So Alicia is pregnant, congratulations to her and her boyfriend. We’re going to be doing a few shoots throughout her pregnancy, these are some from our first shoot when she was about 5 months along. I really love the shadows on this one.
Naked on the Capitol steps
I’ve shot nudes outside before. Some of the first pictures I ever took way back in 2004 were outdoor nudes in the Northwoods. I’ve done topless shoots on the beaches of Lake Mendota on more than one occasion. Last year I even shot some full nudes in Elver park right here in Madison. But I’ve… Continue reading Naked on the Capitol steps
Angela and Jeff
I shot Angela back in February. She wanted some pictures with her boyfriend Jeff so last month we went downtown and did some shots.
What makes a good teacher?
When I lost my job earlier this year I thought about going back to school to become a teacher. I don’t have any formal education training, but anytime I did any teaching or training at work I enjoyed it. And I’ve had a few people comment over the years that I’m pretty good at it.… Continue reading What makes a good teacher?
Death
So two weeks ago I was thinking about death a lot. I don’t really know why. I wasn’t thinking about my death, or any death really, just kind of death was in my head. It started with and episode of COPS. I don’t remember what it was about but it got me thinking about handcuffs. … Continue reading Death

It reminded me of something I’ve been thinking about for the last few days. On Monday I dropped off the three framed pictures at Cafe Montemarte. (see my… Continue reading Who should you compare yourself too?
Now I am an artist
So for the last few weeks I’ve been seeing a post on Craigslist about an art show at Cafe Montemarte. The theme is 7 Deadly Sins. So first I looked up what the seven sins actually were, and then tried to find some of my photos that illustrated them. I didn’t think that any of… Continue reading Now I am an artist

Tamara
So, in November I put a casting call out for a lingerie shoot. I’ve written about it below in the post about Nicollette, how I want to put a photo up on the first wall you see when you enter my apartment. Tamara said she’d do it on the first day I put up my… Continue reading Tamara
Sometimes it’s really easy to tell the difference between Pro and Consumer equipment
Like today for example. Today I did a shoot with Angela and Jeff. It was the first time I used my 70-210mm lens. I’ve had this lens for a few years, and I’ve done a few test shots with it, but never actually used it. I forgot I had it for a while and just… Continue reading Sometimes it’s really easy to tell the difference between Pro and Consumer equipment
