Hallo! I'm a fine art painter, mostly, but I recently got a shmancy camera to take photos of my paintings and things went all to hell.

I like blur, I like grain. I like black and white and eye-ripping colors, but not a whole lot in between. My painting style is pretty loose, and this is translating to photography surprisingly well; I don't have any real interest in perfectly crafted, flawless photos unless they happen while I'm not looking. I'm currently obsessed with Ellen von Unwerth and Weegee.

What I've got so far:

I would like to trade your time for a CD of the good photos we get.

I'm just starting and would like to work with models around my experience level. I'm not generally interested in Barbie types -- but come on down if you dress weird or have jug ears like an extra from a Coen brothers movie.

I don't care if all you have so far are bathroom-mirror pics--let's go somewhere interesting and get you some interesting pictures! We'd meet first and talk about what you'd like to have in your portfolio, that sort of thing.

Thanks!
