As it happens, I am often at a loss for words when it comes to relating my thoughts and feelings about a given subject. It is perhaps because I consider myself to be a person with a concentration of acute visual aesthetics, rather than that of the written word. So looking at the expression of a photograph such as the one before you, makes one feel in a certain way, yet should I try to express this feeling in words, I risk failing its impact on the viewer, to fall short of the true message expressed by the image itself. When an image is complex in design and content, words can add to its meaning and help the viewer to better understand the artist’s intended expression. However, when words cannot do justice to the art, it is best left wordless of description, leaving the image open to interpretation by the viewer to react, hopefully in an emotional way.

Mood and attitude are the two components that I try to convey with each image. In this image I have well achieved both. I especially am happy with the background which is an art piece created by my wife and artist Mary Bogdan. It is called "Playing Battle Dress Up." I don't want to take away any attention from my model, but the art behind her is one of Mary's most controversial pieces amongst many. She certainly makes us want to take a closer look.

When writing about my photographs I often weave in and out between writing about my model specifically, women in general and my own point of view of women or my photography as the art form that I have chosen to portray my subjects in. One thing is usually obvious to most who view these photographs. And that is that I bestow the ultimate respect upon the women who have entrusted me with their vulnerability of nude or semi-nude posing. They have exposed themselves to my lens and have offered their ultimate expression of erotica. The intended pose as well as the resulting photograph, both are with an end to provoke and arouse the imagination of the viewer. Elise and I both hope that we have done justice to this mission.

Spring has finally sprung. The streaming sun kept the room warm with natural heat, as Elise allowed her body to bask in it. What a way to spend a warm and lazy Sunday afternoon, just sunning and relaxing. View the large version. I was interviewed for Magic Places Fine Art on-line photography magazine.

I celebrate this new year of my life with the appearance of Camille in my stream. My artistic tribute to femininity. I feel very privileged to have had this visit from her on this bright sunny day. I took advantage of the streaming natural rays and avoided using any artificial supplementary lighting. Not my usual style of working. The experience was challenging, elating and of course delightful. Camille made it more so. A natural beauty, she is confident in her poses and an admirable artist and collaborator. This image is worth viewing large, of course. At this point I would also like to extend an invitation to all my contacts. As I have exceeded 6,000, I can no longer do it through Flickr's "invite" feature. They say it is too weak to handle such numbers. So here goes... At first I didn't think it would be too cool or modest of me to invite people to my own fan club. How self-indulgent this would appear. So I held off for as long as I could. But then Mary Bogdan, the creator of the group, artist extraordinaire and loving wife, said to me that I owe it to all my friends on Flickr and that who better to have access to my fans than myself? I thought and thought about it. I realized that as the group grows with friends that are on her and others' lists, the friends who I have selected or who have selected me and who may want to be in the group the most, cannot be ignored and left off the invited list. So here it is. An official invitation to join my fan club by me. Welcome one and all! Unfortunately since I can’t do it through Flickr’s invite feature, you will have to request to join :( Yet another small inconvenience of failed technology. Thank you all for the great support.

Art is about asking questions, not giving answers. I guess, by now, everyone who ever took the trouble to read the texts that accompany my images, has heard my complaints/fears/worries of saying something poignant and relevant to accompany what the images already convey. As an artist I often hope that the visual communication is all that is necessary. However, I have found that the number of comments and responses are far greater when the image is accompanied by a well thought out text. It starts a dialogue that not only makes the images more interesting to the viewer, but also to me. As I create intuitively with images, the words alone can sometimes be quite limited. It is then that the comments left by viewers complete the communication of the art. I want to thank all the Flickr members that have continued to comment on my images and have added so much to their meaning and my own understanding of my art, bringing to light that which have until now only been feelings, sensations and undefined concepts or thoughts. This image, for example, is very appealing to me. As a professional visual artist and aesthete, I recognize the success of this photograph. Technically, it is very sound. Pleasing colour and composition, lighting and drama. The model’s pose is exceptional and the look on her face (and what a face!) is precious. But what does it say to the viewer? What does it say to me? I know it elicits emotion. It certainly does for me. At the very least, a reaction of some kind from whoever sees it. But what does it all mean? I can consider writing an entire scenario about Christy, my model. I could write about her life, aspirations and dreams. Give many answers to explain her expression in both facial as well as body language. But if I do that, I might as well just be a writer rather than a photographer. So I ask myself... writer or photographer? The answer is quite clear. I am a much better skilled photographer than I am writer.

Sometimes my life feels like it is not my own. I feel as if I exist in a borrowed identity. Occupying the body of someone other than myself. A much older man than I am, yet with unlimited energy and creativity. And intellect that comes with much greater maturity than mine. Sadness comes over me, when I realise that this, in fact, is me, but the “newly found” me. Where and when have I wasted so many joyless years? Never stopping to recognize what is important. Using my time of rest as just a time to repose. To empty my mind and replenish physical strength for striving on. Dreams of being an artist were completely forgotten upon awakening. Can this life really be called awoken? Or is the reality of my existence residing inside this imaginary one? So I reflect on many things. Those things that most men fantasize. And women too. Living a life of passion. I have been wishing for it all along, just not remembering it when I awake. A large version of this sensual photograph of Isabella should be see here .

Rightly or not, I think that I have come to the conclusion that much of the reason for our sexually uptight society is our religious institutions. We accept violence much more readily than sex. That is perhaps because the early wars were often due to religious differences, so it was necessary to accept violence in order to make holy war. Come to think of it, we still have holy war declarations today. Are we to accept these beliefs? Has nothing changed? On our trip we happened to attend Good Friday services at Notre Dame Cathedral. This was a wonderful photo opportunity and what better way to express the dichotomy of sex and religion. But I prefer to have this photograph viewed as an expression of reverence for the Sacred Feminine. Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.

In case anyone has noticed, I've been away for a week. How did I manage to stay away from Flickr for ONE WHOLE WEEK!!! Impossible! Mary and I took a small vacation on either side of a long Easter weekend. We decided to go off to France. Our main motive was to go visit our son in Chamonix. But how can we justify crossing the ocean without getting a good dose of Paris. I start my travel log with the Paris Opera. For details, please view large version.
