General Information

NOW ENTERING THE DRAMA FREE ZONE. HAVE FUN HERE AND BE SERIOUS ABOUT OUR WORK. LEAVE THE POWER TRIPS AND ALL THAT CRAP OUTSIDE. BE REAL.

My work is what it is. What is it? It is a captured image of a subject. Images posted on this site are usually beautiful models as the subject. Make no mistake about it, I shoot for them, and NOT for accolades of others. That others would appreciate the beauty of the model, or even the skill of the capture does warm and humble me and I'm appreciative of that, but glory, fame and praise is not my motivation to be here. I do not compete with other photographers. You will never hear me say that I am 'the best' at this craft. Those who feel compelled to continually blow their own horn should be sure their fly isn't unzipped. Humility does not suggest the absence of strength, but rather the presence of it.

"Grasshopper, the true Master never has to say he is." Old blind dude from 'Kung Fu'

** My deepest gratitude to those who voted for my work in the Artistic Nude Competition. To finish in First Place among so many gifted and talented photographers is quite humbling and heart-warming. Thank you so much. **

I do NOT shoot nude! PLEASE DO NOT ASK!! I shall remain clothed at all times no matter how much you beg and plead!

**TFP** I'm a professional photographer and I do get paid for my work. If all my work was free, then there would be no studio, lights, cameras, editing and printing equipment... well, no SouthBound. Occasionally I do testing and TFP/CD work with exceptional models, and I also do content trades sometimes with models who have their own websites. Be realistic. Look at my work, and if you believe that your look and my skills will enhance the quality and variety of both our books, then contact me for this type of work. Otherwise, my rates are most reasonable. Ask me about portfolio packages which include a Platinum OMP page.

** PLEASE MAKE YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PUBLIC** so I know who you are. Hey, we can all use some encouragement. Looks like I've been bookmarked over 600 times that are not public. Go ahead! Don't be chicken :).

PLEASE NOTE: All models linked to my page do have their own e-mail addresses. If you write to them and they do not write you back, it's simply their choice not to. I only help them manage their portfolios and do not book them for projects. I help them because they asked, and because they're dear friends, each and every one.

Art is subjective. So why are there so many experts? Do you really need someone to tell you what is beautiful? Is the 80 year old Native American man, bent and wrinkled with age as beautiful as the perfectly formed nude female? No, if all you see is the physical. But look closer. See the character, the honor, the integrity, the wisdom. See the humor in his eyes because he knows things you don't. See the pain he conquered. Now capture all THAT with your camera and tell me which image brings a tear to your eye. If it touches you, it is art.

I do believe that photographs are captured fractions of seconds of time, frozen. Could it be that hundreds of years from now, someone will see what we made? I hope so. Maybe they'll say: hmmm... nice work. For what it's worth, it's what I leave.

Take care.
Don
