At Eighteen Years

I posed this way, with my pants around my knees, in front of my entire studio group and teacher during the first semester of my studio photography class,sophomore year at SVA. I can already see the signs of pain in the shoulders, from carrying the world on my back...I am so grateful to have finally opened my shoulders, thanks to Margherita, yoga, and dance training. Although in this case, the hunched look really works for the picture...

An amazing muse, artistic collaborator, and friend for some 6 years now. I'm a lucky duck!

Castration Anxiety



Fabulous Valerie, with Mikey the cat, who just lost his balls.

By the way, I now have a portfolio website, so this blog will from now on be a place for outtakes, process shots, and random musings more than a showcase for my work. 2012 do or die.
