Trying the new blogger interface... sorry for the lack of posts here, but Tumblr has certain advantages. This is Katie Damron Potter from late summer... awesome shoot with Katie, yielded a ton of good images!

My "Body of Work" Exhibit will be drawing to a close this week, but going out with a bang of a Closing Reception on Saturday night, from 6 to 11. Artwork, great people, refreshments, prizes, and maybe a few surprises! You can RSVP on Facebook or just stop by. If Saturday night isn't convenient, the show will be up during regular Gallerie hours, too.Hope to see you there... tell a buddy, bring a

Also managed to neglect mentioning that I have two pieces in the annual Nude Nite Art Exposé in Orlando. The show opened Thursday, and runs tonight and tomorrow, so still a little time to check it out if you're in the area.Happy to add that one piece sold the first night! Thanks to Kat for letting me know about the sale, and big thanks to Peyton for encouraging me to enter! (That's Peyton doing

Am pleased to have work in the Detroit Dirty Show yet again this year... opening night actually started a few hours ago, but it's going on the rest of this weekend, Valentine's Day, then again next weekend, so if you can make it to Detroit, be sure to stop by. I'll be there this Saturday night, and probably again before it's all over! I don't want to tip my hand what I have in the show, so here's

I've entered the French PHOTO Magazine's annual competition for the last few years, and had a number of images that seemed to be selected as "finalists" but they didn't make it into the print edition. Well, I'm happy to say that this year, I have an image in the magazine. I have a visual confirmation from my European emissary and everything, even though I've not seen an actual copy. The shot

Someone a few weeks ago asked me about the archive blog, the entries from 2006-2007. I took them offline a while ago for various reasons, but they're back, at least for the time being. There is some good stuff on there, and some stuff I'd do differently now, and a few things I probably wouldn't do at all now, but it's all a process, and looking back and seeing progress is a good source of

Just a quick note to wish those of you who are still reading this blog all the best for the holiday season, however you choose to observe it. I've been having a form of "browser wars" on my machine lately, which has led to a lack of posting via Blogger... attempts to upload an image to Blogger would not only crash the browser, but it would cause the computer to go offline, and the only way I

Received my copy of "The Mammoth Book of the New Erotic Photography" today, and it's really a beautiful collection of work. I'm very pleased and proud to be included, and would like to thank my models who appear in the book: Danaid, Sweet Romance, Iris, Mosh, Zinn Star (above), and Sativa. I would also like to thank editor Maxim Jakubowski for inviting me to participate, and for doing such a

According to the Social Issues Research Centre, a supermodel weighs 23% less than an average woman, and less than 5% of the female population have figures like her.

Just a last-minute update/addition, I'll have a few pieces on display at Jimmy Modern, 605 E Fifth St. (across from the Trolley Stop in the Oregon District) as part of his 3rd Annual Erotic Art Exhibion during the downtown Dayton Urban Nights event this Friday, September 10. As overused as the word 'eclectic' has become, that seems the best description of Jimmy's combination gallery space and

Talk about last minute... have neglected to mention I'll have seven pieces on display starting August 6 at the Art Bank at 811 Mass Ave in Indianapolis, as part of their "First Friday" event. I'll be at the meet and greet event from 6 to 9 on Friday, and the art will hang around through the month of August.

Sorry this blog's been getting ignored lately... there's been a pretty steady stream of images going onto myTumblr because it's so simple to use, but then again, it's tough to comment on them there. It's always something. Anyway, if you're a Tumblr-umba person, why not go follow me there as well? Been good, been busy, been trying to catch up on editing. August seems to be less crowded, although

A Tuesday that feels like a Monday, after a holiday that also felt like a Monday. A few odd things seem to have cropped up over the weekend as well... not in the mood to sort them out, but sort I must, if only to put them into the "eventually" stack or the circular file. Here's another of Erin O from a few weeks ago... would be good to bring her back. Looking at very light studio scheduling in

Well, the Spring issue of Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine finally turned up at my local Barnes & Noble store, although mail order copies have not yet arrived. For what it's worth, I've discussed the availability problems with the good folks at CLN, and while they've been fighting against complications from earthquakes and the BP Oil Disaster, they're keenly aware of the distribution problems and are

Well, based on input from a few regular readers, and a couple apparent limitations with Tumblr, I'll probably keep the blog thing going here, at least for a while longer. May have solved the image uploading problem, but it sure would be nice if tools from the same company would play nicely with each other -- but what can you expect for free?

First off, the Cleveland Dirty Show that had been scheduled for July 10 has been postponed until sometime this fall. More on that as details emerge...Second, I've been having a lot of trouble uploading images to Blogger -- yeah, that empty window over there is about the size of it. As a result, I have been dabbling with Tumblr, so for the time being, you might meander over to my Tumblr page to

Hard to believe it's just now the first (well, second) day of summer... it's been so crazy hot for the past month or two, I can't imagine what it's going to be like in July and August. This shot is Deanna, shot outside Tucson, Arizona... but there it's a dry heat.

Very pleased to mention that I received an "Excellence Award" in the B&W Magazine's 2010 Portfolio Contest (issue #76). They featured nine images in a six-page layout, and many thanks go out to the models: Danaid, Amalia Sue, Lucy Dominga, Sweet Romance, Stephanie, Char Rose (above), Galetea, Keira Grant, and Zinn Star. The issue is out now at Barnes & Noble, as well as most other bookstores and

A number of my shots will be included in the upcoming Spring issue of Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine.

