2) 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF PHOTOGRAPHING THE NUDE FEMALE FIGURE: A MUSICAL SLIDESHOW VIDEO TRIBUTE TO MY MODELS
.
Just a couple of days ago, February 2nd, I celebrated my 10th anniversary of photographing the nude female figure. It has been a privilege to work with 65 different models along the way, and in tribute to them I have created a 12 minute musical slideshow video. It was amazing to go through every photoshoot of the past 10 years and to see the ways in which my eye, my editing skills, and my very philosophy have changed, developed, and grown. In the early years the models dominated my compositions. In these later years I have come to see the naked female figure as an indivisible part of the larger environment of nature of which she is a part. Telephoto lenses have given way to wide angle lenses, as the curves of the body and the curves of the hills come to be seen as equal reflections of each other. .
This video tribute can be found in two locations, one on my website, and the other on Vimeo:

3) COMMEMORATIVE 10TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTOSET – “AN AFTERNOON WITH LEA”
.
The last photoshoot I did during this decade of work was with Lea. I am calling the photoset from this shoot my commemorative 10th year anniversary photoset. You can find it here: .
That’s it for this month, good people. There are shows coming up in March and May, but more on those in my next newsletter. For now, I hope you truly enjoy my anniversary video and commemorative photoset, and I would most love to see you in San Jose on the 25th!

In gratitude,
