Still keeping myself out of most commercial projects, but always up for some TF* trade stuff.
Current hot project is a series of people shot as if they were posing for a Rolling Stone cover shoot, touching on the idea of celebrity and how little work goes into presenting otherwise normal people as something larger than life, and how easily that perception can be manipulated. If you feel like rocking out, let me know, I'm game. All I need is ten-twenty minutes of your time and a blank wall. Not a paird series, but later this fall when I get to printing these I'll get you your own very own numbered 11x14 matted print for your time. See all of the current batch here:

Also still going: I am working on a volunteer-only series of mostly nudes with a big plaster mask and a picture frame and a teacup as part of an exploration of how the use of nonsense and repetition will become viewed by the general public as an artistic statement without ever having to justify itself. Anyone of any age, build, gender, color, whatever wishing to participate should contact me, I'd be glad to shoot you. See my pics for a few reference shots, or check out the URL below for the current ongoing edit:

Revival locations I would still like to do:
• At a pool
• On a swing
• In a car (either 'driving', or backseat. Heck. Both.)
• In a parking lot
• In a lighting studio
• In a plain white room
I would also like very much to get some non-Caucasians involved in the mix. The current ethnicity representation is a matter of circumstance and not a conscious choice, if you'd like to help me mix it up I'd love to hear from you.
