the dailypic 4128 yr12 110 Exercise Barbie

by Leave a Comment

My wife Barbara has been asking to be in my Gaslight Project for a while. The photo series of women, strength, and my gas mask during COVID. Where many of us have been collecting the COVID 19lbs (or maybe I am speaking for myself) she has been using the time to head in the other direction. Peloton, water aerobics, yoga, randomly jogging in place while watching TV – as she is right now as I type this – she has spent COVID working out. She has even inspired me to get on on the Peloton bandwagon, I have a long way to go to catch up to her drive though.

So this is her entry, she directed the session, this was her vision for the photo. Shared at her request, here is Exercise Barbie, part of my Gaslight Project. Fierce and strong.

the dailypic 4031 yr12 013 The Gaslight Bride

by 1 Comment

The third contribution to my ode to 2020, my Gas Lighting Series. This time: The Bride. In a year where weddings changed, moved, downsized, and in some cases disappeared, it seemed fitting that a Bride be part of the Gas Lighting Series. Now, not just any bride, my last scheduled bride of 2020 from two days before. This is Sam; on Saturday (Sunday’s dailypic) she looked gorgeous as she married Tim. Check out some of their photos if you want here. A quick text the next day after an epiphany while I was driving, and she agreed to bring the dress and bouquet out for another session, this time at my studio in the midst of some fog machine work. Minutes later she was part of the project. Still looking for models for this series. The others have been more risque, but they seem to take on their own personality. You can see more about the project here. Thank you to Sam for your willingness to take the direction of this project needed, I added another photo from Saturday to show how the beautiful the dress and bride really were.

by 3 Comments

Some photo projects I take for clients, some I take for me, I have started a new one and this one is for the year. My ode to 2020, my Gas Lighting Series.

My vintage WWII Gas Mask that has been kicking around my studio for years looking for a reason to get in front of the camera, my ability to sculpt with light (one of my favorite things to do), a fog machine and (so far only a couple of) patient yet brave subjects.

The idea has been in the plans since March, a closed studio and social distancing made it feel like I had to wait a bit. I have a few more interested women I have been talking to, now that things are relaxing somewhat (though the sessions are still COVID responsible) I hope to ramp this series up. I am not sure what will happen with it, so far it just has been a fun distraction while paying respect to the time we are living in. Collaborating with my subjects they have gotten a bit more risque – talking PG13ish – than my toy photos, but I believe they are artistic and the goal is to show strength, grit, softness and 2020.

Here are two from a session I did last night, I would love to get to at least 20, since it is a magical number now, though recruiting is not my style. If you or maybe you know someone you know, would like to know more info on this , drop me a note. The session is no cost and like I said a pure collaboration. You can reach me here, just put Gas Mask in the message somewhere. Stay safe.

CONTACT NOTE: I found out the original contact was not working the first night this was posted. If by chance you reached out and did not hear back, feel free to use the link to send a second message, it is fixed now.

Before we took the trip I was watching some documentaries on the area, one was on the Geothermal activity and how they harness it and heat everything they can. It was incredible. Well today we stopped in that area. Námafjall Hverir is full of steaming vents and boiling mud pools that really make some alien colors. The smell is less than pleasant, but you get used to it, and the view makes up for it. You forget you are on earth, the best fact of the day, this is not even the most alien looking place we saw today. Safe to say we were on 4 different planets during our drive, it is insane. More from Námafjall Hverir.

The Dance
August 19, 2013

I have an app on my ipad full of notes, sketches actually of shots with notes I want to take.  One of the first ones I put in was the smoke shot. Ingredients: incense sticks, light source triggered remotely from the right, black back drop. I used a macro lens, my lensbaby and a color filter for some of them. The problem was picking a shot to be the dailypic.  They all seem like light dancing and I see faces on each one – I am sure psychiatrist would have a field day with that… so keep that part to yourself. Below are my favorites, but if you want to see them all click here.
