Male

71

I was born in 1938. I was raised in three separate families, went to 17 schools, lived in 66 residences, been busted twice, visited 15 countries, been married three times, fathered four children, been an artist/musician since my early 20s, had more “day jobs than I care to talk about and survived cancer four separate times.

I’m as comfortable in a boardroom as I am on a 12 man chain. I’m a incongruous conglomeration of old school greaser/hot-rodder, continental bon-vivant, hard-core hippie, biker wannabe, intellectual gangsta, social renegade, political monkey-wrencher, polyamorous devotee, BDSM practitioner, beatnik low-rider and spiritual explorer…..a package that almost always insures that I will do or say exactly the right thing at the most awkward and inappropriate time.

I love passionately, do NOT suffer artifice lightly, am loyal to a fault, quickly tire of mediocrity and love to play.

I place high value on my family and loved ones. I spend much of my time collaborating with other creative souls making arousing music and catalytic photography.

About my photography:

I have been doing fine art photography professionally since 1982. I shoot, primarily, in-studio but sometimes work on location. The overall theme of my work is The Essential Feminine. I explore this subject through the dynamics of social taboo, gender issues, personal expression, private ritual and more. Every shoot seeks to examine these issues through the individual perspective unique to that particular subject. I consider each shoot to be a singular life event during which I seek to find the resonance unique to both the subject and myself. I work with both male and female in a collaborative, boundary sensitive and non-judgemental manner.
