Photographs from a remote session with Anoush Anou in late 2020. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the ability to work with models at a distance – Anoush was in her home in Ohio, and I was in my basement in Maryland – when these photographs were created!

In February 2020, I attended a workshop created by Marie Otero with figure model Ivory Flame. This image of Ivory Flame with a Fan of Feathers is just one of several incredible images I took at the workshop.

I’ve been very fortunate to work with Ivory Flame – a wonderful figure model – a couple of times. Here are some of my favorite photos from our sessions. As always – photographs created with models are always a collaboration of artists. So Thank You Ivory Flame for all your help in creating these images.

A few weeks ago, Bill and I spent a wonderful socially-distanced morning working with one of our favorite models Gazelle Powers. Most of the photos I took were part of my Inspired by the Kodak Girls series, and I took a few portraits of Gazelle. As always, the photographs were created in partnership with Gazelle – I shared my concept for the session with her – she brought the outfits, and the ideas for poses. I can’t wait to work with Gazelle again next spring

I recently submitted a project to Lenswork magazine’s Seeing in Sixes book project. It was not selected for publication. So I decided to share the photos with you today rather than just having the project sitting on my hard drive. The idea behind the Seeing in Sixes book is for photographers to create a series of six photographs that make up a project.
The Secret Life of Andrew the Panda
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” ~ A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
Meet Andrew, a typical stuffed panda from the 1980s. By the mid-2010s, Andrew was living a quiet life on a shelf in the Washington DC suburbs. And then, one of his people took up wet plate photography and needed an exposure test model. And suddenly Andrew had found his calling in life. He’s black, he’s white, and he’s happy sitting still for as long as takes to get the image.
Shortly thereafter, Andrew’s people started working with models. His role as the exposure test model was more important than ever. Now he was helping make sure the models looked their best under the lights.
As Andrew started working with the various models, he became good friends with several of them. Recently, he has allowed his people to catch a few behind the scenes photos of his life as a panda about town with these wonderful women.
