Middle Class Ophelia - 2007

My friend Tara modeled this during our first shoot in 2004, not knowing this is what I'd eventually conceived. I'm slow, but I get there. Tara disliked how I illustrated her nipples initially, so I let her point them where they now sit.

Pun Shooter - 2009

Just having fun here, but I liked it enough to endure any eye rolling the "shooting" pun might cause. My collaborator, Mitzi, is fun to watch work, often looking to me like a kind of superhero as she contorts herself to various positions to get the angles she wants. Capturing that gives me some of my favorite pictures.

Kissy Face - 2008

Another work I was slow to conceive after shooting. Finally used it for a flyer promoting an 80s fashion show organized by MJG.

The Inky Black Heart of a Pig - 2007

This is one of my first works post cancer. I think my family had reservations for me doing this shirtless and showing myself in an unflattering way, but I didn't know how else to do it. I'm not entirely sure what I am saying about myself here. It just feels right.

Head Dress Shot #7 - 2008

From one of my favorite series I've done. Probably the whole thing needs its own link and page. I'm proud of my work and the model's.

A.M. KNIGHTS (album art) - 2009

Done by request of Bryan Thompson of the band in question. I was too busy to drive to Tampa and shoot him for this cover, so he graciously sent me an image he shot of himself. I like the modern look as well as the slightly campy feel that I'm hard pressed to put my finger on. It kind of just came together on its own as I worked on it.
