Monique post Shooting in Austin from patreon

Today I posed for Larry, a photographer whom I met at the Holz/Weston workshop several weeks ago.We had a pleasantly quiet afternoon of soft portraits, followed (unexpectedly) by 3 hours of intense and fulfilling conversation, covering everything philosophical, political, ethical, spiritual.It isn't often one meets another, especially these days, who is willing and eager to have these kinds of conversations. It is even rarer to meet someone w...

Here's a little behind the scenes bit of Nymph and I posing for George Holz at Holz Farm in Phoenicia.It will be a little while before I can post about that weekend on the blog, so until that feature, I will drip some bits and pieces on here.I hope you're enjoying the last light of summer. I'm off to tour Austin, and then to Maui. When I return home, my town will be sleeping in vibrant colors.Speaking of home, I'll be doing some w...

Eclipse; A Fragment

Morning yawningThrough stormy dawns.Beneath shoreline awnings.Wide with lassitude.Lengthy latitude.Whispering somnolent suggestionsThrough the blindsAt my bedside.Steady-eyedSuggestions that contrast themselvesAgainst the far wall.Against the vanity.Caressed, my anomie.Cast themselvesInto dark brown fleshArabesque.Tinseled with fine, blonde fur,Salt and silt.Malt and gilt.Accented, in lightLike waveletsSupine, in halcyon waters.More to come soon....

Tribute to the Traveling Moon

Just a quick note to acknowledge a chapter of transition and overcoming; So appropriately symbolized by the interruption of light by the moon on her passive, but determined, travel.Today I surpassed my first goal of $400/month on Patreon. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and a feeling of potential only made possible by a supportive community. I hope you enjoy what you see here; As always, feedback is encouraged and appreciated.Thank you. Thank you...

What, of drowning In a sea of overwhelmWhat, of burning The flesh of my kneesRed with rashIf I believe hard enoughCan I breathe this water?I graze my toesAgainst the sandTouching the sharp edges Of the hollowed homes Of mollusks,Chips on their shoulders,But nothing left inside.What, of vacancy Of drifting, on my backOf sifting, nonplussedI emerge, gaspingGraspingI am swept up Once more.Offered up, feverishlyIn a tidal frenzyObedient to the moonWh...

Into the Photosensualis Archives

Here is a candid shot taken by Photosensualis.For my $5+ patrons, more from this series up on the Tumblr blogs.(Also, in previous posts, behind the scenes of my tour in California, as well as my tour back east).These were taken on a sunny afternoon in Woodstock, New York, August 2013.The majority of my shoots with Photosensualis are comprised of rain showers, so this series in the sun was so gratifying, as can be inferred by the images.I am in lo...

Box sets.

I intended to share an image of myself today, to document my recovery. Then I decided I only want to share my best self with you.My recovery has been rough... I will start to feel tremendously better, but then as soon as I attempt moving at my average pace, this infection strikes back with a vengeance. I woke up this morning in pretty substantial pain, and with very little energy. The bruises on my jaw that had faded have strangely reappeared, an...

Updates

About a week ago, I acknowledged my absence on Patreon this month. I've had a lot going on in my personal life, but that is no excuse not to deliver my best.To make up for my inactivity on the blog this month, I've put together some sweet packages for my 5+ patrons. The package will contain content relative to your pledge. They will ship out on Monday.I have also been putting up content from my California tour. You can check it out now on...

Apology

I am holding myself accountable for having neglected this feed for almost two weeks.I came off a condensed tour into what has proven to be a much larger undertaking than I imagined.My sister wanted to move back to Jersey to start her adult life. So I agreed to help her get started with school and rent a place. She was not, and still is not, prepared for the sea of responsibility I launched her into.In the last two weeks, we have been through two ...

Beneath the Weight of Overwhelm

This is one snapshot of a storm that passed over us at the Barnegat Docks while we waited for the fireworks at sunset.Moments like this remind me to breathe and cherish the experience of being overwhelmed in spite of fear.Change is imminent and the anticipation can be debilitating-- or it can be a catalyst.It seems as though I finally gain a clear view of the horizon, I am swept up in another storm of complications. I do not pretend to understand...

Box Sets

A little peek inside of the box sets that are shipped to my higher tier patrons.This particular set includes a print by my long time collaborative friend, Jim Mathews, who is so dear to my heart. Also included, a set of four polaroids by Dominic Catena, an original post card from a local artist in Moab, and some of my original writing.Visit the Tumblr blog to see more!!xo

Sheila Speaks

Here is Sheila Metzner's wonderful presentation. It was taken with my phone, and it's sometimes difficult to hear her over her jewelry clacking together (though, I thinkthat tactile qualityadds to the charm of who she is).I don't want to take too much advantage of my very special opportunity to see this presentation, therefore I am only posting this here, since the few of you who have access to this admire Sheila as much as I do.Sheil...

In the meantime, I spill.
