Haha! I give myself enough nightmares without the help.

But Ubertramp, the stories are so very colorful!

Maybe I’ll pick some of the more conservative shots for next time. Oh wait, I’m a little short on those…

I’m not sure I’d wanna create stories for these. I’d give myself nightmares.

Can’t wait to see your other work

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Dawn, I concept most of my shoots, especially lately. A lot of the particulars from my early work were “set up neat things and then shoot in the moment”. My recent work has been more about trying to get a single specific shot with more forethought. I think I’ll be sharing a little more on here at some point although most of what I have to share is already on my site, linked above.

Good to be back S&R!

For me it’s the woman in the gas mask. The image is the negation of all things human. She doesn’t have a face or nipples and she wired up to the unseen…

Did you art direct this shot or did the subject bring you the message?

Really nice work. Makes you look!

You just like chicks with knives.

Yeah. The last one is riveting, but the first one is stunning. Tough call for me.

That last one is my favorite.

I love numbers 1, 3, and 5. Excellent work, man.

Switch: you know I’m a big fan. This is why. Fantastic job capturing people who, like a lot of us, wrestle with convention. I’m blown away by the insistence in these shots that we belong.
