tattered. faded. torn. real.

This is a prototype image of a series I'm beginning to explore. Denim will be the common theme. Some will be full figure pieces while others will have an unusually cropped and abstract quality. The use of negative space will be a primary concentration.
Tattered. Faded. Torn. Stained. Real. These are all things I want to celebrate in the images, both for the blue jeans and those folks wearing them. My hope is to display a pure and honest quality.

With this said, I'll need subjects and models. Real people and real jeans. If you and your favorite pair of blue jeans are interested, let me know. cheers.

a walk in my shoes

My new black docs sure had a way of making my office brighter today. I love, love, love my docs. This is my third pair and they really are the shoe for me. I identify with their character and their passion. They're kinda like art for my feet. And that makes wherever I walk a gallery.

a still life of icons

I'm a collector of my path. Not a pack rat, ...a collector.
My shelves are adorned with those things that remind me of where I've been. My haphazardly organized arrangement of art, vintage product packaging, and faded and torn photographs all make me... well, ...me. Without them, I'm much less than I wish to remember.

the right tools

A package greeted me as I arrived home from a long day at the office. Just like any warm greeting, the smile on the side of the box made me smile. Amazon. My new Zuiko 25mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens had arrived.

My camera bag, like my studio, and my kitchen is a great big wonderful toolbox. I dig my tools.
