My Bio
I've been a lot of places, and have done a lot of things...

Most recently, I retired as a paramedic after the doc said my warranty had expired, and he was running out of spare parts to keep fixing me.

I now run what amounts to a year-round summer camp for dogs, and pursue my love of art.

I've done shows, been published and sell the few prints I produce, but I really don't try to do anything with my work. I enjoy the luxury of not having to make a living with my camera. I get to decide what and how I shoot.

Current Residence: The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Favourite photographer: Jaime Ibarra
Operating System: Mac
Personal Quote: Dum spiro spero.

...but I just can't seem to bring myself to create new work.  The loss of Amber, friend and model, has left an empty place in my soul that I haven't been able to channel into my work...yet. Don't forget about me.  I'll be back.

Amber, my dear friend and beautiful model, was in a car accident today while on her way to see me. She didn't survive. Not only did she make me a better artist, but a better human being as well.  Her beauty, intelligence, sense of humor, compassion and kindness made the world a better place. Her passing leaves an an emptiness in my heart, and in my life, that I will try to fill as best I can with many memories of her. Save me a place where you are, Amber.  I'll do my best to earn it. Au revoire. :thumb245377672:    :thumb207393862:    :thumb202767932:    :thumb202139498: :thumb271796987:  :thumb204459525:  :thumb201022584:

I hate when people do this, but I'm gonna do it myself.  Yes, I'm a hypocrite. Jilly, a model with whom I frequently work, is trying really hard to give her modeling a boost by competing in the Maxim Gamer Girl contest.  She's a true geek (though a very fetching one) and both she and I would appreciate it if you'd make a couple of clicks on her behalf. Standard click to vote thing.  You can (and I hope you will) vote every day. If you do this, I'll happily return the favor.  Just send me a message with a link, and I'll take care of it. Anyway, here's the link:   http://maximgamergirl.com/jillianr Thank you.

Sorry for the flood of :+fav:s  I could have sworn I was watching you years ago.

I'm very sorry for your loss.  Good to see you're back in the saddle again.
Thanks for the favs good sir! :D

Thinking of you... Been a year since we started chatting :) I hope that you are doing well and feeling back to yourself.
Amazing photos! May I ask for permission to share some of your works on my blog [link]

I understand that I already posted some of them before I saw the message on one of the images to ask for permissions. If you say no, I will remove them from my site
