Private Moments

Let me explain the title…

We have all been at one time or another become the “subject” or the “interest” of certain people or groups and have had our name dragged if you will thru the mud… ergo apparently I am more exciting than I am led to believe – otherwise why talk about me and my “antics” endlessly.

I am of the opinion that I am a successful photographer; perhaps not in terms of wealth and popularity but in terms of that when I set out to accomplish what is in my mind’s eye I am able to translate that “thought” into photography – that which is my art!

My photography as of late has been of scantily clad women or of figure study and as such attracts not only the oohs and ahhs of admirers but also attracts those who wish to disparage my name and my art!  I think it is obvious that I do take racy, risque, nudes, fine art nudes, erotic, sexy, or every other adjective you’d like to place here!  I don’t ever deny that it’s not what I do.  I think from my photos you will see that!  However, these photos are done with women who are comfortable with the idea and the subject matter and are comfortable with their own bodies!  This project is all about that, that’s not to say that’s all I do because I do still sell stock photography, take on commercial and advertisement projects as well as portraits and editorial work.

That being said, I have photographed women since I can remember, the first time I photographed a woman I was 17 it as in Sacramento and it was called Photo Day.  I fell in love with the idea of photographing women then… I mean duh!  what’s not to like… but since then I have shot and shot and shot…. to date I have photographed over a thousand women maybe more, I’m not keeping count!

I hope that I have as time has gone on improved and that being said, in my humble opinion I have evolved with respect to my style and my sense of continuity.  I also feel that I have also become more technically proficient and have become better with rapport.

Well enjoy and i’ll be back with more figure study and body art… =)… H

After, this was displayed on my flickrstream for a day there were well over a couple hundred views.  I suppose it shouldn’t come as a surprise by now.  I put a beautiful sunset picture, and mind you on Guam we have some BEAUTIFUL, sunsets and the sunset shots gets nary a glance.  Put a half-ass photo of a scantily clad female, not that this is a half-ass photo mind you, and everyone and their sister are on it… “like white on rice…” is that the addage?

So, my book project is still ongoing by the way if anyone is interested.  It’s being self-published, work continues on if not sometimes down to a crawl but moving forward nonetheless.  The content remains the same a lot of the female form.  A number of it is still boudoir material but it’s gotten to where it’s a documentary as before.

But this is the plan still the documentary… it’s to get the subject involvement in the project.  I’ll publish this for now stay tuned for more “stuff.”
