I have much to say about this trip, but I still need time to download and process it all. It was such a joy to get away from he city and spend time in the middle of nowhere with a new friend, a bunch of cameras and being engulfed by nature. More words to come when I can turn my thoughts into cognizant sentences.
These are the first looks a few few 120 shots that I took while in...

A resurrection.
Years and years ago, what feels like an eternity. My friend Derek and I started The Battle Of The Butt Photo. Some of you whom have been here for awhile will remember, but if you have not, a short story for you.
Derek and I were always taking butt photos, specifically him of his wife and myself of Reed. One day when Derek and I were texting back...

A continuation of some time with Reed in front of my cameras.
Reed was in town for quite some time, so we were able to get together once again and blast through some more film. She brought out all of her beautiful 35mm and medium format cameras for us to play with and I brought mine too. Developing these rolls very soon and will be sharing as soon as they get scanned! For now, ...

Ahh, a shoot outside of the studio. Just what the doctor ordered.
Meredith and I got together the other day for a shoot on Corona Del Mar at a beautiful ocean facing property complete with a pool, a stunning backyard and a killer view. Meredith and I shot a hell of a lot of film and I even got to try the blue and green DuoChrome for the first time! The story shall come with the...

Oh yes, you read that title right.
Yesterday Reed and I got together for a full day of photo fun. We started the day off early with a walk for the dogs at 6 A.M. before heading out to one of our old favorite beaches. It has been some time since my last trip to 'A Quiet Little Beach In Malibu', and even longer since I had been there with Reed. Almost five years now.

One of my favorites to create with, always open to any sort of shoot. This was in the same day we shot the last look that released with Ariel. She said she wanted to snap a couple flash photos of her in this Playboy tank top, which I was not opposed to. Although now, I kind of have a sour taste in my mouth about Playboy given their social media practices of crediting photographers. That is here...

Jessica and I were so focused on shooting film this day, that we both completely forgot that we had taken some digitals as well! I was going through all of my cards and making sure they were cleared of all content and formatted before an event and I stumbled upon these. Yes, I know I could be better at dumping the images onto my hard drives right away. However, sometimes I forget because I am a...

It has been some time since Anna and I have shot with one another. Over the weekend we set up plans for Monday to get together, shoot for a little bit and eat a home cooked meal. It was a joy to be able to work with Anna again and it was so casual and perfect. Enjoy!
These were shot on Polaroid 600 Type B&W film with a Polaroid SLR680, Polaroid 600 Type Color film with a Polaroid SLR6...

One of my favorite sets of images as of late, of course with Ariel. She always saves her best ideas for shooting with me which is so humbling and exciting. One day she told me that she wanted to channel the Megan Fox ‘wet’ look. She came prepared with a white shirt, some silicone lube and some black bottoms. Nice and simple, just the way I like it.
The way these turned out ...

I have been patiently waiting for the desktop version of the new Patreon layout to work, but it continues to be a pain. Hopefully by tomorrow all is right as rain and I can queue a few posts to release before the end of the month. If not, I will just have to create them from my phone like this one.
Are any of you having issues accessing the website or the app?

Last week Ariel came over last minute for a quick few look shoot. She had just got passed her COVID sickness, tested negative and felt much better. She told me that she needed to create something to feel better mentally and I responded with "Sign me up!"
This is a quick little preview of the full set to come. Enjoy!

I rather fancy all of these exposures shot yesterday. Ariel texted me over the weekend asking to shoot and we just so happened to both have Monday off. Since neither of us were going to celebrate America in its current state, we got together late morning and shot a few different looks that will come here soon.
Ariel is one of those ladies that I will always love to have in fron...

When I said a little bit of red, I actually meant a lot.
Brit and I shot these back in February a little after the craze of the new 'Scream' movie. I saw her post this exact outfit on her page and was fascinated by it. I asked her if we could shoot a little something with this and she obliged. One afternoon she drove down from the High Desert and we knocked out the look fairly ...

A lost roll, found.
I shot this roll of Ilford awhile ago and just recently found it hiding under some other camera things. This was the first roll that I had ever shot through my Argus Argoflex and I can say that I will be using it far more in the coming future. I love the 6:6 crop and the imperfections along the edges of the negative. This is probably my favorite exposure off...

I just got a few rolls developed from recent shoots and along with those rolls was the first roll shot through my newest addition to the camera collection, a Nikon S2. I still have to scan through most of the roll and adjust the tone curves, but here's a little sneak peak!

A few new Polaroid scans for you all. Nothing too crazy to report from these. Just an afternoon with a dear friend and a couple dogs. Ariel and I got together for an afternoon around Orange County, a stroll around an outdoor shopping center and a delicious meal. Of course, our fur babies came along for the ride. When we got back to Ariel's house we stepped into her back yard for a couple quick ...

As much as I want to shoot outside of my studio more and more, I find myself getting drawn back in with a really good portrait session. This day was no different. Karlee and I were able to snap so many good shots it was hard to narrow them down.
Granted, I am quite a technical shooter and I like to take my time. Karlee's personality did not necessarily aline with that. She is v...

As you may know, I always love getting together with a new face and snapping some photos. Ally was the first new face I have shot in some time, but it was well overdue. We shot for 'Jeans', a series I have not touched in a little while due to the amount of effort it takes into editing the images. Even though they're so simple, making sure they're all one in the same is the challenge.
...
Sometimes I give my Lightroom a scroll through the two-hundred thousand images in the current catalog and see what I find. Tonight, I found this from years back and decided to give it a fresh edit. Enjoy!

Meredith and I shot these images right before she started her 'Exclusively Me' tier on her Patreon and I feel as if we shot it just a couple weeks later, we would have included some vastly different shots and poses. However, I love them nonetheless.
Meredith and I had always shot during the day with natural light, so we decided to change it up. An evening shoot complete with se...

Lua nd I have made it a point to get together more than once every year and I would say that we are quite on a roll with it. Now, that does not mean that we will be able to get together too often, but between yesterday and February is much better than two days shy of a year from our previous record.
I took yesterday off from work last minute so that Lu and I could get together ...

You know, I don't think there is one thing that Meredith is not great at. Business manager, entrepreneur, photography, creator; the list goes on. One thing that she is also great at is giving one hell of a sultry look. During our shoot a little while back, she broke out all of the outfits she had brought with her and we picked out our favorite ones. The next thing to pick out was what we were g...
