Infamous Red Flannel

While living on the road, I acquired this red flannel, which is a hallmark in so many of my photos. I purchased it with my partner, John, for a shoot we did in the snow during a Minnesota winter. That was six years ago, and this flannel is very tattered now. Those green pants belonged to my grandmother (most of my favorite clothes were once hers...

Ruins

Here are the last of Dan Leffel's images from a gorgeous trip to New Mexico. On one of the last days, we went to tour these ruins. We didn't have plans to shoot here but, while exploring, the photographers asked if I would consider it. This place was a labyrinth of rooms and windows. The photographers took turns shooting and keeping watch. I wou...

No Stories

I just posted this mini set up, accompanied by literature I wrote as an addendum to Maurice Blanchot's "Madness of the Day."  The images are of Eva Luna in my bedroom. July 2018.

I promised this set for yesterday, but forgot to actually click "schedule!" Sorry about that.

Enjoy. XO.

No Stories

An Addendum to Blanchot's Madness of the Day

Stories? No. No stories. Ever again...

I could become no more diminished before them, who have had me at their disposal; and now they had expectations of me that I could not reach. What they want is my story, yet they fail to realize they are the very characters and ellips...

Eva

Almost exactly two years ago, my dear friend Eva Luna came to visit me in my little home on the Jersey Shore.

We scheduled a boudoir shoot with Anodyne Photo. While on a break, I snapped these images of Eva through the window of my bedroom door.

Streamside

Summer finally seems to have broken, making me nostalgic for these moments in June seven years ago. I had just graduated from SUNY New Paltz, and had moved to Long Island with my college sweetheart. We lived way out east on the island. The coastal landscape reminded me very much of home, but the hideous traffic and suburban snobbery drove me nea...

Full Moon in New Mexico

More from a very dreamy trip to the desert with Leffel & Johnsson.

The landscape was just as surreal as it appears. 

Would you be interested in seeing these in color?

Desert Drama

These images were made during a trip to New Mexico with Dan Leffel & Inge Johnsson. I have posed for them in many stunning landscapes all over the U.S. This was a fun week spent driving and hiking many miles all over New Mexico, shooting in some of the most surreal locations I've ever seen. Some cold mornings and hot afternoons, but definite...

More Sketch Work

Here are some more sketches by my good friend Kat, done during my Sunday sessions.

Tomorrow I will get back to posting good ole' fashion photos, thanks for being patient.

This was a busy week for news writing. Section 2, which is dedicated to arts/music/entertainment, just opened up for the season. Section 2 is my beat, and my mentor...

Sunday Evenings

I've been posing live on Zoom every Sunday evening, and it has been very rewarding to be able to offer this service not only to my favorite artists in my own community, but to people all over the country. Here are some sketches from last week's session by my dear friend, Kat Tobin. More to come. XO.

Throwback to a Sunny Spring Day

Here is a throwback to 4-5 years ago when I first met and worked with 'Celina Bobina.' We had arranged to shoot on the Gulf Coast with Photosensualis, so we met somewhere in Northern Florida and caravanned several hours west to a charming, desolate beach town. The two of us were rock climbing vagabonds living out of our trucks at the time, so we...

Corona Self Portraits

Fragment

Why should I ever think to touch

What pleases me to know?

Irony never thinks to blush.

How many seas in stow

Beyond virtual surface

Wanton or worthless

Could you be anointed?

Might it be disappointment ?

You fear these fingers have never tasted

Perfect electric...

Happy May! I hope you are all staying healthy and sane.

Thank you for your continued support, even through these very unsettling times.

I made these self portraits in early March, in anticipation of the events to come. Unfortunately,   within days we had hundreds of reported cases. My co...
