Oregon Art Nudes Dot Com?

 

So I’m working on building the site for Oregon Art Nudes.  I decided to put together a more extensive gallery and storefront and it’s underway.  We’ll see how long it will take…  I am NOT a web designer.  Getting help from friends where I can.

Influenced by my mood.

 

I must say I’ve found myself in a bad mood lately.  Just tired I guess.  Too much on my plate.  The little everyday things that would normally just be minor annoyances are really getting to me.  I think the cure is simply a vacation, but too short handed for the time being.  Can’t take any time off for a while. That leaves me a little bit pissed off, but that’s just the way things go. So, don’t be surprised if the next couple of shoots take a bit of a darker path. 

Here’s an old fave that I was happy with at the time, and even happier after pulling it out of the archives and reprocessing the raw file with lightroom.

Angel Smoke

 

 

I am a hookah
The water through which you pass
Angel smoke, angel smoke
I am a hookah
The water through which you pass
Danger smoke
Danger
I ride by flying horses
Nothing to declare
But cold knees, cold knees
I ride by flying horses
Nothing to declare
But cold knees
Cold
Delicate men, delicate men
You can be such fools (?) in my heart
He whispered to me
'I am the digger of eyes
Let me in, let me in'
Whispered to me
'I am the digger of eyes
Let me in, let me in'
Delicate men, delicate men
You can be such fools(?)
Delicate men, delicate men
You can be such fools (?) in my heart

Funbags?

 

So yesterday at work my boss came by to pick up some inventory that I was sending to one of our satellite locations.  I hadn’t paid much attention but someone had left a pillowcase with something in it outside my warehouse door, underneath the stairwell that leads to the roof.  My warehouse is in a fairly sketchy neighborhood, and I figured the bag was probably filled with clothes that some bum had shit themselves in and needed to ditch.  I hadn’t been in the right frame of mind to want to clean up human shit from the driveway, so I left it there until I could get the requisite gloves, bleach, etc. 

Well, my boss’s curiosity got the better of him and while I was rounding up a few more things for him to transfer for me, he opened the pillowcase.

It was full of dildos.  And lube. And Hand Lotion.  And prescription antibacterial mouthwash. And a pile of gold and silver mardi gras beads. And of course some needles.  There were 8 dildos of various types in the bag.

Maybe one of our neighborhood hookers stopped to shoot up and left her bag of party favors behind when she decided to move on?

I ensured the boss that I would stop letting my extra-curricular activities interfere with my work.  LOL

An interesting week for sure.

New Deviantart Portfolio

I decided to take advantage of DA’s portfolio feature.  I’ve been hosting a lot of my nude work on DA for quite a while and never really messed with the portfolio feature.  Slick little gallery tool really. 

Check it out.

In a better place

 

Yesterday was shit.  I was in a really pissy mood after a day that just didn’t go my way.  Oh well.  I don’t dwell on things long.  Dwelling on frustrations really gets you nowhere.  Today is a marginally better day.  But better.  So looking forward to the weekend.

Vacation

 

I need one.

Fridays are a beautiful thing.

 

Going to go meet up with a photographer buddy tonight to catch up and have a couple beers.  It’s been a long week. 

Day off tomorrow... going to the zoo with the wife and baby, another multiple model shoot on Sunday, then back to the daily grind on Monday to do it all again.  I don’t think I’ll schedule any shoots mid week next week.  I’m shooting a wedding on Saturday, which isn’t my usual gig, but it’s a favor for a buddy.  It shall be interesting… it’ll be the most people I’ve photographed with their clothes on all year in one place.

Here’s some more from the shoot with Jennifer last night.  Have a great weekend.

Last nights shoot with Jennifer

 

We had some great light last night.  Jennifer drove down from Corvallis equipped with bug spray and some killer modeling skills.

Wetlands Series – Winter 2009

 

Model: Autumn  - West Eugene Wetlands, November 29th 2009

A frigid, foggy winter day in Eugene.  What’s the logical thing to do?  Take a girl who’s a transplant from Hawaii out early in the morning and have  her run around in the wetlands without her clothes, of course.

This was a shoot that I did, made a few work prints, a few quick edits, and then shelved to rework later, as I was just not in the right frame of mind to work on them.  I just spotted them while going through my hard drive and thought I’d play around with a couple.  I’ve been working on coming up with a light room preset that has some of the qualities of wet plate images.  This is a variation on that preset.  Obviously not going to be 100% authentic looking, but close enough for me until I pull the trigger on my own wet plate camera and start making tintypes.

Another new beginning.

 

Began a new project this weekend.  I knew this would happen.  The plan was for this to be a one-off.  A trip up a mountain to an old abandoned mining town to shoot the juxtaposition of nude youthful bodies against the decayed structures and the remnants of a bygone era.

However, I’m in love with this place. This first shoot seems like such a fleeting moment, it will be some time before I will be able to exhaust the possibilities of this location.
