Self-Affirming Blog Bias

Reblogged from: http://jsparkblog.com/2015/09/01/self-affirming-blog-bias-the-danger-of-reinforcing-misinformation-inaction-from-isolated-viral-awareness/#more-17277 One of the problems with circular echo chambers like Tumblr, Facebook, WordPress, or Twitter is that we mostly follow the voices that confirm our own preconceived beliefs while shutting down the evidence that runs counter to our…

A Whip in the Mouth

A Whip in the Mouth

Sometimes a moment of whimsy can change an image completely. This young mom had brought along a beautiful silk kimono given to her by her hubby after a visit to  China. I have a lot of props laying around — sometimes things from one shoot dont get put away before the next one, other times I leave something out in plain sight to check the mood of a new client or model. People arrive in studio with…

Smiles Don’t Necessarily Mean You’re Happy

Smiles Don’t Necessarily Mean You’re Happy

I love every face I’ve ever seen.  Truly I do.  Beautiful ones — the work of genetics.  Old ones — the results of a life of experience.  Scared ones — testaments to survival.  You get the idea.  We all bring something to the table when others can see your face.

The White Queen

Sometimes models I work with end up making the most interesting referrals. This gal posed for me as a result of two of her friends also posing for me. And… you guessed it, the second of those friends had posed because the first had put her on to me. It’s nice when people enjoy their images so much that they spread the word. The reason I post her here is all about nerves. Generally speaking,…

Arrogant Red The first few minutes in the studio are everything. I can pretty much tell how an entire shoot is going to go based on the time we spend talking — with my model completely clothed — before we shoot frame one.

Does It Matter Who's Prettiest?

Does It Matter Who’s Prettiest?

Mirror Mirror On The Wall Does It Matter Who’s The Prettiest of Us All? International Womens day is March 8. A day to celebrate the power, strength and achievements of women all around the world. All sorts of women, short fat, tall, thin. How important is it to be a beautiful woman, what does being beautiful mean to us and of our own body image how important is that If we think of ourselves as…

The Hazards of Nude Modeling

The Hazards of Nude Modeling

Three area artists’ models bare all about the job’s hazards: potential psychopaths, fake artists, and people who draw imaginary shorts on them. THE KILLER SKETCH When she was in college, F. took off her clothes for $16 an hour. F., 23, worked as a model for figure drawing classes at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, a job that required her to stand in the center of a circle of students,…

Scarlet Why does this image make me think of Little Red Riding Hood?  Her coat isn’t red, it’s her hair, and yet I can’t stop thinking of that stupid fairy tale.
