Stress.
Yes, I am a weirdo. I don't share selfies with most, but when I do, they are most likely weird. At any rate, here is a true look at one of my real-world nervous ticks.
Not-so-fun fact: When stressed, I unconsciously clench my jaw and gna...

The last of my images of Eva while she stayed here in June.
I promise that they are much more pleasant than the Burroughs story.
The series is up on Tumblr for $5+
I am working on some exclusive content for $25+ patrons, so stay tuned.

Good morning.
I hope all of you are enjoying your October. Here, on the Jersey Shore, we are being blessed with 80 degrees and sunshine, after having had two months of non-stop rain. Thanks, mama nature.
Firstly, I'd like to ask you all to keep Photosensualis in your thoughts. What could be the largest storm ...

Up on Tumblr (password in Oct 2 post) are some behind the scenes shots I took of Eva, while we worked at Mont Vert Studio, in the Berkshires.
The above image was taken by Photosensualis during the same tour.
Enjoy.

"Can I be cleansed of my distractions
Will I be, by this water, received?
Can the lens of karmic transactions
Be still,
Be still of mindless totter and relieved?
So please,
Take me to the river
Bathe my body in the stream
Have I got a fever
Or am I lost,
Am I lost in a dream?"

I come to this esteemed place
I offer myself to the stones
Bending against photons with grace
My body,
My body and its bones.
So take me to the river

Home Sweet Home.
Hi everyone.
I finally returned home after a very long tour. I wish every human on the planet could have seen my grandfather's face when I peeped into his room and he caught a look at me in the mirror. He did not expect me, and his jubilant laughter was absolutely heart wrenching, in all the right ways.
I will be taking an ...

Just want to let you all know that the Tumblr accounts have been updated for several days.
I am approaching the end of my tour, and will be shooting along the Pacific NW coast for the next several days with my favorite, Photosensualis!
I wanted to wait until I had the accompanying images, but since most California cafes do not b...

Hi.
Writing from Minneapolis, MN, to express my gratitude to those of you who kept with me into September. As most of you know, this has been an incredibly trying time in my life. Your support has really helped to keep me creating while I spend the majority of my time caring for my Grandfather.
Up on Tumblr is a different kind of 'behind th...

Greetings from Oregon
Hi!
I am currently on assignment in Oregon.
Each day this week, we have spent most of the daylight hours working in the landscape.
This rugged, mountainous sea-scape is absolutely enchanting, and my experience here is totally worth enduring some pretty cold and damp mornings... especially given that I am working with two of my favorit...

Just want to preface this by acknowledging you all, and expressing my deepest appreciation for your support.
This has been a very challenging summer, as most of my time in between my local gigs (especially in recent weeks) has been spent jumping through bureaucratic hoops with insurance companies, battling with the social worker and administrator...

Bones
Like an updraft

It grows
A scarlet sash
The weight of having stowed
Having known.
The sacred stash
Relentless undertow
Caught in the flow
Feverish rash

Shooting Me, Shooting You
A rare portrait of Michael (Photosensualis) at work, as he shoots Eva & I, whilst I photograph him with my iPhone.
Low Lows
The full feature is (finally) up on Tumblr.
A little bit on my process, and what is going on:
I began this poem while on the road.
When I thought I was ready to share it, our country experienced significant trauma due to multiple notable suicides. I did not (and do not) want to capitalize, in any way, on that tra...

Hello friends.
I am not even going to get into the thick of my personal life at the moment, but will just tell you that I have had some demanding obligations.
Rather than bog you down with the negative, I'm just going to let you know that I am appreciating every second with my grandfather, despite how taxing my situation has been to my pati...

I used to be fascinated.
By tiny doors.
Metaphorical portals
Of possibility.
Child size entryways
To infinite,
Potent worlds
Some days
I am hypersensitive
To every vibration.
Glutted through and through
In the texture and aroma
The taste and song
The heavy throngs...

Up on the Tumblr feed, some dramatic light figure/portraiture study by Valentino Scaramella.
Some raw, rough-around-the-edges poetry to be featured tomorrow.
I've had my hands full with some personal/family matters. My mother and sisters have needed a lot of support and attention from me lately, so I apologize for not giving more thorough u...
