Who AM I... Really??

11

I realized, last night, while driving home from a shoot in Chicago that I've been censoring myself. I've been "acting" to what society expects and what is "proper." And through all of that have completely lost track of WHO THE FUCK AM I... Yes, I'm a husband... a father... a son. A musician and a photographer. But those have NOTHING to do with the voice

First time I heard of SG

The first time I ever heard about SuicideGirls was Boston when one of my friends said she wanted to do a surprise nudie shoot for her bf... “ kinda like the SuicideGirls style” she said. I wish I knew back then what I know now!!

Oh, yes.  In 2004 I purchased an Esquire magazine while waiting for a plane in Washington National (now Reagan). There was an article about alternative beauty that focused on SG, it was all new to me, but I loved what I saw. As soon as I got home I went to my pc and subscribed (may have said hello to my wife on the way). 😁

I LOVE especially in THESE times that SG is able to uphold healthy sexuality and empower women to BE sexy and strong. I'm SO very humbled to be able to photograph those moments.

Defeated by Facebook

OMG! I'm SO sick of facebook right now. I have been blocked for the past two weeks, and I just got off and NOW I'm back on again. Can I just point out, I haven't posted anything against their puritanical rules. And the response button that would allow me to tell them why it ISN'T against their rules isn't working. They're LITERALLY killing me! I...

A Christian Boudie Photographer?

7

I don't know if I've mentioned it here, maybe I did... I don't remember. For the past year I've been getting very serious about my Seminary journey.

But as I have, I have been dealing with this internal struggle. Will I REALLY be able to pastor a church AND shoot boudoir photography? Or am I headed towards a schism where I'll have to choose sides....

Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm not that fluent in English, just know a little because I watch a lot of tv series

@pisces  your English is perfect! Thank you so much for saying so. I wholeheartedly agree about the church becoming a toxic and icky place. I think that's the real point of my dilemma. I want to pastor... Someday. But I don't want to be a part of the toxic sludge. I want to find a place where you can be loved for being you. It's the same as my photography! I love boudoir because it's an opportunity to reflect someone's inner beauty! Her sensuality and grace! God GAVE us that energy. To me, it's not shameful to celebrate it. It's more shameful to hide who you are.

Geez, I hope I don't lose my guy card for this... ;)

Ladies, let me tell you (this comes from me, as we ALL know... not all guys are created equal. Mileage MAY vary)… There are a few keys I can give you to the male psyche. Be warned, however, the locks to these are generally hidden behind bramble bushes of anger and...

Homework: The Most Important Lesson

@rambo @missy

I'm not one who learns lessons easily. I'm patient and I'm kind... I'm REALLY too nice. But this lesson has taken me 32 years to really pick up on. Which is funny because it's also the first lesson I ever learned. Let me give you a little background...

I grew up in Minneapolis... well, my early childhood. I have always been a giver...

Homework: Favorite Season

@rambo @missy

I REALLY had planned on moving down to Florida. My in-laws are ALL down there and I LOVE the water. I thought SUMMER was my season. And then I realized... I hate sweating!

So what's a guy to do? I'm from Minnesota so I can't go back to the cold! "Winter IS coming!"

When I close my eyes, I can hear leaves rustling...
