2) Submit layouts to local, national and internationally published mags.

3) Create my first calendar...or two, or three.

4) Travel and work with models from CA to NY to FL that I have been dying to do so with.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to find someone who loves me for my
inner being and not just because I'm charming, handsome and a tremendous

I want to take more pictures of kitten and puppies and adjust the contrast until it looks like 'art'.

If that fails, then I'll try to take photos that I'll my Mom won't understand but will still love.

Do not hire any model who has to have an escort along.  This is usually her BOYFRIEND.

To keep modeling because I love it. I never want to lose sight of what is important to me: making art. Money is not what I'm here for and I never want that to be a reason I model.

That is a beautiful philosophy.  And you know what? I would much rather pay a model who is not in it predominantly for the money than pay one who is.

Me?  I just want to shoot more in 2007.  2006 was a pretty bad year for me in many ways.  Here's to hoping 2007 is much better. For me and for everyone! smile

My resolution is two fold.  The first one may fall apart quicker than I think.  I was thinking of photographing 52 models over 52 weeks.  Now that is a dream (Poof it goes up in smoke)  I will still try and give a shot (Pun)

The other is to take a photo a day.  This also takes a lot of discipline.  I tried it a few years ago and only lasted a couple of months.  It was film then, so there wasn't that excitement and instant gratification.  Well it begins in a few hours and will see how it goes.

Any models interested in working on this let me know.  Each one is taken on a one to one basis.  Some TFCD.  Some TFCD and Pay. Maybe some will accept travel fees.  Some to pay for their time.  Let's discuss it.

Models I have more info on this if interested.
