“Ernie was a sheer joy to work with. I've worked with quite a few photographers as a burlesque dancer, but my shoot with Ernie was the first that I felt comfortable going completely nude. His professional, yet cheeky, presence in the studio not only made me feel completely at ease, but it actually inspired me to give as much sensuality to the camera as I could. Ernie even demonstrated pose concepts for me! (I think Ernie secretly wants to model!) I would certainly pounce on the opportunity to work with him again.”

Obsessions, fetishes and other assorted bad habits and over indulgences:
Dark art/photography vampires fallen angels goth Ghost haunting paranormal true crime stories forensic psychology B&W photography and tattoos. Being a freak My best friend/wife, Darlene, who is as a great mother and opposite of me.
Dislikes, annoyances, pet peeves and otherwise quick ways to piss me off:
Cruelty to children and animals the legal system politics crowds stupid people having my personal space invaded loud people dramatically challenged adults teen drama queens and emo bullshit (you don't know what pain and suffering is until you have a mortgage payment AND shitty Homeowner's Association fees hounding your ass every month) insincerity people who lie inflatable implants and body parts rotting away at work for hours dust racists hypocrites and judgmental religious zealots.
Music
I like everything from rock to rap. Staind, Evanescence, Creed, Guns N Roses, Eninem, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Doug E. Fresh, Kool Mo Dee, Kurtis Blow, all the pioneers of rap. My all time favorite is classic R&B. I love artist like Luther Vandross, Babyface, Brian McKnight, Mary J. Blige, Glady's Knight, Four Tops, Temptations, Etta James, Rick James, Smokey Robinson. Basically anything Motown.
My favorie singer is Christina Aguilera and my favorite bands are Evanescence, Flyleaf & Staind. Amy Lee has a freakin awesome voice. I also like a band called "TSU Shi Ma Mi Re" They are an all girl Japanese rock band. No, I don't speak Japanese. I saw them at a Suicide Girl Burlesque show. They freakin rocked. The bass player is the best I have ever heard. I have their song on my page. If you never heard them you should check them out. They kick ass!!!
Movies
Godfather, Scarface, Star Wars, Scream Trilogy, Saw 1,2, & 3, Underworld, Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, Pirates of the Caribbean. Basically Sci-Fi and Mobster movies. Always in the mood for a good comedy though.
One of my favorites is The Breakfast Club!

About me: I am married to a wonderful woman and have four great kids. Originally from Southern California I moved to Oklahoma in 1994. What I miss most about Califronia is the thrill rides. I love rollercoasters. I am a fanatic about them. The adrenaline rush is kick ass. The bigger the better. I have some piercings but only in my ears. Not really looking for any more. I think tattoos are an awesome expression of art. I love to draw tattoos and get them. I think tattoos on a woman are so damn sexy.
So I ventured out and decided to take my photography to a deeper level. I started a business with my photography and its called, "Inked Photography". My goal is to show people that not all models are plastic and barbie dolls. To keep this short you know I love tattoos, tattoo models, pin-up, 50's & 60's look. Especially girls with tattoos. Not to say I just want to shoot tattoo models but that is the direction I want to go. I already have a hairstylist and make-up artist that will work with me. If your interested e-mail at:
inkedphotography@yahoo.com
or feel free to contact me here.
Interested in Shooting:
*Tattoo
*Pin up
*Retro
*Alternative Fashion/Style
*Artistic implied nudity
*Dark/Gritty
*Dark Glamour
My goal as a photographer is to capture the art of tattoos and the female & male body. Add to the beauty of the female body the artwork of tattoos and you have a true masterpiece. I want to start a work of my collection that and show the true side of beauty within. More and more women are getting tattoos these days, ranging from the gothic to the house mom. I want images to range from focusing on the artwork to the personality of the women and men, from showcasing the woman in her barest form to the highest fashion while always emphasizing the beauty of the female form. You can see some of my work in an upcoming issue of Urban Ink magazine.
If you have a tattoo of any size, are over the age of 18. Please send me an email with a description of your tattoo to inkedphotography@ yahoo.com. Photo shoots typically will not last longer than an hour. You do not have to be a model, in fact I am looking for the everyday woman, and nudity is not a requirement (although implied might be needed to show your artwork). My goal is to showcase house moms, punk, gothic, fetish, retro, pin-up, or whatever style you may be.
