I've been shooting pictures as a hobby for years. Mainly nature and animals. Although I have done some shoots for friends, etc. I really got started in the late 70's, my first SLR was an Olympus OM10. Still one of my favorite pictures ever was a shot I did laying in the front of one boat, running beside a friend who was water skiing barefoot backwards. I loved that camera, used it until I froze (literally) it while camping. I was a real hold out on the digital 'revolution' until they finally reached near 35mm quality... I've been working with my D70s for over 5 years and really like the freedom to shoot and see the way digital allows.

I love to travel - been spending time on road trips lately to see America, so far I've hit 39 of the lower 48.

To me Photoshop is for adjustments to a photo, it is not to create the image. If you want to do that, you want an artist, not a photographer. I don't mind altering colors some or doing some minor touch up, some noise reduction. I think photography is an art which combines the skill and imagination of the photographer and subject (or model.) I like the finished product to resemble what was going on in the view finder. In the immortal words of Marty McBride, "I shoot with a camera, not a magic wand!"

I don't have a studio, since I've concentrated on nature's beauty for years, just moving into a different realm of nature's beauty. So shoots will be always be location (indoors or outdoors.)

For the most part, I am here to get some great images, hopefully enhance some portfolios, enjoy photography, improve my skills and have a good time along the way.
** A CD containing all retained images *** This may go away soon, takes too long to convert RAW to jpeg for 200 images. I may change it to best 50.
** Downsized copies of above for posting to web sites, etc.
** Three - five edited images per hour of shooting time
** A limited copyright waiver for use of said images for promotional purposes
** Should the images be sold by the photographer, a 25 percent honorarium shall
be remitted to the model.

If you are interest in shooting, let me know.

I've got several links of shots/styles I'd like to accomplish. They might very well suit your needs too.
**************
ESCORTS - Escorts are fine. I've not had any issues and feel like the session will work better and the photos be better if the model is at ease.

See much more work:
at the iStudio link above (includes some non-model work too)

Scheduling:
