My favorite photographer ever is the late great Herb Ritts. He was a master of using direct sunlight to create his iconic images. During this session, I tried my best to channel his energy to capture beautiful angles, shapes and shadows.

This is the hottest I have looked in years. I save this photo to look at when I need confidence. Being a model & working photo shoots takes confidence. Shout out to all the models working to love themselves to make art for the world to consume. And to the consumers of our art who lift is up.

This is one of the most stunning crinoids in my collection. Gennaeocrinus mourantae from the Devonian Arkona Fm. of Ontario. A large pocket of these were found decades ago and very few have been found since.
