Ariel redhead in red
Ariel was a model I worked with twice in 2010 before she moved to England, and we reconnected last week in Seattle! Here's the first bit of what we shot.
Foggy zebra
Saturday morning, we had this intense fog outside of our house. Maggie sleeps in this zebra onesie so we knocked out about 2 cold minutes of shooting before she lost any interest and went back inside.
Children of the Night
Maggie + friends from Halloween!
The claws of a daughter
Maggie and dad selfies in the backyard. I have a TON of new instant film work from this week to post in the coming days so bear with me while I get it all scanned!
Remixes #1 - Hand Colored Cyanotypes
I'm always trying to find new ways to avoid boredom in the image making process, and this was one of those avenues. Models include Mosh, Angel, Sierra McKenzie, Lux Lacheln and many others. Explainer video here!BTW I still have most of these images if anyone is interested in buying one. They are...
McKenzie mirrored
Polaroid with McKenzie Eckels from my last shoot way back in October!
Ammalyn - Mother Nature's Daughter
One of my favorite images shot with Ammalyn in a public park forest in Portland circa 2014!
Devi + Screen
Since I've been making new instax versions of older digital work, I'm finding that the color pieces turn out more attention grabbing in the small format. Shot with Devi in early 2017.
Dec Update, Patreon Changes + Playlist
Hello Patrons! This months' Spotify playlist is focused on stuff on a sort of abstract peacefulness and purity, with a large chunk taken up by ambient composers like Aphex Twin and Ben Lukas Bosen, alongside a few very purist rock tracks by The Verve, The Pixies, The Editors- bands with "The...
Ella Mai Instaxed
Explainer BTS vid here!
Stella Morgan 18+
I remember this shoot with a shudder- I had been hired by this new young model, Stella Morgan, and drove out to Los Angeles to meet her at a studio she also had paid for. Earlier in the day my camera was acting wonky while shooting with my family at the beach, and by the time of the shoot, it was co...

Instax Black Friday Sale!!!!!!!!!!
When I type in ALL CAPS you know it's legit! I'm selling ANY of my Fuji Instax Square prints for $6 each, or 5 for $25, free US shipping/ $5 International. Normally these guys are $10-$15 each so that's 50-75% off, but it's only Now-Monday 26th, or "Black Friday thru Cyber Monday...
Maggie obliterated
This was from an instax that had really poor exposure, but the scanner decided it would do its best. I really like this approach to rescuing things that in practice might go straight into the trash can.
Erika
Erika De Leija shot in a photo booth at an arcade in Santa Monica last month!
The Nov Spotify Playlist
This month- the Beatles Esher Demos from the White Album re-release dominated, as well as other melodic/ acoustic numbers. It was a low-key November where I donated my car and mostly stayed home, animating/ video editing/ focusing on my arts e-commerce stuff. This mellow set helps me not lose my min...
Erin - Shell Game
Work with Erin Mae, a fun NYC model, shot out at Coney Island in May of 2018!
Mystery model
shot during the only photo workshop I took in my life, 2015. Model unknown.
Genevieve all over
A crazy double exposure with Genevieve Liberte in my backyard

Sky - Summer's Gone 18+
Work with one of my favorites, Sky, shot way back in June but edited Nov 1st! Not that I'm slow, but I hadn't found an approach to these I was satisfied with- we ended up with a day and a time with the harshest, most direct sunlight possible, and no clouds to speak of, not easy to edit! Now ...

Macedonian Patrick
Patrick in Wife's home country of Macedonia. I believe these were Byzantine ruins. I love being around ancient architecture and long to go back there in the next year or so!
Sierra Diana F Style
Sierra owned a Diana F camera which she never used, but still she was really into this Lomography style which is why I probably shot more of her with my own Diana F than anyone else. Here's some highlights from those shoots - explainer video here!
Happy Halloween with Kelly Eden #2
Hat by Sylva (Scar) Hattington!
Happy Halloween w Kelly Eden

Erika on the Pier 18+
New work shot with Erika de Leija earlier this month by the Santa Monica Pier! Note the "of 21" in the name - the rest of the shots after 16 were instax and are featured in the "instant film weekdays" $15+ tier.
Dog... and cat?
From Maggie's early years of photo commentary. I love it.
