Doing Better and Very Busy

The last post was a little....harsh. I was just in a bad way that day but I finally got my outlet and am doing much better today.
I've been working my ass off trying to get my portfolio together. I have my digital copy ready but now I have to work on the physical portfolio. That's gonna cost a pretty penny. Anyone who knows me knows I wont settle for anything but the best. Unfortunately, I have very expensive tastes. I finally got around to setting up my photo printer and to my amazement it still works after months of not taking care of it. I printed a few test shots out and everything is fine. It even saved my color profile when I moved to England. I thought I had deleted it but apparently not.
Kirnan suggested that I broaden my scope as far as models for nude or suggestive shots which is what I love. The vulnerability of the human body fascinates me. I need some females but the problem is I don't know any that would be willing to let me a) let me shoot them nude b) be comfortable with their own nudity enough to be showcased and c) They have to be "attractive" enough to be what I'm looking for. I put attractive in quotations because big can be beautiful too. I need someone who is photogenic enough to make a statement with their body. If anyone knows someone locally who would be willing to be a model (not necessarily nude) for a local artist let me know.

My old friends Reyn sent me an email yesterday accepting my off to formally photograph him and his partner of 17 years Jonathan and their new baby. I can wait for that. Reyn also asked if I would be willing to take some shots for an opposed election of some sort that he's running in. I'd LOVE to do this. If Reyn was elected in some tiny part due to my photos.....I would be ecstatic.

Josh and his friend Tenelle came over last night and Tenelle came up to me and the first words out of her mouth was "Your my photographer idol" it sent shivers down my spine to hear that. To be held so highly by another photographer meant so much to me. It really gave me a boost to my confidence and made my day.
