Slacker!

That's right, I'm calling myself names. Not to worry though, I don't argue with myself anymore. Not out loud anyway. Better living through chemistry!

Haven't been updating the photo blog lately and for that.... I suck. My mostest sincere apologies to the 10 people who follow this thing.

Had a couple pretty cool shoots lately.

In late August my phone rings while I'm sitting at home on a day that I just so happened to have taken off work. It's JaBari Agee! He's a terrific model from the Cincinnati area who I'd been speaking with on and off for quite awhile. We mutually respected each others work but just couldn't get our schedules to mesh. Well he just happened to be in Indy on an overnight layover and wanted to know if I had time to do a shoot.

Let me think about it.

SURE! So we did. And it rocked. Hard.

And then there was Robin. When I greeted him at the door of the studio he seemed rather unassuming. Mousy? A friendly guy, kind of shy. Definitely not the sort of guy who wanted to do erotic photos like the one I had been speaking with via ModelMayhem.

Well damn! As soon as the lights came on and the camera started clicking, so did he! Boy did he come alive. It was a photographers dream. Totally uninhibited, took directions very well, had some ideas of his own and we just had a fantastic collaboration.

I would so much rather work with someone who isn't a rock hard gym rat but has a great imagination and willingness to just go with the flow and see what happens. That's how I work when I don't have other factors getting in the way. Just throw something at the wall and see what sticks. May not work for everybody but I like it. Give my imagination totally free reign and just sit back to enjoy the show.
