Samples from My Latest Shoot

13

On 07 February 2018 I shot with KG. Actually it was 08 February 2018 by the time she arrived, we finished setting up the set, and she changed into her first outfit and did her makeup and hair. Since it was a few days before her birthday, she wanted to do a birthday themed shoot. Here are a couple of samples from the shots I've...

@amirarayne, she is not, at least I don't think so. She's never mentioned it, and I've never asked. I've yet to shoot with an SG or SGH, though I keep trying and hoping it'll work out someday. That said, I have shot with a girl who has a profile page here, but never did anything with it. I doubt her membership is current. I haven't asked her if she wants to shoot for the site, because I am almost positive she won't do it unless she's paid for the shoot and her rates are not in line with those of other models I've worked or talked with. If I want to pay a model, I can find plenty who are much more affordable.

Blog Homework: Secret Recipe for Love

12

Coinciding with Valentine's Day, this week, @missy and @rambo want to know our secret recipes for love. With a caveat... it's a contest and the winner(s) get some sweet SG goodies. I wonder if they'll consider members for the prize or just SGs and SGHs. Maybe they'll award a prize to one of the ladies and a prize to a member. Maybe they'll read so...

@littlejohn22, thanks! It took me a while to come up with it.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

8

I struggle with this decision every year. My annual subscription renews at the end of February. Should I renew? I actually started thinking about this in November 2017. I’ve been waffling on this decision frequently ever since. Some days I think I’ll renew. Other days I think I won’t.

It’s not about the money. $48 for a year of Suicide Girls is an extremely fair...

@catgrey, thank you for your kind words. It should be obvious that I did renew. I pretty much decided to right after I wrote this blog.
deadguitarist:
@starry, perseverance pays off, though I think in my case it was simply being patient. I shot some sets last Wednesday, 14 March, that will at some point be submitted to SG. And I’m shooting again on Monday, 02 April. I didn’t ask the model if she wanted to shoot for SG, she told me that she wanted to (we’ve shot together every month since October 2017, except in January 2018). Hopefully this will kickstart my photography business a bit and bring me opportunities to work with other local models for SG and other projects.

Crazy Weather We're Having In Las Vegas This Winter

8

It's crazy weather here in Las Vegas this winter. While pretty much the eastern 2/3 of the US has been way colder than normal, we lucky people in the western states, especially the southwest, have been warmer than normal. Out of the 28 days (so far) in January, Las Vegas has only been at or below the average temperature for 6 or so days. 20+...

I was lucky enough to see the  supermoon on New Years Eve and I have just watched a video that shows the UK should get a pretty good view of this one too, exciting stuff!

2018: The Year That May Be

6

With 2017 ready to pass into the annals of history, and 2018 poised to exit the future and enter the present, let's take a look at what my year might look like at this time next year.

These aren't resolutions, but things I'd like to try, do, complete, or accomplish during 2018. But I'll let @rambo and @missy think they are resolutions.

Thank you @lewolf

@littlejohn22, we went on a cruise in 2005 for our 10th anniversary even though it was a year and a half late. It was a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera with ports of call in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. We sailed with Princess Cruises on the Sapphire Princess. My wife contracted Norovirus the 2nd day of the cruise and was quarantined to our room for 24 hours, but the doctor didn’t follow up on time to release her and she ended up quarantined for 2 days. To make matters worse, the toilet in our room kept breaking, which as terrible since she wasn’t allowed to leave the room. We also think there was a period of time when our stateroom door wasn’t locking, leaving all our stuff unprotected. So my wife did not have a very enjoyable cruise. I did though. While it was interesting disembarking and seeing the sights at each port of call (Cabo was the best, but we only got to stay half a day), I enjoyed the sailing days more... relaxing, swimming, hot tub, hitting up the bars, playing bingo and what not. They aren’t cheap, but if you price it out per day (without alcohol purchases), it’s comparable to most other vacations. I didn’t think my wife would want to go on another cruise after this experience, but she suggested it, so we will see.

2017: The Year That Was

With 2017 ready to pass into the annals of history and 2018 no longer the future, but now the present, let's take a trip on the WABAC Machine and remember what happened during my 2017...

JANUARY

January was apparently uneventful... except that the Clown was formally installed as POTUS. I apologize if you do like Trump. I don't and I'm also not a big fan...

@deadguitarist It was nice meeting you.  I don't remember if I commented before, but I never felt ignored or unwelcome...in fact, quite the opposite.  I'm glad you decided to stick around.  I've gotten a lot more serious about my photography (and have since also gotten a season pass to JT) and hope that there might be another meetup again this year. @nebula
deadguitarist:
@philly2hb, I enjoyed meeting you too, and our short conversations thoughout the day. I too have gotten more serious about my photography; and I’ve shot a lot more this year than last. I plan to get a NP annual pass this year, and also see if there is an annual pass for Nevada State Parks.
