Don't Let the Sun - *full set

Don't Let the SunI’m bound to your lien,That down payment moneyWeigh heavy on me.I drown in your clean,Amber brown honeyStay ready on me.In the evening light,You owe me.Don’t, in deceiving night,Forego me.This sleepy silhouetteIs in debt;Indebted to you.Would you sell of me,A creature of speak,Sleep bringing a fee.When this old melodyHas reached its peak,Keep singing to me.In the evening light,You owe me.Don’t, in deceiving night,Forego...

Poll Reminder

Hi! Just a reminder that 9 of you still have not filled out the poll.Knowing what you are interested in is crucial for me to formulate a strategy now that Tumblr is no longer a viable platform. If you have a pledge of $5 or more, the poll results directly affect your experience. So please take the 60 seconds, so that I can narrow down the options to rewards that will really be worthwhile for you. Thanks again!

A [Mini]Van Down by the River

I met Michael & Sally of Photosensualis in the summer of 2013. I had just graduated college, and lived in a little town called New Paltz; about 20-30 minutes from Woodstock, where they lived and had their gallery at the time.For that entire year, it seemed that every shoot I scheduled with Photosensualis, it rained. This set is from our second or third shoot. We had planned on shooting in this field, and then it began to rain pretty heavily.We we...

Fantastic Winters

When winter lies downUpon we dreamersHer eternal evening,Will we let our eyes fallHeavily?Beneath indigo quilts,She weaves rich violetsAnd in her dark and cumbersome silence,She whispers constellations,Like quiet combinations,Into our eyesThat we might riseLike suns, and,Guided by her atlas,Dance on our own axisTo the fantastic songOf the summer within.-mmd 2019.

These sunny moments were the silver lining to 2018.

Mona de Femme (Revisited)

Mona de FemmeThis moon pains me,Swoons; Restrains me.Clawing shoreDrawing forthHot blood at high tide.Exposing ugly featuresThose carnivorousCreaturesThat I’d buried deepIn thick blankets of darkness.They harkenTo the starkness.It bathes them in light.It begs their expression.They burn their plightLike scars on my flesh, andHave I, after all this time,Left the wrong impression?The night begged the question.There came a silence.Felled over, like...

The Study

My favorite kind of indoor space.Taken in Woodstock a few years back, by Photosensualis.

Hi.

As most of you know, my grandfather passed away on December 12.He progressed rapidly over the course of a week. Every day for that week, we entered new uncharted territory. I held his hand while he took his final breath.It was a beautiful, but intensely heart breaking experience. I am incredibly relieved to know my grandfather is no longer suffering, but my world is so much different without him in it.I'm very fortunate to have had the suppor...

Eva in Lake Tahoe

In September, Eva & I posed for a group of photographers in Lake Tahoe. During the golden hour, there were some interesting shadows, and I snagged a few experimental shots of Eva.This week, I'll be sharing some images Allyn Saroyan made of the two of us during this shoot.PS. Tumblr has stopped allowing nudity. I'm unsure as to how this will affect my private blog, so I'll be posting here for now.Enjoy.

So tonight, I spent some time cleaning house over there. I've got some of his favorite photographs, and tonight's assignment will be to frame them. Tomorrow, I hope they will be a fun surprise for ...
