    Art Nude Duet

    I’ve sometimes been asked, tongue and cheek, why all my images are of female models.  My simple answer is that is my preference.  Nothing against guys, but I love the beauty of the female form.  It’s also seldom I have the opportunity to work with male models, but this year I have had the opportunity…

    ARTFOTO 2017, Bosnia and Herzegovina

    I received good news today from my latest salon entry ARTFOTO 2017.  I was hoping my landscape and travel photos would have an impact but in the end only one image “Upper Antelope” made the acceptance grade.  On a positive note I received two awards for art nudes works: “Joy” and “Cresent Duet” both on…
