What can I say I love my job and '05 is already turning out to be an amazing year for me. The studio is coming along nicely and the paid shoots are lining up. Hold on to your dreams people. Set your intentions and stick to your guns. That is the only difference between success and failure in this bizarre dream that our egos tell us are our lives. Positive thinking and goals go a long way in turning the forces and energy of the universe in our favor. And this is coming from someone who has at times battled and overcome bouts of fairly severe depression. Its so funny and strange because writing this I about leaked some tears of joy. I am just so happy because I truly believe I am finally starting to truly understand some important things about the way I have lived my life and how I plan to navigate the rest of this journey.

I got some great news yesterday after submitting some photographs to Playboy for a model that I work with. I was just expecting to get her some work, but was very pleased to receive the following:

"Hi BrightEye,

Good news! We would like to use your images for our "Sexy Girl Next Door" online feature in the Cyber Club of Playboy's website. Both you and Nikki will be paid for the images and each receive a 30 day temporary pass to our cyber club to review your pictorial.

I will need your address to send the paperwork. Are these images digital files, prints, slides? I will need to collect the images from you when you send me the paperwork. I will also need Nikki's contact information to give her the news and send her paperwork, as well.

Thank you,

Joann
"

I would post some of the shots on here, but I don't want to mess up anything knowing how corporates like Playboy operate. Email me if you want and I will send you a link to some of them. I am so stoked that Nikki and I's work is going to be seen by millions of people and I will be able to say that my work was used by Playboy, the freakin all-time creme-de-la-creme of men's magazines in the entire known universe. I promise not to get too big of a head
Just to be clear I think the girls on here are much hotter than any in Playboy, just my personal taste. But hell its still an honor. Now if I could only get some tattooed hotties in NC off their butts and into my studio to work with me.

It is alive with such possibilities.
All I know is I feel better when I sing.
Burdens are lifted from me, that is my voice rising!"
