here are some more shots from the dan lewis shoot. what a non hectic day this was! wardrobe changes took about 45 seconds and he had no preferences of wether we were shooting in a dump or the sistine chaple, just smooth sailing all the live long day. i am definitely working with more male "model's" in the future. not to mention we squeezed a 2 day shoot into 4 hours. GOD BLESS!

i will be posting more of the shoot in the days to come (probably only the film shots though)... depends on my mood i suppose.

oh, so the other interesting thing that came out of these prints were the responses i got from the flickr community... i asked people to comment using their "honest" artistic opinions, + and - responses would be welcomed with open arms by yours truly... the results have been very helpful and some surprising.

brian aka "peel apart" (a flickr friend and admired film guru) mentioned that all the "noise" (internal camera flaws, light leaks and blue lines) bugged him. he suggested i get the camera CLAD'd to adjust these issues.

ceci (a lomographer wizard) said she appreciated that i was shooting more dudes, turning the tables on flickr audiences who've grown accustomed to the glorified female figure. she also said she would have centered the figure more in these shots.

their words make me happy mostly because it's special that they've taken the time to look at my work and share their honest opinions as opposed to little pink stars.

so please, if anyone out there in blogger land has an opinion share it or forever hold your peace!

Yaschia A Model. 120 Film.

standing in the midst of late spring.

i love coming home to this. i put mc cartney's ram album and groove to side one while picking up the house. light fills every room and it's warmth is a kind reminder of things i've been missing in my life.

lately my thoughts have been carrying me away in a million different directions. it's only an ant hole at the moment, but when will it become a mountain?

nothing much inspiring to share at the moment. my birthday is in 9 days. i have blown through loads of film lately and just busy building up my hope for better days to come. it helps spending as much time outside as possible. the cool breeze and soft light wont last much longer. i need to photograph every last split second of it.

i wanna live

i wanna give

i've been a miner for a heart of gold

i've been to Hollywood

i've been to Redwood

i crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

i've been in my mind

it's such a fine line

that keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold

and I'm gettin' old