Well, the Erotic Review voting and judging have finished, and while I didn't finish in the money, mine was chosen as one of the 36 top portfolios, so I'm guessing that means I'll have some images included in their annual book project again this year. Thanks to those of you who took the time to vote, and congratulations to this year's winners.This is Kelsey, stepping lightly.

Just a word to mention that one of my pieces was selected for the Scarab Club Silver Medal Exhibit, which actually opened on the 31st, with an artist's reception this Friday from 6-9pm at the Club. I won't be able to make it there, unfortunately, but lots of cool people will be attending, and I'll be there in spirit. The show will run through May 16th if you want to stop by and check it out.

Here's Alkemie Jane, fooling around on a recent shoot...Looks like the Erotic Review voting is in overtime, so if you feel like offering your opinion on a bunch of photos, go for it.

One interesting feature of the new studio space is the very old glass in a lot of the windows... depending how light shines through, it looks as if it's raining on the glass, sort of like the famous shot of Robert Blake towards the end of "In Cold Blood."The first shot here is newcomer Ilene, and the others are returning favorite, Angie.

Still a few more voting days on the Erotic Review Readers' Choice selection, so if you haven't stopped by to check it out, go ahead and spend a few minutes perusing the entries and expressing your opinion.Here's Isabel from last fall sometime... time sure flies!

One of the premier "old school" music photographers, Jim Marshall, passed away today. Jim made iconic images of virtually every musician who would be considered a legend today. Hendrix, Dylan, the Beatles, Janis, Coltrane, Miles, and the list goes on and on. He'd just released a new book with Timothy White, Match Prints, where the two photographers chose complimentary images from their

If you're as burned out as I am on the whole "Health Care Reform" business (or even if you're not), here's a chance to make YOUR vote count. The Erotic Review "Reader's Prize" voting for 2010 is currently underway, so why not pay a visit to the site and score some of the images there. Click the link in the middle of the page to launch a slide show, then to vote, just press a number between 1 and

Was saddened to hear about the passing of Alex Chilton today at age 59, apparently of a heart attack. Alex sang the ginormous 60s hit "The Letter" when he was just 16 years old with The Box Tops, and later continued to be almost famous in the band Big Star, and as a solo performer, as well as a record producer. While he didn't have a lot of commercial success after The Box Tops, his influence on

If you missed the Dirty Show's "Big Opening" weekend (to borrow a joke from Elvira), you can still make plans to attend either this Friday or Saturday evening. I'll probably be around some on Saturday evening, but my work will be hangin' around both nights. A framed print of this shot of Sophie King (as in "she's Sophie King cool"... clever, eh?) sold last weekend, so thanks to the mystery buyer.

Just feeling sort of crazy busy lately, partly due to the move, partly due to ramping up my shooting (and therefore, editing) lately, lots of driving, not enough sleeping, and various other fallout from procrastination. Lots of good stuff in there as well, such as preparing for this weekend's Dirty Show where I'll have three pieces on the wall, and a lot of work in the museum store -- there's

Well, the windowless "grimy dungeon" has joined the list of my "former" studio locations, and now onto location #5. Still in the same "complex" but this new space has some nice windows, distressed wood floors, an eventual "seamless" wall, and other civilized elements. And I'm hoping there won't be the constant shower of black dust from the ceiling, nor a constant barrage of bad music spilling

Writer J.D. Salin5er passed away on Wednesday at the ripe old age of 91. Known almost as widely for his reclusiveness as his sole published novel, A Cat¢her in the Rye, he's one of the most polarizing authors of the 20th century, with many people either adoring his work or reviling it. (For the record, I'm a fan.)As with anyone, I think think there are lessons to be learned from his work, as well

The nominees and winners for the "Black and White Spider Awards" were announced yesterday, and my shot of Katy was chosen as a nominee in the nude/amateur category. Thanks Katy, and congratulations to the other nominees and winners.I entered the French PHOTO magazine "Concours" again this year... they posted the results of the first and second "cut" of the judging. I presume the first two cuts

Hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving Day, whatever form it takes. And don't forget "Buy Nothing Day" on Friday! (See post below.)This is Angie, who will be on the front lines of retail at a nearby mall, and a reminder that if you DO venture into the stores, go easy on the sales staff -- they've probably been there since the early morning hours, are doing the best they can to take care of

Well, as "Black Friday" approaches yet again, I'll once again mention that November 27 is "Buy Nothing Day" as well. There's a movement to de-emphasize our roles as "consumers" and return to being "people" and not taking part in the spending frenzy of "Black Friday" is a big part of that. Of course, with the economy in the shape it's in, buying something to help retailers and producers get out of

A welcome arrival in today's mail... the new issue of B&W Magazine, featuring the winners of their Single Image contest. My shot of Jessa received a merit award and is included in the issue (pg. 72 to be exact). Thanks Jessa! Only 15 nude/body images were chosen for the issue, so I feel honored to have made the cut! I received my subscription copy today, so I'm guessing most subscribers will get

This is a little video demo/test I did a few months ago with Kira Nova. Not sure why I didn't post it at the time, but here it is. It's just a very impromtu test, and a jiffy quick edit job, but it reminds me that I want to explore some more along these lines. Let me know what you think, and if the video works ok for you. :)

Tonight is "First Friday" -- the monthly night where the art galleries and such stay open late and folks congregate in the artistic "pockets" of town to look at art and things, maybe sip some wine or nosh on finger foods. Will probably head down and see what's going on. May bump into Dave L and his entourage while I'm down there, and who knows who else?This shot is Spilt Sugar, before the stuff
