Shooting in Austin
Today I posed for Larry, a photographer whom I met at the Holz/Weston workshop several weeks ago.
We had a pleasantly quiet afternoon of soft portraits, followed (unexpectedly) by 3 hours of intense and fulfilling conversation, covering everything philosophical, political, ethical, spiritual.
It isn't often one meets another, especial...

Here's a little behind the scenes bit of Nymph and I posing for George Holz at Holz Farm in Phoenicia.
It will be a little while before I can post about that weekend on the blog, so until that feature, I will drip some bits and pieces on here.
I hope you're enjoying the last light of summer. I'm off to tour Austin, and then to Maui. When I ...

First stop, Austin, touring Sep 1-6
Destination, Maui.
Adventure time.
Eclipse; A Fragment
Morning yawning
Through stormy dawns.
Beneath shoreline awnings.
Wide with lassitude.
Lengthy latitude.
Whispering somnolent suggestions
Through the blinds
At my bedside.
Steady-eyed
Suggestions that contrast themselves
Against the far wall.
Against the vanity.
Caresse...

Just a quick note to acknowledge a chapter of transition and overcoming; So appropriately symbolized by the interruption of light by the moon on her passive, but determined, travel.

What, of drowning
In a sea of overwhelm
What, of burning
The flesh of my knees
Red with rash
If I believe hard enough
Can I breathe this water?
I graze my toes
Against the sand
Touching the sharp edges
Of the hollowed homes
Of mollusks,
Chips on their shoulders,
But nothing left inside.
What, of vac...

Finally back on the grind & in the web.
Thank you for bearing with me through this deeply stressful time.
By now, the majority of you should have received your packages.
I hope that it made up for my sparseness this month.
Enjoy today's post. More going up this evening.

I intended to share an image of myself today, to document my recovery. Then I decided I only want to share my best self with you.
My recovery has been rough... I will start to feel tremendously better, but then as soon as I attempt moving at my average pace, this infection strikes back with a vengeance. I woke up this morning in pretty subst...

About a week ago, I acknowledged my absence on Patreon this month. I've had a lot going on in my personal life, but that is no excuse not to deliver my best.
To make up for my inactivity on the blog this month, I've put together some sweet packages for my 5+ patrons. The package will contain content relative to your pledge. They will ship ou...
Apology
I am holding myself accountable for having neglected this feed for almost two weeks.
I came off a condensed tour into what has proven to be a much larger undertaking than I imagined.

This is one snapshot of a storm that passed over us at the Barnegat Docks while we waited for the fireworks at sunset.
Moments like this remind me to breathe and cherish the experience of being overwhelmed in spite of fear.
Change is imminent and the anticipation can be debilitating-- or it can be a catalyst.

Here is Sheila Metzner's wonderful presentation. It was taken with my phone, and it's sometimes difficult to hear her over her jewelry clacking together (though, I think that tactile quality adds to the charm of who she is).
I don't want to take too much advantage of my very special opportunity to see this presentation, therefore I am o...

The primal gaze
Amidst we creatures
Has been adulterated
By an obsession with objects
Excess and arbitrary
Abstraction of boundaries
Surveyors
Purveyors
Aggressors
Unto possessions,
Stuck fast, to plum lines
In cyclical narrative
"Private property."
With teeth exposed and gleaming
Wild pray for the under...
