NOW BOOKING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY - send me a message on myspace or at mojokissphoto@gmail.com - i only charge what i have to.

Please stay tuned as my life journey proceeds into the unknown. The farther i progress, the more familiar i become with this world, both the personal one i'm experiencing and the one i presume we are collectively experiencing. The photos slowly start to tell a story and my expressions become less experimental and more deliberate while also being of a more and more pure origin, being that which i feel, and know and want to purify and capture for the sake of my photographic expressions. I hope the viewer will place the right amount of importance on my newest works in the light of my whole body of work, in that all are collective, tho time places one after another, neither is more precious, the new or the old, but where i stand is where my next step will proceed from. it will not be convenient for most of you, so just enjoy watching if nothing else. if you want to know me, and understand me, it will be a long process, or it will require an open mind, and patience. but, I think some of you can know me with one glance, if you have a special gift within your eyes. I feel we can percieve truth with all and any of our senses but that the eyes bear the burden the greatest but are most vulnerable to betray us.

i still have www.mojokiss.com which forwards to my blog and pics at tumblr.com. I use it because it allows me to connect to an audience without censoring my images unless i want to censor them. I've withdrawn from many of the online communities because i feel a sense of not being able to communicate in a productive natural way, and the nature of the content becomes propaganda, spam, etc. my online presence is something i want to be careful with, and keep simple and as natural as possible. I feel if i'm going to express myself, i want to get feedback, not just let my expressions fall on blank space out there. I think a lot of the online space is just like a street preacher shouting and not caring or listening to my voice, as i shout and make available my own sentiments. but my message is my own, its just me sharing some things. I would love that i could share it all, and have it all go some place good, go where it needs to go, but this hasn't happened, so i'm becoming more private, and my words, will now bemore deeply guarded and highly esteemed

I've been doing a lot with photography lately, tho i started out with music since the age of ten.

I enjoy using film and shooting various subjects depending on my environment.

I play guitar, violin, banjo, piano, and write songs and sing as well. i like musicians like Tom Waits and Nick Cave and there are so many others. I also like music by Luke Vibert and the likes.

I went to college several times - wasnt really cut out for it tho i did have a full scholarship to one school i went to.

I like the atmosphere of candles, low light, gentle rain, soft music, ancient and mystical tones and vibes. I love pure earth materials that heal through the senses.

I enjoy people who are comfortable with themselves and aware and considerate of others and who love life and believe in the beauty inside.

If you've read this far, i like to work with people who i get along with on a deeper level. I'm not looking for fly by night models to work with. I dont like anything rushed or thoughtless.

High End Promotional Photography - is something i am very capable of but this is something that starts around $500 and i dont even use the gear i use for my own shoots for this. I rent stuff out and get several people to help out to make it an image that pops and to make the shoot go smooth. This goes for bands, night clubs, etc. Mostly noone can afford these kind of shoots, and so i dont really advertise them. Its a lot of work, so i dont offer these as "fun" shoots for myself.

I've been published several times and I am still working with national magazines on a personal basis providing images as needed.

I compose and perform music. I've also been a teacher here and there when i find a good student. I've played on a lot of albums, some grammy nominated. I've performed for around 100,000 unique people in my life not to mention world wide satellite and radio as far as siberia via analogue radio signal from Alaska. But I am not, nor have i ever been a "full time professional touring musician". I have always run away from the working side of things, tho i was with the biggest entertainment agency in central FL. I've fallen out of grace with the hospitality scene. Now I just work in studios. I dont have to tour, and i dont have to get dressed up so its idea. I do, however have to show up to the studio and take as many takes as i must, in the key of F# on a fretless instrument till its perfect.

be well, and contact me if you please.
