When I first started
to take
photos of my friends...they
were first nudes stills and of my intimate friends.
How
else could you get someone to relax or warm up to the
photographer...the
bright lights, and without feeling uncomfortable with a big camera in
your
face...and totally nude!
I guess later I
got to photographed anyone who was bold and daring...they would show up
even with their dogs!

Then I
would
use slow shutters speeds and multiple exposures with tricky modeling
lights and a hot lamp.
THE IMAGES WERE DEVELOPED BY MYSELF, THEN PRINTED IN MY OWN DARKROOM
AROUND THE LATE 1990'S...SINCE 2011 THESE HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED
AND MADE WARMER ON A MAC.
