Or in other words: Frequently Asked Questions
From time to time, I notice some resounding questions that come up about how I work or about my work, so I'll answer a few questions here.
To answer some of the frequently asked questions:

Where do you find your models?
I find models through email, model websites, clubs, friends, etc. When all of your friends know that you're a photographer, word gets around to girls who like to pose.

Where are you located?
In Seattle, Washington.

Will you be coming out to the east coast (USA) anytime soon?
I made a trip to Washington DC 2005. I don't currently have any traveling plans, although I'm always free to travel for hired-work.

You look young, how old are you?
As of Jan 2008, I'm 31.

Film or digital?
I work with film. Lately, on some pretty rare occasions I'll actually shoot on a digital camera but pretty much everything is all film. Developed in my kitchen if it's black and white or at a local lab if it's color.

Do you have any gallery shows coming up?
I don't have any shows coming up anytime soon that I know of. It costs a lot of money to display my work for shows. I prefer to do all the matting and framing for my prints so it can be a little time consuming to put together several pieces of work for a show.
Believe it or not, there aren't too many people that buy erotic photography prints. Imagine having a framed print of a half naked, 20-something model in latex hanging by the dinner table while your parents are visiting. Most people hide whatever kinky paraphernalia they own when they have company.

Outside of photography, what are your interests?
While my photography interests dominate a large chunk of my personal time, I tend to find the following subjects interesting;
Beer - Belgian ales, especially!
Asian & Mexican culture - I find it fascinating.
Crime, true and fictitious - I like reading stories about underground crime rings, heists, organized crime, etc. I'm not so much a fan of stories about serial killers and the like.
Sci-Fi - I love the new Battlestar Galactica series. It's really too bad that it airs every Friday night which is usually when I'm out clubbing with friends. Other than that, some favorites are Star Trek, with the exception of Deep Space Nine. I'm also somewhat of a discriminating sci-fi fan. It's hard for me to really enjoy a sci-fi flick without noticing some of the cliche, conventions in-use like: light-speed travel, artificial gravity, no language barriers, aliens exhibiting vertebrate features... the list goes on. Most of the time, I'll overlook a few of those cliches for the sake of being entertained.
Friends and family - I like to hang out with my friends and family. You may occassionally see some pretty goofy pictures of me with my friends caught in the middle of our usual late night hijinks.

More questions will be added as they come along.
