Following my Mt. Lassen post I thought I’d post another volcanic mountain on the cascade range. This one is Mt. Hood in Oregon shot from the Washington side of the Columbia River… #roadtrip #MtHood #Oregon #ColumbiaRiver #landscape #nature #fujifilm #X100T

Ever get that feeling of Helplessness in a world of fucking utter Chaos? What in the actual hell is going on in this country?! #desert #nude #artnude #artnudemodel #environmentalnude #desertruins #highdesert #california #mood #b&w #monochrome #D200 #12mm M: @chelseachristian.com

The bts camera setup on a quiet calm morning at Mt. Lassen in Northern California, one of the last volcanos in the US mainland to erupt only 110 years ago. #nature #forest #lake #mountain #LassenNP #California #XH1 #X100T

In short theme from my last sectional figure image I thought I'd post another awesome PNW model who helped me with this somewhat emotive gesture shot a little over nine years ago, well that was the idea at least. #artnude #artnudemodel #hands #torso #monochrome #b&w #X100T Model: Verronica Kirei

New Years Day afternoon walk. Always beautiful dramatic sunny days right after a rain storm which called for me to bring out the big gun this time. #greenmeadows #grassymesa #palmtrees #harbor #ocean #mountain #clouds #puffyclouds #americanriviera #coastaltown #beachtown #D850 #50mm #1x1

Happy Nude Year y'all. As with every January and as an art lover and part time creator of nude imagery and collaborator, my wish for the societal mindset on nude art to open up is a life long concern. Unfortunately it's never ending battle. #nude #artnude #b&w #D200 M: @floofiesworld.bsky.social

Winter Solstice and the Holidays. Sunrise at the pier on a chilly morning. #sunrise #waterfront #weather #morning #sunrise #pier #wharf #holiday #christmastree shot with the #iPad mini 2 believe it or not.

Incredible! This month marks exactly a decade since I last shot with Anastasia. Man where has the time gone. It was our second shoot together, this one was at FD Studios in LA. An amazing artist in her own right, you should check her IG out ->> @anastasiaarteyeva #artmodel #artnude #monochrome #XE1

Good Morning from Kauai. #morningswim #ocean #island #islandlife #Hanalei #Pier #Kauai #Hawaii #XE1

I have been lucky and honored to have worked with some amazingly talented, inspiring and professional art models over the years, such is the case with Chelsea Christian here. That was a great day of shooting and creating. #artmodel #artnudemodel #classy #monochrome #b&w #desert #california #D200

The weight of a decade long funk I'm in is not going to resolve anytime soon. Selling off all my gear that I don't use anymore is step one. Perhaps it'll be a different story when I retire in four years. #bw #monochrome #nikon #nature #rock #nude #naturenude #artnudemodel @floofiesworld.bsky.social

Exactly 14 years ago this afternoon I had the pleasure of creating nude art images with Jess Robinson in my then home photo studio. What a fun and inspiring shoot that was with a talented and lovely soul. Hope she's doing great these days #nude #artnude #studio #lighting #b&w #monochrome #D200 #28mm

Californians are Americans too. As a matter a fact America is damn lucky to have Californians working their butts off to provide American and International needs...Don't poke the mighty Golden Bear. #California #Californians #CaliforniaRepublic #BearCountry #1nationalGDP #4internationalGDP #FoffTACO

More from my favorite beached tree trunk on a foggy summer morning with Rebecca.

Oregon 3/3 one of the last stops on my loop around the state of #Oregon, the Vista House overlooking the Colombia River and Washington. I think I am due for another visit mainly for some of the places I had to miss due to time. #travel #roadtrip #landscape #nature #phototrip #gopro #hero4silver

Oregon 2/3. Upon landing at PDX and picking up my car rental for the week, my first order of business is to meet up with the lovely Verronica for a day of shooting around the area. Here we found a secluded forest trail and had some fun with it. #artnude #naturenude #nudemodel #PNW #forest #BW #X100T

Oregon 1/3. In three weeks it will mark Nine years since my last visit to that amazing state for a photo road trip down and around it, man how time flies… beginning with possibly the most social media saturated hero shot of #Oregon 🛩️🚙📷 … #roadtrip #MultnomahFalls #PDX #PNW #waterfalls #nature #X100T

So there was this one day where my friend and classmate and I took our cameras to the beach to find things to shoot for a photo assignment. It turned into a brief #artnude session. Shot on #35mm #film on a #nikon #N90S and #AF50mmF1.8D... #monochrome #photography #funwithcameras #nudemodel #nature

Going back to 2010 on my very first [of many to come] photoshoot with the awesome @floofiesworld.bsky.social at Dockweiler Beach in L.A. …a beginning to a great relationship of shooting fun for many years. Honestly I miss those days.

A magical place I feel the need to return to sometime soon. #ZionNP #utah on top of #AngelsLanding

Another one from my in house studio session with Katlyn. I'm so very fortunate to have worked with so many amazingly talented art models. It is humbling sometimes when they perform for my camera to where I just do my best to capture their grace. Infinite Love for their time and friendships. #artnude

Who says old cameras are inferior, like how were all those iconic sports images of the past captured? This image shot thru an out dated camera even then when I shot it about 15 years ago. #cycling #bikerace #timetrials #professionalcycling #tourofcalifornia #D200 #80-200mmF2.8 #shootwhatyougot

Form, Shapes, Contour, Figure Dynamics... these are the things I always loved about the female form in relation to light, photography and other art mediums in life/figure studies. It is what I suggest to every art photographer why they should study other mediums in figure arts #artnude #photography

Getting the urge to plan a spring or summer trip back to this place. #yosemite #YosemiteNP #California #TuolumneRiver #freshglacierwater #backcountry #hiking #backpacking #photoadventure #XPro2

At the beach during low tide observing the wildlife with my old outdated yet wonderful camera kit. A Snowy Egret on the hunt.

Well wishes to friends in the LA fire zones hoping for their safety and property. This was a photoshoot I did in lower Topanga Canyon currently in the Palisades fire zone. A beautiful part of nature that will take a long time to recover. Models are Meghan Claire and Katja Gee way in the background.
