Why Am I In The Sink?
Sunday, December 20th, 2009
My niece’s little girl, back when she was just a baby.
Kim as Heavenly Body
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Back in my darkroom days, and before Photoshop, I used to do fun things like this.
Kim is actually in my swimming pool. The technique you see here is called solarization, but with dodging around her head. The “stars” are actually sand sprinkled on the photo paper during the second exposure.
Steely Dan
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
They were just hanging out at the beach in San Diego. I didn’t even recognize them until months later, looking through my album art.
This was around Summer 1978.
Martin Mull
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
I was able to meet Mr. Mull in college when my friend Karen, who was a singing Playboy bunny, hired herself to go up on stage and present him a greeting from his local fan club (which was her). She brought me along to photograph the event.
It went over so well he asked if she could do it again for the second show. So between shows we hung out with him backstage, and he talked about the early days when he and Steve Martin were a comedy team (Steve Martin Mull).
Jim Stafford
Monday, November 30th, 2009
This is Jim Stafford. I interviewed and photographed him for my college paper.
What a decent, down-to-earth, talented guy. He now has one of those theaters in Branson, Missouri.
Jessica with Rock Star
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
My daughter Jessica with the lead singer from Bowling For Soup.
Today is her birthday, by the way. Happy birthday, sweetheart!
McKinney Gothic
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
My daughter Jessie and I both have a somewhat morbid sense of humor.
This was taken in the Pecan Grove Cemetery in McKinney, Texas.
Kim
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Back in the late 70’s, this was accepted for publication in Popular Photography. I don’t know if it ever actually appeared, though.
It was my first experience with having to get a model (in this case, her parents) to sign a model release.
What’s he about to say…?
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
Portrait of my friend Dave. Looks like he’s about to say something that starts with an F.
Stockton Gothic
Friday, October 30th, 2009
Old friends (and neighbors) Kim and Larry.
I was trying to take a serious photo with them looking stoic in front of the American flag, but then a gust of wind came up and the shot went wrong – or actually, I think, right.
Patti McGuire
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
She was Playboy’s 1977 Playmate of the Year, and I was so nervous I could barely speak.
This is what she was signing…
Blond with Towel
Saturday, October 24th, 2009
From one of my infamous pool parties, sometime around 1980.
Up To No Good
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Hooter’s Girl with Beautiful Eyes
Sunday, October 18th, 2009
Seriously, she has the most beautiful eyes I think I’ve ever seen.
Taken with the tiny camera on my old Sony Clie PDA.
No Evil
Saturday, October 17th, 2009
See, hear, and speak no evil.
[My old friends Brad, Leon, and David.]
Danielle with Face Painting
Thursday, October 15th, 2009
My daughter Danielle, who’s birthday it is today.
Happy birthday, sweetheart!
Captain Lead and the Letdowns
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
My old friends Jason, Pat, Dan, Eric, and David, in the cover for a punk rock album that was never released.
Gak! Feck! Nerk!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
The Siler brothers, out to show that they could be as geeky and weird as I am.
[Maybe I should point out this was back in the mid-1970’s and we were in high school.]
Checkerboard Girl
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
This is my daughter, Jessica, one cold cold day at a park in McKinney, Texas.
Photograph of Photographer Photographing the Sunset … at Sunset
Monday, September 7th, 2009
I snuck up behind Kathy at the Morton Arboretum last weekend…
Ren Faire Hotties
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Probably two of the most photographed women at this faire.
