About me:
Please bless and protect our troops wherever they may be!! Bless also their families,
who wait with endless fear but with eternal hope!!

Within the next few months THIS SITE will be GONE permanently. NO date for this closing has been set yet.. If you wish to contact me, please email me directly.

I'm a very serious artistic freelance american photographer who is a floater and a wanderer, seemingly lost on the streets of San Francisco, having returned to live (but not of my decision and NOT happily here) in the states after decades of being away, missing the spanish hot sol and the glorious rolling fields full of spanish sunflowers as far as the eye can see... I'm now also missing the friendliness and beauty of Eugene, Oregon and the great expanse of the NorthWest. sigh. The place I previously called home in southern Spain was nestled on the coast of beautiful Cadiz province of southern Spain - Andalucia - the best region of Spain, and the warmth of the southern Spain sunlight and people! This remains a path of rediscovery being the first time I'm living in SF since my departure to join the military in the late 70s.

Need fotos?

View samples of my work by clicking on the "View My: Pics or Videos"; just click on Pics and there are albums just full of fotos of my previous and current work and updated on an infrequent basis. Like my images? Please email and let me know! ;-) I'd love to hear your comments! NOTE: All displayed images are copyrighted and please do not copy/download these images.

What type of imagery do I create?

Travel, landscape, sunsets, clouds, wildlife, buildings, people and more. I also enjoy photographing people to create portraits of individuals, babies, families, couples and more. Need a moment in the life of a senior, teen or child recorded? My greatest passions are those of the human landscape; my specialities are intriguing artnudes, sensual bodyscapes and erotic bodyparts, not to be confused with what is cooking for dinner tonight. Please email me if you agree that the nature of the human body is beautiful, and want/need images for yourself, your significant other, or for your walls!

Are you a model or aspire to be?

I can create your portfolio or update an existing portfolio. I love creating artistic creative imagery that will surprise you and show off your best features... I can also help you build a web presence! I am again UNemployed, so I am almost "available" to shoot sometimes at a moment's notice in the Bay Area. TFP/tests will cost you the session fee at the very minimum. Contact me if you are interested in a foto session!! My rates are very reasonable!

Looking for a vacation rental apartment in southern Spain?
HEY!!! My one-bedroom apartment is now available for vacation rentals. Except for two days of rain, the weather during my January 2008 stay has been mainly clear skies and warm (mid-70s) weather ..... Ideal location and stay for a single person who needs to get away to a quiet restful place for a few days or weeks. Contact me for fotos and details. See my updated photo album for pics created of the great sunsets I saw/captured during my stay in Rota in January of 2008! Why view these pics when you can experience the real thing? See the colors for youRself!! If you are not able to see the apt pictures here, please see them in my account at pix.ie. Interested and want to see what Rota is made of? Visit my website of Rota AT geocities.com/photocity.


CURRENT MOON in the Bay Area
Who I'd like to meet:
SERIOUS honest sane persons who have a real interest in photography, as well as also meeting with other photographers to discuss our passions and dreams. if you're a REAL & true model - or an sincere aspiring model for that matter (I've discovered quite a few "models" who state they are actively modeling, in a five-word reply by email then disappear without another word to Mars) - contact me if you ARE serious and would like to update your existing portfolio. I can work in any type of weather and have very reasonable rates. also would enjoy meeting those sharing my interests: cooking, Spain and Andalucia (Cadiz), traveling, photography in general....

Are you a model (or a model wanna-be?) and want to be featured in my model shoots album, or on one of my other websites promoting photography? First step is to be in the Bay Area, or traveling here soon. Then we schedule a foto session and soon after.....

I might lose my hands; my cameras might break (again) or I might die while jay-walking in the City (da cars don't stop here!), or I might be lucky enough to die and become famous finally! So, don't wait too long!!!

I agree on the learning and how rare it is, also, can't stand to see a parent drag their child along making them run.

So sad.

Thanks for the comment.
