Joy

My muse, the exceedingly sexy Donovan, who brings me much joy.

Self Portrait with Larry's illustration, July 2014

I have an online crush on writer/singer/illustrator Larry Duplechan, author of the groundbreaking novel Blackbird (recently made into a film directed by Patrick Ian Polk) and other wonderful books. Last spring, I sent him a photo of myself, and he asked if he could do an illustration of it. I enthusiastically agreed and sent him a high-resolution version of the photograph.

Just this week, a print of Larry's illustration of me arrived in my mailbox. I am thrilled. Now, Larry owes me a photoshoot. :)

New model, Donovan, sheds a recent AA purchase.

Proud Pose

At the 2014 LGBTQ Pride Festival in Seattle, one had the opportunity to pose for photos with these fine gentlemen at the Under U 4 Men booth. I shot about 180 photos of boys and girls doing just that. More Pride pictures to come in the days ahead.

Exploring Portlandia

Recently, I traveled to Portland, Oregon, to once again photograph the World Naked Bike Ride, as well as shoot some models and even pose for a photographer myself. I will put WNBR shots in another post. Unfortunately, the other photoshoot plans didn't pan out (yet). But here's some of my shots while just walking around and exploring this wonderful city.
