About My Photography
My work has evloved alot over the past year. After almost a decade of shooting nothing but 35mm black and white film (and shooting mostly fetish related themes), I recently switched to digital. My heart is still in film but, as you can see here, digital has given me a whole new canvas to work with and explore my different ranges of color. I'm really excited by anything that makes a person stand back and say, "now that is fucking sexy,"......let's face it, if you can't evoke emotion like that from your photos, then why even bother taking pictures at all.

The Nikon nightmare is finally over.....

For those of you that I haven't talked to lately I have been kinda "DN antisocial" because I have not had a working camera  since the beginning of JULY!!!!  I had to send my camera into Nikon to have the main digital sensor replaced,....little did I know at the time it would turn into the worst service experience I've EVER had.
I sent my camera in on July 3rd and didn't get a "working" camera back until August 17th. The deal was they took forever to fix my camera then when I got it back from them I come to find out that they broke the shutter while "fixing" it which disabled me from even testing the camera or taking one picture. So I had to send it back in and even after they promised me immediate service because of their fuck up, it still took them almost 3 weeks to fix it that time and I had to go to one of the heads of the company in California to get it resolved and get my camera back, then after all that,.... they ended up sending me back my camera completely unfixed and broken for the second time. So,...long story short, I ripped some people a new asshole and they gave me an entirely brand new camera. Which I just got and tested this weekend so,....everything is back to normal for me and I am happy to start scheduling shoots again.

Also, an update as far as new shoots in the works for the site. I have already shot 2 shoots with the model named "Jay" on here and she should have to first one posted shortly so be on the look out for that. I have also scheduled a shoot with the model "Ducky" who I have had to hold off shooting for some time now due to her breast augmentation surgery,....which I hear is all healed up now. I am also in the works of shooting a couple other models (to remain nameless) that are going through submission processes. Also, I will be revamping my "skimpy" portfolio on here soon as well and uploading some of the million shoots I had done this summer before my Nikon fiasco.

So, don't forget about me,.....I'm still here.

That Nikon saga sucks.  That's why I keep a backup camera body, and backup lenses when I can.  The backup camera and the backup lenses are not of the same quality as my main camera, but it will do if I run into problems.  I was thinking of keeping a backup flash too.  I always have backup studio strobes.

Next time you look at buying a new camera body, make sure you keep the old one as a backup!

Welcome back.  Looking forward to seeing the new sets!

congrats on your lastest set up.  and glad that you have a working camera.

I buy all my cameras locally, and the local dealer and/or Nikon have loaned camera bodies and lenses to me and my assistant in situations like this.  One of the benefits of buying locally.

Thanks a ton for all your nice comments and such. I wish I had bought my camera locally but instead I opted for the "quick deal" of buying one cheaper online. Now I see the value in face to face customer service for sure......
