The picture above tells a great story:
Jan and Clay met on Match.com. He is an investment banker who was born and grew up under the care of nannies in Manhattan. and she's a dental hygienist, who has four sisters and three brothers from Lynchburg, VA. On their first date he took her to a restaurant that serves portions so small that she had to order Chinese after he kissed her good night on the cheek. On their second date they went to see Avatar on opening night in IMAX 3D. Only the most well connected people to get in. She loved it because she has absolutely adored James Cameron movies from the time she sat Titanic at 13. He managd to kiss her good night on the lips on the second date. This is their third date and she asked him over to cook for him. She's making her grandmother's special marinara sauce, and this is the firs time he has stepped into her personal space uninvited, testing the waters so to speak, in order to guage how the rest of the night will go....


Which image in your portfolio tells a story, I want to write it for you.

I should add that I am a screenwriter, so I tend to think in terms of stories that would make good movies (or at least marketable ones.)

I never have taken time to learn the BBcode for linking an image.  How about "The Veil" the two-shot, couple shot in my port?  Thank You.

Her name is Clara, and she came to southern Cali to take a stab at acting.  For several months she went on auditions and worked in a law firm.  However the firm went out of business and due to the economy she was unable to find a job.  Aster three months od searching she was evicted from hare apartment behind The Hollywood Bowl, and is not pondering her next move in an abandoned building.  She will probably do the right thing an move back to Ohio.

Amy goes to Catholic school - odiously.  She hates it like most of us did, the dress codes are the worst.  On the way home she ducks into an ally way to change into her jeans.  At that precise moment she turns to see one of the boys whom she has a crush on watching her.

Her name is Milagro, the youngest of 8 kids raised in the mountains in the Yucatan peninsula.  Being the youngest of 8 it is her responsibility to take care of her ageing mother.  All of here brothers and sisters have moved away.  Once in a while she likes to put on her fancy dress and stand outside and let the wind blow over her.

This is Bella, She's from the Upper West Side and she just inherited a run down bed and breakfast in a poor parish in Louisiana. She figures that she can make a go of it and bring a little big city culture to Cajun country.

This is from the classic film titled "Hell in Paradise."  A plane has crashed on a desert Island and no one knows where they are.  At this particular moment the young girl from St Paul, MN, is hiding from from a tribe of cannibals who will shortly be routed by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This is Tatiana from the city of Ivonova, Russia, once known for their fine furniture and textiles.  However after "The Transition" and an 85% unemployment rate, she is forced to trade her grandmother's furniture for food.  This chair was believed to be from the Romonov's servant's quarters at their summer estate in Ivonava.

This is Paula, and Paula has suspected that her significant other David has been "working late."  After watching the episode of Oprah on cheating she has decided to hire one of the ladies who tests men at bars to see if they can be picked up.  He failed miserably.  This is the first thing that David sees upon arriving home that night.

Thanks a lot, did you speak with this model without me knowing? It's what we intended to depict here: the wife questioning the conduct of her man.

This is Alex.  This was taken shortly her her second KO.  We know that it was a KO because she looks fresh, and ready to go a few more rounds.

Side note She reminds me of Rebecca Neuenswander from "Rigged", whom is being courted to take the lead in a film I just wrote.

I like this one better:

She lost this fight:

I'm better with editorial shots, but I really like this one.  I appreciate the form and sense of freedom of this one, but I'm drawing a blank on a story line.
