Why Words?

Music | Profile of Jackie by Charles Mingus

Like music, paintings or any other of the arts, I appreciate the work itself with my own interpretations. Sometimes I have none, and would like to have some background on a piece. But there are those images that I am beholden to, just by 1st impressions...

The Art of Woman

Music | Diamante by Blue States

Outside the Box...

Music | Life is Beautiful by A Reminiscent Drive

A bit out of the realm of what I usually shoot for Photo Privé, but I think still fits the spirit of the provocativeness that is Photo Privé.

Anna is a client I admire very much. She is constantly seeking out who she is and yet has a very individual style about her. She's discovered something about herself I think, but keeps moving forward and deeper to find more of who she is by exploring. She hires various photographers and has come up with quite a portfolio of images. She is able to both control and balance out a collaboration with those that she works with to enable some sort of herself to find truth.

North Light Studio II

Music | All Things by The Cinematic Orchestra

My time with North Light Studio II is starting to wind down as the weather and light patterns of the day changes the deeper we move into Autumn and Winter. The outdoor studio served me extremely well this summer, enabling me to put in a lot of work into my Wet Plates, as well as shooting film and digital. Great light is just that... Great to be used with a box camera, paper and pen or canvas and paint.

My time with the studio wanes with every passing day, but will give me much anticipation for next year. Hopefully our summer will start a bit earlier than it did this year.

Here is one of the latest uses of my beloved North Light Studio II...

Desperately Seeking Marilyn...

Music | Violet Walk by Jenny Dalton

Wow, and it wasn't like she was trying... This woman just has a look of Marilyn. I imagine the cottage out on Long Island in autumn...



In fact, this was "Marilyn" at her home on a nice cloudy day with a bit of chill in the air earlier in the year not too far from Seattle. During the session, we decided to take a break on the porch, but the light and mood so befittingly clamored for more photos...

Naughty and Nice...

Music | Bob The Bob by The Lounge Lizards
