I’ve been trying to pick some of my favorite images from my Mexican festival that I like the best. It’s really hard to choose what one’s will be “the one” when you work with such amazing models. Every image just seems like it’s just as good as the other. Trimming is tough. I might not be done for quite some time. In a normal situation I may shoot once or twice a month, so I have ample time to digest each shoot. The festival I put on is like one or two shoots per day for 8 days. So that’s like 6 months crammed into a week. Is 20 OK? 30? 10? Are there rules? I have my own rules I place upon myself, but sometimes I wonder if I’m being hard enough on myself. I’m sure every photographer does. If you click on “full screen” you can see them bigger, but they may get pixelated due to the fact I never put large files on the web. Prints are ALWAYS so much prettier.

I just had one of the most awesome adventures in Mexico at the artist retreat I put on once a year, Zoe Fest. It was the 10th annual get together of models and photographers from my websites, ARTnudes Network and Communityzoe.com. You can follow our group blog at http://www.figuremodels.org/festx and check out all the great work everyone created while we were all together.
I’ll write more about that subject soon. Just wanted to share a few images I created. I’m 1/2 way through all my processing, cataloging, scanning and editing. I can’t believe it! Definitely check out the group blog. It’s really awesome seeing what a group of photographers and models who are passionate about figure photography can do when they all get together. I love these people!
more soon…

Some things in your head are hard to describe. Some times you need the right models to understand.
Floofie and St. Merrique + one box of Type 55 Polaroid and a roll of Ilford 120 50 ISO, a Speed Graphic and Rolleicord. My favorite way to work.

Just a little break in the monotony… Had a lovely shoot a couple days ago and will post the Chocolate Polaroid images soon. I have fallen in love with Chocolate Polaroid and it fits on my Holga, which is even more edible! YUM. So, stay tuned. Until then enjoy my iPhone Nude from the location processed with Hipstamatic and a few other funky apps.
