About me
I take pictures.  Contact me if you'd like me to take your picture. 

I'm not creepy, so that's a plus.  I'm married and will not hit on you, no matter how much of "the sexy" you have.

Most of my shoots are just people I like showing up and seeing what happens.  But, if you have a specific idea, let me know, because I'm probably all for it.

I tend to like things that feel natural or organic.  For some people that means a more simplified portrait, for others that means jumping around and doing crazy stuff.  It's whatever fits you, as long as it doesn't feel forced.  I'll give direction if I see something could be improved, but it's based on the flow of things.  I'm not one of those guys who has an exact image in his head that he is trying to force you to match, I will work with you and see what happens. 

I like people.  And I like pictures that make them happy.   

I'm looking for weirdos or people with special faces or who are shameless.  If you are just abnormally attractive, I'm sure I can work with that too.

That's nice, I'm a gypsy, too. I love New Orleans. Boston is my favorite, though.

I like the burroughs of NYC a lot better than I like Manhattan. Brighton Beach is my favorite.

Hi Mike, nice to meet another local California photographer!

When you're looking for a place to come shoot, my studio rents full time for $15-$18/hr including lighting.

D. M. Gremlin Studios, www.dm-gremlin.com/photo/.

We also have a free monthly Open House event, and our next lighting workshop is Fine Art & Figure Nudes on July 26th, with Adam Chilson MM#19554.

Information links for those events is at the top of my profile, or you can email me at studio@dm-gremlin.com, the studio's business email, for more information.

Hope to see you at the studio for a rental, event, or workshop soon!

It's amazing to envisage Glasgow by this, but it's also so true.

Actually I think they were introducing themselves as Buddhist monks. But they were fakes. Everybody knew them. And I know that we're talking about the same people because they tried to sell a heavy metal cd to one of my friends too..
Part of history now..

Haha, I know the Hare Krishna in Glasgow. I think they are actually some kind of a more obscure sect. I used to be unable to walk down a street in the city centre without being approached. They disappeared now.
