Everybody wants me to say something.  Well, I don't like to talk about it, I like to do it.  I used to belong to the Advertising Photographers of  America, but all they did was talk.   I don't know if you agree with me or not (I don't care anyway) but most photographers get really boring when they talk the talk. I suppose that's why I like this web site.  Judge for yourself or don't judge, just enjoy.

What kind of camera do I use?  What's my favorite film?  How did you do that?  Where do find all the beautiful models?   You must lead a pretty exciting life.  Well, it's all BS, if you know what I mean.  I just do what I do and I try not to think about it.  If you over mentalize it, its not art.  Art comes from inside and has no conscience, besides, Art is some guy's name.

I do court the muse occasionally (okay, I do it 24 hours a day).   You can't make her do anything, you can't even ask nicely.  Ray Bradbury has a book called "Zen in the Art of Writing-Releasing the Creative Genius Within You" that pretty much explains it all.  There, I offered some advice for young photographers.  Here is another one:  Try to copy my photos, if you try hard enough, you'll take much better pictures than I.

Enough rumination for one visit.  You'll find plenty of my opinions else where in this web.

Don't let children or small animals look at my web site.  There is nudity involved here.  My apologies to people who don't understand art.
