Hall Pass

Brooklyn, NYC - Spring 2011

My past few weeks have been spent with someone of a semblance of "home," living with a good friend in the bay area and spending time with my family. I have cooked, done laundry on a more regular basis, cleaned a bit, done my pushups (albeit, not enough), walked and biked (on my very own bike), watched two movies thoroughly through, spent a fair amount of time on public transportation and of course worked.

My mother sees my grandmother in the second photo from this series.

Today I will bike to a kite festival to picnic, watch and photograph kites - a social affair marked on my calendar about 3 months ago.

Smoo Gloo

Every once in a while a photographer finds an amazingly entertaining use for our work together. Al from Melbourne used our work together to create an ad for one of his many mythical projects. Read on and you'll learn all about "smoo gloo." Never heard of a smoo before? Well, soon you'll figure it out. And no, I don't use this product on a regular basis but I do find it to be rather enjoyable...(perhaps the ad more than the product).

This may not have been accomplished how you think it has been done. A splash of magic is a good component of art.

I like my coffee richened by milk, but with a zing. Best enjoyed while naked on the couch.

Creepy Art

I would classify this as an art nude, and yet I feel a bit unsettled looking at this image.

Did I ever mention how much I like fantastic locations?

Travel Plans 2011

Long Island, NY - June 2011

I've worked out many of the dates for where I will "live" the next few months.

Right now I am on the West Coast. I still have time available in San Francisco (and anywhere Bart takes me) and Sacramento, but my availability is limited.

• San Francisco/San Jose/Sacramento: July 16 - 30
• Oregon/Washington: August 2 - 14

One final swoop of the east coast became necessary - the thought of my previous trip being my last time for so long made me sad. Yes, I like you guys. :)

• North Carolina: August 15 -18
• Virginia: August 19 – 20
• Washington DC: August 21 – 24
• Baltimore: August 25 – 28
• Philadelphia/Allentown/PA: August 29 – 30
• Binghamton: September 1 – 2
• September 3 – 4: undecided
• Boston/New Hampshire: September 5 – 11
• Conneticuit: September 12 – 13
• NYC: September 13 – 22
• DC: September 24 – 26
• Asheville: September 28 – 30

October will be spent returning to Houston with many stops for creating art along the way. I still need to determine the best way to get from Tennessee to Texas as there are several possibilities.

• Atlanta: October 1 – 4
• Tennessee: October 5 – 6
• Austin/San Antonio
• Dallas
• Houston

Do Stuff

When I model, I just do stuff. It makes for interesting art.

Barbershop

Photographed by Sean Bolt

Atlanta, GA - July 2011

The other day I was treated to shooting locations that blew me away. Sean Bolt had been away from the artistic side of his photography business for a while and lined up some amazing locations and ideas to shoot with me when I came to town. The classic barber shop we had to ourselves for an hour of nude shooting just goes to show that sometimes looking into a good location and asking for permission pays off. His request to shoot in two barbershops were declined, but on the third place he approached, he was granted full run of the place while the owners went on lunch break. This was in the heart of the south, too.

Sean had great connections with a wonderful restaurant down the street from the barber shop and his friends graciously allowed us to use the restaurant before it was open. He also invited friends to come to part of the photo session, and I was finally in a photo series where I was the one nude person amongst a group of clothed people. I had long wanted to do this sort of thing.

I am thrilled with the experience and the results.

Verbosity

I used to write much more on my blog and can't decide if it would be better to become more verbally present or just continue on my current trend.

What do you think?
