junk slapped together arbitrarily. arbitrarily?
i've sent out the original[s] in large to a couple of flickr peeps to see what they come up with.
edit: looking at it, i think it was merely an exercise in color. hence the resultant image is like pencil shavings.

First nude shoot for client. And I got paid. :)

I'd like to thank Kim for accompanying me to a shoot I did down in Hotlanta over the weekend. I can't show any faces in the photo because of the contract I signed, but here is a sample. Also, I'd like to thank her for the kind words from the corner of the studio like "stick your butt out more!" and "arch your back!" :)

Another shooting in the entertainment district late Saturday night. On Sunday morning the street was blocked off and the Forensic Identification Services van was parked at the scene.

special edition -- from Albert to Marilyn

This is guaranteed to BLOW YOUR MIND...   You probably see Albert Einstein in this photo, but step back from your monitor far enough and he will turn into an image of Marilyn Monroe !   I found this recently at San Francisco's Exploratorium...

Gate 5, Sausalito

Most everybody knows that Sausalito has houseboats (the ones you can see from the freeway), but what a lot of folks don't realize is that there are two types of houseboats -- the nice expensive ones to the northwest, and these funky ones at the Gate 5 Cooperative...

Not a very colorful name -- Gate 5 -- but that's what the Bechtel Corporation named it back in 1942 when they operated a HUGE shipyard in the area called Marinship, building Liberty Ships for the war effort... My Grandfather worked at Marinship, so when I visited the Jeremiah O'Brien, a Liberty Ship docked at Fisherman's Wharf, I had to tell the docents all about it... --Unusual for me to start up a conversation, but I did...
