Curiously, while I can do it fairly well, I don't like doing self portraits. So I asked the wicked London, Ontario photog Echo (her Deviant or her Myspace or her Echo Visuals site) to do some quick shots of me last weekend. We spent perhaps less than half an hour together with Siren looking on - and dodging massive amounts of rain - and she was able to come up with some damn cool good shots. And she works with film. Old school!

It was interesting being on the other side of the lens for a change and I can appreciate in a small way what all the people who model for me go through! Though I have to admit, just standing there and taking directions seemed pretty easy to me.

But I will stick to behind the lens work- even though it is fun checking to see if someone has left a comments about me.

I am in the midst of moving too, so flickr stuff n such is light at the moment, but when i am settled in I will have a mini studio space. and there are at least five or six new models that I am anxious to post/work with. stay tuned. Mainly this post is for my only reader Carmi! :)

I think that Echo did amazing shots of you. It was fun watching you take orders for a change. It's not always as easy as it seems but you pulled it off very well. Maybe next time the weather will be better. Rained when you didn't want to and stopped when I wanted it to...it's got it out for us..lol

I like the third one... and I too, am insulted that you think you have only one faithful reader! :)

I'm with Leanne: you are admired and respected by so many!

I love these pix...and laud your courage in switching to the other side of the lens. Good on ya, mon ami.

Best of luck on the move, btw. Let us know when you've landed. Someday, I'd very much like to meet you in person.
