Suicide Girls, Suicide Girls, Suicide Girls...






Ok. The controversy continues...


I remember about 8 years ago or so, i was a wee little man, and i stumbled on some HBO Specials. As part of these "SPECIALS" was a documentary and kind of a worldwide


marketing/promotional Video From Suicide Girls. Ever since seeing that Video, I FELL IN LOVE!! like hoenstly i even made a shirt that said I <3>



Right about the time i decided to start submitting sets, i noticed a whole barrage of FREE LITHIUM PICNIC posters and an entire website dedicated to the whole Philip Warner/Lithium Picnic & Apnea situation. As far as that goes i am very useless as any kind of source in regards to the exact situation, BUT i recently stumbled on a very good source(as far as the internets go) for clearing up some of the "DRAMA" attached to that.

I have to say i am quite appalled as to the type of ethics attached to a company like Suicide Girls. The more I delve into researching their company policies and strategies the more I want to puke!!!!!


this is one tidbit of information source i have found:


http://kovalproductions.wordpress.com/2008/01/26/what-i-learned-about-suicide-girls/


along with many other verbal and internet communications i have had with other photograpehrs and models, i am beginning to feel, that SG better get on the RIGHT track or they may be on their way down!

So all in all ( damn i feel like i am writing a damn school essay now) my feelings towards SG Suicide Girls is still neutral, BUT heres the caviat, I dont think that Sg / Suicide Girls will be reciving any of my Photo Shoot Sets anytime soon!

DragonSitting... My Nephew



Hey all, I am Dragonsitting for this week. Joey needed someone to sit Fluffy ( the sexiest Bearded ever) and given that I LOVE Lizards especially any Dragon, and i have vast ezxpereince caring raising and breeding them, it was obvious who was the one to take charge of the (not so)little one =)






Day 1
Yes Iwas able to ft a 30gal L in my mustang, TOLD YA SO JOEY!
Took Fluffy about 3 -4 hours to finally adjus to his new surrounding, i tried mimmicking his tank setup best as possible from his home with his momma. Once i gave him a little cricket treat he warmed up to the idea and he was back on his perch =). Im going to Stop n Shop niw to buy the appropriate food selections for him as prescribed by his momma. Off to the Market now....
























Day 2
Hes doing much better he started perching on his half log and enjoying some rays LOL
He is adjusting quite well, Sorry Joey he loves me more now HAHA he wasnt eating hsi salad so i had to point ihim in the rght direction again by feeding his favorite freeze drird cricket treat ( only 1 by his salad dish ). once by his dish he took notice of the nice salad i made for him =) he seems to know who i am because he isnt as jumpy whem im around but if anyone new is there he starts to get all fidgetty. I gave him his first bath, he seemed confused at first, but then i guess he realized i wasnt going to cook him. p.s. looked like he been holding that shit (literally) in for a while LOL


















Day 3
Got up, poured some orange juice, and made some toast, tdiced up his salad and fed him a raspebrry. he seems to enjoy my salads very much =) Ill be going to get some nice silkworms for him on my way back home from work today.

Birthday Boy Birthday ME!

Well tomorrow smy birthday, August 17th, and I figured i would congratulate myself on my 25th birthday with soem gift to myself LOL

Well being that I am a geek, any kind of gear or electronics device will give me a woodie, i decided to buy some new photo gear!


Got me my first MANFROTTO Stand, and it was a necessary buy. A Boom / Hair Light Stand and a few extra goodies.

Using makeshift boom arms is dangerous to My models health and hysical well being, as Hell Kitten found out one day when it kinda bumoed her on the head on its way down. Its ok No Models were harmed during the process of any shoot hehe

well here are the new additions to my Gear/Studio Setup.



Manfrotta ™ Boom Stand with 160w/Sec Monolight Ready to photograph some pretty ladies!

Orphan Movie Poster



Something about this Orphan Movie Poster really grabbed me. it seemed to really capture the character that little girl has set out to play. Its evil, as well as innocent and sort of arrogant and sneaky. It also is very symmetrical, maybe TOO symmetrical, so i felt i wanted to give myself a challenge, in recreating this poster. Its was more of a reverse engineering lighting test. I was very happy and pleasantly surprised with the results, given the fact i didn't have all the tools i thought i needed. here is the Final Product from the shoot with my really good friend and equally talented as she is Beautiful, Agnosia.





Here is the Run down on the lighting. I will post either a snapshot of the lighting setup or a 2d rendering of the lighting placement



Main/key light was my trusty Canon 580exii barebuld with paper as diffusion on boom arm directly above and a few degrees forward of Agnosia. 48 inch white reflector used for fill from below and equally distant from Agnosia and behind about 1.5 feet for edge lights were 2 160w/s monolights with 30" Umbrellas for nice soft spread but less harsh edge lighting.

thanks for reading and i hope this was helpful for some kind of insight on how i achieved my results!
