SARA - WITH BENNETT'S TUMBLEWEED

I was showing a visitor around my studio - he had just purchased one of my Milagro photos.   He saw this photo on my wall -  "I have to have that one."  he said and pointed to a framed copy of - Sara - With Bennett's Tumbleweed"

I suggested I would print one right away if he could you wait.   "Print it."  he said.

I told him there was a story behind this print.   Some time ago my partner, Sue Bennett, decided she wanted to do a photo of a model with a tumbleweed so one day we went out into the desert north of Flagstaff and found the perfect tumble weed.  Sue kept it in her studio for years - never made her photo.  One time I asked her if I could borrow it - she didn't say no,  but more important she never said,  "Yes."   Sue was killed in an automobile accident over 5 years ago - the tumbleweed still  hung in her studio I borrowed it - took it to my studio and made this photo for Sue.  An homage.

And as a note - I attribute much of the success of this photo to my wonderful creative model Sara -

FAVORITE MODELS

I always prefer to work with a few models often rather than a lot of models just once or twice.   From time to time I will post photos of some of my favorite models from over my years of photographing models for my website Album Erotica.    Here you will see Tangent, Kaylee, Joceline, and Brandi.   Each has her own look and style, which determines the way I work with them and the way the photographs look.

Here is one of my beliefs about being a photographer.   Photography is an act of submission.  I submit to my models, when I photograph a landscape - I submit.   When photograph a flower - I submit.   When I make a portrait - I submit.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS AN ACT OF SUBMISSION.
