This photograph of @scaryladysarah.bsky.social from 1994 was shot in a Chicago loft under rehabilitation. The location was perfect because it had the best ambient window light AND tons of props to play with. Shot with the Mamiya 645. #latex #fetish #highheels #analog

This was an experimental series that I did circa 1995 with @scaryladysarah.bsky.social in which both of us were blindfolded. Shot on 35mm Tri-X with a Canon AE1. Full description in the alt text. #latex #gloves #fetish
From a series I was working on in the mid ‘90s, it’s Scary Lady Sarah photographed while both her and I were blindfolded. We communicated by voice to help me determine where to aim the camera to hopefully get something interesting out of the attempt. For focusing, I had my index finger at the top of the ring which indicted 5 feet - if she seemed further or closer, I would adjust the ring accordingly. I got lucky only a few times. The photographs appeared in my first book The Beauty of Fetish (Edition Stemmle, 1998).
