Since I've been a little obsessive about dirt and fertility...
This is probably about as explicit as my work will ever get, and only on extremely rare occasions. This image was taken four years ago by Photosensualis, whom I trust most deeply.
This photo will probably never go public. But I love it.
I think it is incredibly beautiful, ...

This note intends to be a fragment
Broken fragment it will stay.
Impotent and stagnant
Imminent and decadent;
Pregnant with decay.
Kneel and pray
Steal and stray
We fallen fruit
We follow suit.

It typically happens that the one day I've dedicated to stocking the Tumblr full of content, the site malfunctions and will not load.
Hopefully it will be up and running by tomorrow morning. But in the mean time, here is an image I took of Sekaa at the Desert Adventure, in Moab, Utah, just this spring. You are the first to witness!

Just dropping a line to let you know I'm still here.

For now, here's my current status;

Why do we create? We, as artists, traverse the edge. We cannot touch the unknown. We do not pretend to understand it. But we can feel it. We reach our arms wide, like antennae, into dark fields of static. We channel this energy through the medium of being, and dipping our voltaic fingers back into the sea of profanity, charge currents into the atmo...

Smells like smoke.
The time has come
To run.
to run.
to run.
Tastes like tears.
Swell hot and numb.
They run.
And run.
and run.
D'you know the way to "kingdom come?"
Perched on the edge of profanity.
Talk yourself down,
Back into sanity.
Back into vanity

Another preview from the other day.
I posed with another Greek woman today, named Eyvenia Karapolous. We have rhyming last names.
She is a doll.

This was an exploration that turned into an impromptu shoot with Patrick Haines (Animal Magik). As usual, I am monkeying around.
In case you're wondering, I am aware that my arm appears as long as my entire body, and it doesn't bother me. I have always had lanky limbs, and the exaggeration can be fun.
Will have full features on Tumblr t...

Here's a peek at what Patrick Haines (Animal Magik Photography) shot of me this morning in Maui. We covered a lot of ground (and water) and made only a few fine art nude photographs. However, every single moment was worth it, and every single image is gold. I am very grateful to have had this experience.
More to feature soon.

A quiet inward turn following the fury of a tempest.
This image, surfacing for the first time, was taken the morning after Hurricane Hermine ripped through Florida last year. It is from the same series of photographs that are presented with my resurrected poem, Tempest Overcome.

Sorry for my silence the last few days.
I've been in Hawaii with a good photographer friend, Patrick; Animal Magik Photography.
Here's a peek at what we've been up to.
I have barely been online at all. I have an overwhelming number of photographs, but have not spent any time sifting through and editing.
We have been up and out...
As you might recall from prior posts, I have been working on some writing in regards to the notion of 'home.'
This has proven, for various reasons, to be a bit challenging, and I am choosing to take my time and let it come easy rather than forced, especially given the nature of the segment.
In the last 2-3 years, my life started to ta...
