Sensual Study

These were made probably six years ago, on a foggy spring afternoon in Woodstock.

Enjoy. :)

Springtide Fairytale

Have you ever seen these lovely images?

I made these a few years ago with my dear friend George Streng, in Sacramento. 

In all honesty, I do not miss touring or the modeling industry as a whole, but there are a few artists I certainly do miss, and hope to create with in the future, j...

Last Bits.

Hurricane beauties with Photosensualis.

In a few days, maybe something completely different.

Suggestions? Requests?

A Few More...

Hi! I'm sorry for disappearing for a little bit. With spring and the increasing availability of vaccines, the newspaper has picked up, and I've been doing editing and publishing as well because the office is working with a skeleton crew. So I've had my hands quite full.

In any case, here I am! I hope you all are finding...

Tempest's Encore *bonus

Premium set for my premium tiers. Enjoy. XO

Thanks to Photosensualis for taking these.

Tempest Revisited

Every year or two I resurrect the Tempest series. 

It's a powerful poem based on a powerful series of images made with Photosensualis during a Hurricane in 2016. 

As luck would have it, I broke down between St. Augustine and Tallahassee, where I was traveling to shoot. The AAA driver graciously fudged th...

Tempest Revisited

Tempest Revisited

I refuse to crouch and cower

Beneath a dark, shrouded truth

Beneath a bad, harrowing moon

Before a cloaked, sinister sun.

I will tear, furiously,

Those delusory robes

From her deceitful modesty,

And bathe

In the nudity of her rain.

...

Four Fathoms - a fragment

You were a strong armed lover

Learned in the song of your mother

Impatiently, you crooned

Illustrated by the wounds

Left by the harms of some other

And I am the storm of a century

A windswept form in an endless sea

Surely, you could drown

In all my rain, come falling ...

Nature

Sometimes I take photographs. 

Here are some of them.

I have quite a few $1 patrons, and I appreciate your support! I don't routinely post content at this tier, but since it's been a while, here you go. 

These images were taken by 2nd Life in 2017, in San Francisco ... the same day of the Women's March. I'm wearing my grandmother's robe. It's one of my favorite garmen...

Modern Renaissance Women

Alys Beach Afternoon

I've been going through the archives I share with my fave collaborator, Photosensualis. I just received some precious images from this series I've never seen before. I'll be sharing those in a few days. For now, enjoy this pretty, exclusive set from the era of MonSekaa, photographed at Alys Beach what feels like a mi...

Prone, in Color

Photographed by J.P. Gorecki in Moab, Utah.

XO.

Some Color

I've been posting a lot of b&w lately, so I thought I'd throw in a splash of color.

These images were taken at sunset on the first evening of the very last TDA session.

TDA - The Desert Adventure - was a fine art photo retreat I operated with a partner (Capt. John Gorecki) in the beautiful backcountry landscap...

Light Dreams

More beauties from the Photosensualis archive.

These were from the same Northern California trip, in 2018.

This was, actually, my last visit to California, over two years ago. Surreal.

XO.

Oops!

These were supposed to go up yesterday!

Tuesday is publishing day for my paper. I’m one of a skeleton crew who work in actual production since Covid struck. 

I had to do my work remotely from Virginia, which made for a long, exhausting day. 

I‘m now on my way home to Jersey after a nice, brief ...

Simple Days

I'm spending a few days visiting my family in Virginia, most of whom I have not seen since Thanksgiving 2019. We celebrated a late Christmas together yesterday. It was lovely. Today we are going to the Appomattox Court House.

It's a cold, dreary day here, and I'm dreaming of warm coastlines and making simple, natural im...
