INTIMATE LIGHT

Last weekend a friend stayed over night. We had fun catching up on the past almost 2 years since we last hung out. Watching Clockwork Orange, a few bottles of red wine...it was a soothing and sensual atmosphere. This mood carried on into the next morning; the light was pounding in like a ram, powerfully through the windows which open to the West. Lighting was perfect, allowing for truly intimate images which are recorded here on 35mm film.

Bennie without his "Jet", in Los Angeles last weekend

Yes I can be corny with my humor at times. Here are a few pics of Benn from my trip to LA last weekend. It was a fun time, got to know each other and actually had my first palm reading...from the guy in front of my lens.

Another photo from my archive.

This is Dusten in the Southern California desert.

One of my favorite Models...image from my archive!

Zak Attack!

Well, last weekend was a blast! I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Zak in West Hollywood. His home most likely pre-dates the 40's. It made for a comfortable
and beautiful location to shoot b & w film. Yes, I've still got some Kodak Tri-X 400. Hopefully it will be around awhile. Zak has a lovely personality is really fun
to have in front of my camera...his workouts have obviously paid off...the abs
are rock'n! We also walked around the City, finding cool spots to snap some pics.
It's Super Bowl Sunday, woot woot!!!

Have fun!

Natural in front of the camera

Thought I'd start the year with a color image of Keith. This is from a fairly
recent photo shoot. Keith has really grown creatively in front of my camera; starting with the skateboard photography and filming when he was still in School. He's
a passionate, hard working young man and a good friend. Happy New Year everyone!

In the beginning was...

Here are a few of my earliest images. The one in the loin cloth is
among the five sent to Donatella Versace back in 1998. My photo essay
started in 96...I was very ambitious, showing my photography to
anyone and everyone at that time. Of all the Celebrities I mailed sample photos
to, she's the only one that responded. I thought it was amazingly
kind of her, especially since it'd only been four months since her
brother Gianni was murdered. Some day I would like to photograph
for her. As the new year approaches and I hope it's a good one, enjoy
these images...they are some of my favorites. The landscape here in
southern California is so inviting for natural art.
All the best,

Terry
