sometimes

you're right.  this one is just about you...

last sleep

'you're pretty in the dark' is all i can muster

as i watch you sleeping peacefully

and the light of day creeps in to break our silence

i can't sleep again

my head hurts from all the circles 

i've been running

in my dreams

my eyes water as my head throbs

with the weight of this lovestruck hangover 

often too much to bear

the wishing wanting waiting worried

that I may miss you more than most 

is what weighs heaviest on my 

burdened soul

sighing, in the breathless air

just to feel you breathe again, 

your wind on my cheek 

and breeze in my hair

longing to be wrapped within the strength of your arms

whisper in your ear

as you hold me tight enough to let me fall asleep

what i really miss

chicks rule!

there's this energy and enthusiasm when i get to work with another female, whether its in front or behind the lens.  i feel a sense of sisterhood, empowerment and all that shit that sounds made up.  its there, its easier.  there's this thing that's removed when its two ladies creating art.  i love what i do, internally, creatively, inherently.  it shows, i hope.  and when i collaborate with someone as talented on both sides of the lens as well, well... its this!!!

in a matter of moments, we create these things that just work.  floor, hallway, light and dark.  half hour later.  yeah, we're done.  satisfied.

here's a few more, courtesy of zoe wiseman.  look her up.  she's rad!

another day

in the mix of monotony and variety that my life has become to be, sometimes i have a shoot that consists of a few consecutive minutes.  these minutes compound, mixed with friendly banter, humorous interaction and often pure delight in the connection with the photographer and congeal into a sequential hour.  and by the end of that hour its time to have a beer.

sometimes those few moments are just enough.  to date, my shortest shoots with some of my favorite people have produced the greatest results.  here are a few from an hour of one of my last days in sydney.  i left my heart there.  ill be back soon

more soon from another shoot with my good friend, zoe wiseman... about 30 minutes of our lives completed, finished with an equally satisfying massage.  yeah my life is that great. be jealous.
