goon 73's photostream

Hello, and welcome to the flickr page of goon73.

About me (professional)
I am a photographer based in the Houston, Tx USA area. I am self taught in the sense that I have not to this point had any classical training. I have however had the opportunity to work and learn from quite a few extremely talented photographers. I would consider myself a semi-pro photographer mainly because I continue to have a “day job” and do not make my living with my cameras (yet). I do enjoy paid assignments ranging from portrait work or events, to Modeling portfolios, Fashion work, and Glamour. I also accept limited wedding assignments. I am available for commercial and private assignments, and am available to travel for assignments. My rates are reasonable and vary depending on scope of the project. If you would be interested in working together on a project feel free to contact me at goon73 email to discuss the particulars.

I also shoot limited TFP depending on concept.

I do sell prints of some of my images. Contact me if you see something you like.

About me (personal)
I am dad to the most awesome little girl ever. She is currently 7 years old, and has decided she wants to be an artist, fashion designer, vet, spy, and doctor all at the same time.

I am also in a relationship with the best woman ever. I am constantly asked “What does Kim think about your photography” and my answer is always the same, she is supportive and often shoots with me. She has a plan to enable me to become a professional (full Time) photographer, and we are working towards that goal together. She is working on becoming a Make Up Artist, and is also quite the capable photographer. She often gets behind the scenes shots of my shoots, and somehow seems to have a knack for catching me mid pose trying to show a model what I am going for. I have finally gotten used to ending up on flickr posing. She has a great photostream and you can head over to Kimmie-r to check it out.

About my flickr page
I use flickr as a portfolio, and a record of my photography. All images posted were taken by me, and I hold the copyright. I post approximately 80% of the images I create here on flickr, the exceptions being commercial and paid assignments. My photostream is random, it just depends on when I upload images. I also have my images broken down into sets, and collections to make browsing easier.

Feel free to view any of my images, and constructive comments are appreciated. I generally don't answer back in comments unless there is a direct question. Please keep comments appropriate. I understand that there are some very beautiful women that I work with, and at times those women have less clothing on than you would see in day to day life, but seriously they don't need to read comments about the sexual things you would like to do to them. Seriously, I will delete inappropriate comments and block you if necessary.

All rights are reserved and I DO NOT give any permissions to repost, print, edit, or otherwise copy my images. I have downloading disabled and currently have no plans to turn it back on.
