It’s been awhile since I’ve posted last. Paid work has kept me busy, and I can’t post those photos. Discovering spirituality has taken a lot of my time as well. No regrets on either end, but I do miss shooting for myself on a more consistent basis.

This shot is of Misti Dawn. It won’t garner loads of views because her vagina isn’t on display, although curiously it is within the full set of images available on my paysite. Frankly, I can do without shooting the harder stuff. I tend to linger at the beginning of a set with the model fully clothed because more often than not, I find my subjects to be more sexual with their clothing on. Even the most seasoned porn star doesn’t let her guard down completely while nude. It’s a very vulnerable place to be. So i enjoy shots like the one above because there’s a vulnerability that’s difficult to capture otherwise.

This shot was taken with my new DSLR. For those just tuning in, I’ve been shooting professionally for the last 6 years with a fixed lens camera. I haven’t abandoned my punk ethic though. The DSLR was purchased for only $100 more than my fixed lens camera … a whopping $550. I bought an old AF 50mm 1.7 Minolta lens from a guy off craigslist who sorta weirded me out. We met in a Del Taco parking lot. I’m pretty sure he hadn’t showered in awhile. He pulled up in a Honda touring motorcycle. He asked me if I was interested in anything else, 135mm? sony? canon? minolta? “I’ve got it all!” he proclaimed. At that point I wasn’t entirely sure i wasn’t buying a lens full of drugs. Anyhow, after disinfecting the lens, I put it on my camera and for the first time I really got to know depth of field. DOF is my newest crush.
