Naked Silence

Something in me said make this, but thats how it works isn't it.
I am not sure why I wish to spash a title up on A piece like this. Maybe it’s just because I can.

Ella Rose's new pointe shoes

Ella Rose with new pointe shoes. This was shoot after a session we did about Salome.

A homage to the artist model.

Just listening to a CD of the local jazz band headed up by Alan Fraser. Yes this little Cotswold town is a music hot bed and has something happening all the time.
I thought the one thing that does not go on here is a life drawing night with life jazz.
So I made up a poster for this imagined event.

As has been seen from some other post here, I am playing with the poster. What has brought me to work with this is the poster from the Bauhaus and other mid-century modern design.
The model is here is http://www.modelmayhem.com/1594577

She danced the cafe and cabarets, and called herself

Madame Bink and Cafe Conversations

Many wonderful images from this part of the shoot. Just getting started.

A Slow Dance in a Blue Space

Blue Space

This is from a shoot with Leah Axl. I rented a studio I felt was to small and to white for anything else than high key,
I put in just one light on the back wall griding though a cookie and using a blue gel creating a small box with a blue glow.
I playing with the space, for some reason I felt the need to add another layer of space using some words.

Another Cafe Conversations poster.

work in progress

Just a little piece from the work yesterday with Ivory and Ella.

new work: Rosamund still Dances

variations and moods

new work: Rosamund still Dances

This is work from the Rosamund the Fair project. I call the project Rosamund still Dances, with a subset called Faces of Rosamund.
It's a picture story about a mistress of King Henry II, with the wonderful and talented model Ella Rose is helping me tell the story.

Madame Bink Explains

This silent little video came about after hearing of the number of people that still believed in the literal interpretation of creation, and more to those who came up with such fanciful creations as intelligent design theory.
I ask Madame Bink to explain some of her thoughts on our origins and about art in general.
Enjoy,

Xainafairy from Motown to Slab City

This was a shoot with Xaina in 29 Palms, California. I've given this set of images its name because Xaina is from Detroit, and because Slab City is the most "beat" place in this very beat of places. (Well, I can't deny Detroit its own share of beatitude.)

A place described by an old Airstream, faded broken trucks, and a far-away look in the eye; by the Bagdad Cafe or a Sam Shepard play; by Gram Parsons' departure.
