"What dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil..." The Bard
I love to shoot. You could probably say I live to shoot. I am always willing to try any new idea, the more original, the more interest I will have.

~ a list of veteran photographers dedicated to helping "new" models build their portfolios. Current international membership is 600+.
By the way, there are a lot of really great photographers on here. Make sure you are comparing what you want to accomplish with the style of the shooter. If there is something you want to shoot but don't see an example here, drop me a note, and I'll post that style or send you some samples.
I am looking to do more edgy shots. If you have something in mind that you've been dying to do, drop me a note.
I also have a strange obsession with the Full Moon and probably have more pics of it then NASA by now. If you ever want to do something under the full moon, drop me a note.
Lastly, I believe that nothing is impossible, we are only limited by our imaginations. I love working with people who have unlimited imaginations. Update: I will only consider paying NUDE models. Don't drop me a note looking for work but setting so many limits the only safe thing to shoot is a headshot. Thanks.
Peace.

"Inside each of us is a light that we protect and hide from the rest of the world. It is the most precious part of us, and sometimes we protect it so much we nearly smother it. It's the photographers duty to not only be able to see that light no matter how bright or dim, but to get you to open up and let it shine brightly through you so that your real beauty is what is captured, not the mask that you normally wear."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I see you and know you are only a ghost,
shadows and fog creating an illusion
I can only breathe in for a moment.
The light changes and you are gone,
and I am happy to have known you,
sad the moment is passed.

I don't like the idea of having a "bad list" up I think it's too negative. But since I have had over 30 flakes in the last year and 98% never called to say they were not going to make it I have devised a different way to point out those who did not show up. I will take a picture of the Teddy Bear in an outfit that represents what I was going to shoot with the model and put it on my port with the Flakes Name and MM#. It will be known as the Bad News Bear Club. You probably don't want to be a member so please call if you can't make your shoot. Starting today.

And to be fair, I am always late. It's a flaw, I'm working on it.

And now, my top 12. I've already said I've worked with, been coached by, mentored by many great people here on MM and beyond. If I have worked with you and you are not in my top 12, please don't be offended. Currently those in my top 12 are (in no particular order) my best friend and muse, my confidant, my idea of perfection, my idea of perfect beauty, my inspiration and my twin, my rock, my conscience, my spirit, my Snow White, just one of the nicest people you will ever meet and those who were there to bail me out at a moments notice when another model flaked. My top 12 changes, as does my portfolio. But for right now, these are the ones who make it happen for me. They inspire me and remind me of what is most important in life. I hope you are as lucky to have such inspiration as I do.
The idea of wealth depends on what you place value on. This is why you may be the poorest person known to man in dollar terms, but be rich beyond your wildest imagination if you value people and surround yourself with great friends. I am truly rich beyond what I deserve.
