In this episode, Christine continues the narrative of her body art, talking about the tribal and butterfly tattoos she has on her back, as well as the one she shares with Angelina Jolie, which represents her struggle with an eating disorder.

Christine is a model I met who is covered in well over 20 tattoos, each one with some meaning or story behind it. As such, this was a very lengthy interview and will be broken up into five different videos. Be sure to check back to see the new videos and photos as they become available. See more photos of Christine’s tattoos here.

It’s the time of year I love best - when I get to harvest various fruits and vegetables from the garden and then subject them to the lights in my studio. Last year I showed some peppers I had grown. This year’s peppers are not ready yet but keep watching and you will see them here before too long.

This particular cucumber was the first mature one I was able to pluck from the vine and so I was excited to capture it with my camera. Afterward my lovely wife wasted no time dispatching the cucumber for an afternoon snack. The joys of gardening!

My wife will tell you that the one thing that will interrupt a meal out is my taking pictures of the food. Of course, the lighting is not the same as when I photograph food and other objects in my studio and the limited space at a restaurant table means limited composition possibilities but sometimes I come away with some gems, and am forced to try angles and distances I would probably not consider in the studio.

These are fun photos for me. What I see in them is a stolen moment, a view into the temporal nature of our world, a vision and sense of “right now.”

Why not take your camera along to your next meal to give it a shot?

My last post featured an unedited photo of Vasara Noxxul, a model who came by to participate in my tattoo project. Vasara was a lot of fun to work with. She is the type of person who is really an expert at what she does and it is clear that she enjoys it. Seeing that type of expertise and passion is a lot of fun to watch. Here is another photo from the shoot. Click on it to see the select edited images.

Vasara is a local model who came over recently for my tattoo project. I am very excited about the photos, as she was incredible at posing and very expressive. I haven’t even edited the photos yet but wanted to post a preview here. Keep an eye out for the whole set of photos.

My friends Ted Snider and Linda Woolven of The Natural Path Newsletter came to visit from Toronto a couple weeks ago for Victoria Day and we had a great time. Ted, a teacher by day, and writer/lead photographer for the newsletter, is always a lot of fun to see take pictures. Despite his lack of photographic training, he does what photographers are supposed to do - get the picture. He isn’t afraid of getting on his belly or stomping through muck to get the picture he is after. Here he is getting up close and personal with a caterpillar, prone on a dock. He got some great shots of it that I will link to if he puts them online.

It’s always fun to see people work when they really love what they do. The first time I took photos with Ted, I could tell that he had a real passion for it. He’s the type of person who strives to become better at everything he does, constantly enriches his own knowledge base and tries to incorporate new information and techniques. It’s really exciting to be with him and get swept into that type of fervor.
