What's new...


I just got a publicity that broke the record for absurd timing!!!

It always drives me nuts that today we seem to be going from one holiday to the next always driving people to buy more and more in pretty much all the stores... In January we see stuff for Valentines day, the day after valentines the Easter stuff goes up, then it's Mother's day, Father's day then it's back to School sales starting in July, September for Halloween and finally October they start the Christmas season (usually even before Halloween's finished)...

To get back to the stupid publicity I got.... The title was "WARNING!!! Next Winter, Winter tires will be mandatory by law!!!" or something like that...

Do they really think I give a sh*t??????

We just got through one of the worst Winters in history (and I absolutely HATE Winter), spring is just starting and the snow isn't even finished melting here yet!!! Can we please just enjoy the Summer without being bothered by moronic ads warning us that we need to buy Winter tires in 7 months? What do they expect? Are they so delusional that they actually expect that I'm going to rush out the door and go buy Winter tires (and pay to have them stored for the Summer months on top of that)?

Well I'm certainly never ever ever going to go to that store!!!

Ok... I feel better now... :)

Requests to use my photos...

I've received quite a few requests to use my photos for a variety of purposes and I always give the following answer... The answer is "No, my photos are not stock, they can't be used, referenced, modified, copied or whatever..."

Here is the reason why...

1. The agreement I have with my models (a lot of whom are also close friends) is that the photos will not be used or modified by someone other than myself or the model. I value the trust they have put in me to make sure that the portrayal of them or the concept we created together will remain under our control. If I gave permission to use the photos I lose part of that control and in a sense I violate the trust of my friends and creation partners and I will never accept doing that.

2. I feel that the images I create with the models are very personal... I and the model put a lot of ourselves in the work and I can't stand to see it modified, copied or used... When that happens I feel it is no longer as much mine and that I lose the part of myself I've put in the project and in the photo.

So that being said, all unauthorised uses are prohibited. No permission to manipulate/reference will be given for any of my work displayed here or on any other sites I use, unless you have commissioned me to create some photos for you or you have licensed one or more of my photos...
