natural progression of my work, I think. I can , and like, shooting nicer things smile but my pretty is still pretty ugly.... but I like ugly.

I am big into working with materials. I am a pack rat and try and use anything that comes to my mind for ideas and love it when the model , etc has something of their own to contribute as well. It just turns out better that way.

"Ideas pop into her head like wild flowers, and she creates them wonderfully in her photography, with a willing soul she could take over the photography world with her dark and yet sexy eye for art." -Luciux Luna

I am also a model, performer, actress, painter, and whatever I feel like being. I have a constant need to create.

Okay now for the standard...

TF: Love doing trade, but because of the circumstances that I know that a lot of us are in... I can not to trade for those that require me to travel long distances (unless I absolutly want/need to ). When you see my monster of a truck (I love it so) you will understand that it loves to eat. ha ha.
Also, if we are doing trade, it must be with who will benefit my creative side...and portfolio. 
You can start with one of my current series'. If you have an idea that I am not totally skipping around about, I'll shoot it (usually) but will not trade.

Escorts: Currently, I have not had any problem with escorts so I don't mind them...but they tend to mess up my creative vibe.... so they can stay in another room (and I don't have sound proof walls wink

Flakage:  People should already know it won't be tolerated, especially if it is for a school project (which I usually don't have time to do anything but use myself...and it fucks up my grade, and makes me angry big_smile

Current Projects
I do a wide variety of projects that I can't really classify into series'. I am actually really bad at those... I get bored too easily (but I tend to come back eventually). Here are a few that I have been working on sporadically .

- Nowhere. Misplaced. Really hard to get into without writing a book. This one has started out as a school project (did I mention I am a photography major?) and I have decided I want to venture into it more. It is a mix of highly edited composite images and not so edited, shots. I am looking to do more of the later once the semester is over.

- Materials. Very broad, I know. My most used material is plastic (seran wrap, painters plastic, etc) but I also like using liquids, food, gauze, etc. Find me something cool and present it to me... it's more than likely I'll think of a lot of cool icky ideas.


I prefer models that are very expressive, have an open mind, and have their own creative mind. It's just so much cooler : )
