An homage to noir:

The interesting thing about working with more models lately is that is has given me an appreciation for the things that got me started as a photographer in the first place. This image of Tina is a perfect example of that. For the first time in many months, Tina and I do an “official” shoot. I love working with Tina for so many reasons, many of which I could never quite explain to anyone. I think one of the things about photographing people that I find so fascinating is that if you believe in what you are doing and are passionate about it, you can create wonderful images. They do not have to be a “model” to achieve this. In a way, we are all models just waiting to bust out. Unfortunately, most of society watches too much T.V. and has forgotten what real people are like.

I do not watch television.

…So, I have not.

Reality is truly beautiful.

Tina, you are beautiful and the best model I have ever worked with.
