Here Comes The Sun

When it flares, it blows a billion tons of it's atmosphere into space at 1 million miles per hour.

Closer to our home, these flares manifest themselves as the aurora borealis (northern lights), wreak havoc with our satellite communications & overload power lines.

Over the years its rays have burned my eyelids, the soles of my feet & other equally tender areas. Penalties I suppose for adhering to the notion that I am somehow impervious to its overwhelming strength.

I prefer it when it is less rambunctious, softly filtering through windows, creating shadows & illuminating skin.

Today I celebrate the lengthening days, the explosion of greens, blues & yellows that will soon dominate the landscape thanks to its rays.

Enjoy this day & the image.

Back To The Future

Ok, so I have been handcuffed lately, & the posts have not been flowing...or at least the words have not.

I have come to this page many times since returning from the road trip, stared at it, uploaded the images & then - nothing. I have written hundreds in my head, jotted ideas & topics in my little note book but somehow they just never made it to these pages.

In my University days I managed a formidable number of A's. My one failure was a third year English class.

The instructor called me to his office to inquire the reason for my not submitting the final paper. My response horrified him a bit I think. "Well Sir, I have written it four times, but none of the drafts are good enough".

"Sir", he replied, "in your later life, no one will ask what your mark was in a particular class, they will only want to know if you managed to get the job done. In future, see that you do".

So, here I go again my friends, back to the future & starting to finish.

Cheers & enjoy today's image of the happily restrained Micheline.

Travel Advisory

I am off gang for a weekend of art, fun & frivolity.

Watch for some on the road posts with (yes Atomic) more images from my traveling mates Abraxis & Zhenja as we wheel our way toward Winnipeg.

We are there for the party of the year, The Border Crossings Magazine Fundraiser.

Stay tuned for more...and enjoy today's photo of the gorgeously inked Ava Adora.

Forgive the protracted delay in posting dear friends.

I am hard at it, shooting content for Notorious, preparing for another show @ Diva's and of course the Ink & Steel book.

Everyone stay in touch & I promise to get on track with the updates.

Ink & Steel - The Quest Continues

It just gets better & better my dear friends.

Today's new model Rima with her fabulous ink from the famed Charlie Whitlock becomes the latest addition to what is shaping up to be a gorgeous book.

The quest for tattooed/pierced subjects continues, & I invite all interested to contact me for details.

That's A Wrap

Saying farewell to the ass end of this year causes me no sadness whatsoever.

And so it ends, dear friends as it has every year since I began shooting, with my best wishes for health, happiness & all that you desire for 2008.

And as is tradition, my first model Azreal is your last image of 2007.

Take Care

The Time of The Season

It is the time of the season to reflect, to celebrate with friends, family & loved ones and to plan for the year that is to come.

For all of the trials & tribulations that I have experienced this year, they pale in comparison to the friendships that have blossomed and grown and the collaborations that have been created.

Party hard & travel safe my dear ones.

We shall carry on through this time and into the New Year.

Cheers dear readers and enjoy the art that is Damaged Pixie.
