# About me
In late 2009, I essentially made the decision to discontinue shooting artistic nudes for sales as content for websites catering to this time of photo genre. The work had become miserable and unrewarding with problems such as: no shows; bad work ethic; no physical resemblance to their portfolio; completely unreliable; extremely poor communication skills; theft of wardrobe and more; implants; and tattoos. It had become extremely difficult to make a living doing what I was doing.I was not sure of my future, was struggling to figure it out, and the only women I was photographing were ones who stalked me, and wanted to work with me, no matter what. Those were fun. One such model wanted to travel with me and write books, so she said, but in the end, that produced the same result, a bad business model.
The idea of traveling and writing with someone grew. In late 2010, I met Shelby and spent six weeks with her and, subsequently, produced a book of our adventure. That book has done very well, and is available through booksellers everywhere.
My idea evolved into finding a photo worthy female, and then, together, travel and each write our own versions to produce an “he-said, she-said” book. Because those females who fit my requirements, being able to extensively travel, no extra baggage such as children, pets, and job, this required that my partner be of an age between 20-30, and most probably closer to the lower end of that age range. This meant our project would also be an “age gap” book.
Follow the journey that one photographer and one model made as they traveled through Panama.

Thank you

Sadly, none of my books right now are available for print. Because there are so many pictures included in each book as well as gallery links...the print costs would be too high. Sorry about that.

Thank you very much for the favorites and follows. Everything I post right now is in support of my recently released books. You should give them a look at if you'd like to see more of my images and read all about the stories that lie behind them in my photojournalism books which can be found here:

That is excellent. I'm glad you enjoy my images. I really really do think it is a wonderful book. The reviews show that many others have also been loving it as well. If you enjoy that book, then I also suggest looking into the book "Sour Grapes". It's another good one. Very soon I'll be posting images from that book too.

For now I believe that "Six Weeks with Shelby" is the show-stopper.
