Hi All

Hope you have had a good weekend.
Yesterday I went to my Gabby's sisters 12th Birthday party .happy Birthday for yesterday Sally . It was the first kids party I had been to since I was a kid - boy have they changed, except for the squabbling and fighting of course
Then took Gabby for a driving lesson,also gave her a chance to ecape the bedlam. She is coming along really well

Was up at 5-30 am to meet Eden at Reculver Towers at 6-30. Had a great shoot, beautiful morning , beautiful lady and the chance to stand tackle deep in the sea taking pics - invigorating We then trundled of to an abandoned graveyard for Fetish pics. Finally sat and set the worlds to rights for a couple of hours in the sun.
Lots of bare boobs, just in case anyone wants to avert their eyes now

Just about to eat something that is supposedly fish pie but looks suspiciously like , no , cant say it, but has to do with what babies do often. Will write more another day if I survive

Take good care of yourselves

Dave

Hi All

Hope you are having as good weather as we are in Kent

Just put up some images from my last shoots. My cyborg glamour model with my Gabby Gothe. The cyborg Geisha/pinup and throat cut with an incredibly nice girl - Sophia, and some more location nudes with the very beautiful and incredibly daring, not to mention mad Tahlia
Hope you like them.

Anyone want to give an opinion on this - I received an email today, from a model, saying I am doing too many location nudes, and a lot of alternative models will not work with me anymore because of this as they are "choosy" who they work with.
A few years ago I was voted most offensive photographer on a model/photographer site for an image depicting a crucifiction of a female model, which was said to be blasphemous, insulting and degrading to women ( inasmuch as this guy was kicked off the site two weeks later for running a racist website)
So has the wheel come full circle and its now the alternative model community that finds me offensive?
By the way I have both mainstream and alternative models booked to work with me until the middle of September
Its a strange world, why do people have to make an issue out of things, I do photography simply beacuse I enjoy it - whether mainstream or alternative .

Hi All

Here comes the weekend!!

Got another disc of my work on tuesday, thank you whoever
But this time when I looked at the pics, something had changed, I had gone for a long time thinking that the images where the best I had ever shot and I would never do better. But this time I realised they were no better than any others that I had taken, some I will love and are in my opinion brilliant, but i can say that about many images I have taken. I think time has taken the scales of love from my eyes and now I can see a lot of things realistically. So there are just two images which I like enough to put up. I will always be proud of the work we did together,she was a fantastic model and incredibly creative.

Got shoots with my dear Gabby ( tomorrow) Sophia Disgrace ( Sunday) and Tahlia ( monday) Plus an interview with a paper in about 10 minutes.
Hopefully will have another prosthetic/make up artist to work with very soon too!!

Well off to comb my hair and practice being witty ( ha!!) for the press

Have good weekend people

Just a quickie, today is my dear Gabrielle Gothe's 21st Birthday

Happy 21st Sweetheart!!

Have a great day

Love You

Dave xx

Blimey O'Crikey!!

Two sunny days on the trot, after losing two shoots at the weekend to rain and having my poor Gabby frezing on a windswept beach on Sunday, its nice to feel the warmth.

A new site celebrating the friendship between Gabby and I has just come online. My nepehew Toby , made it, only his second attempt and I am very proud of what he has done.
The site is [link] . Its a collection of images from when we first met, until the current day. It shows how Gabby has changed on the outside and how she has grown, become more confident and developed true self esteem.
I owe her a lot, her friendship, creativity, support, mad sense of humour and unbelievable sensitivity have helped me get through my own dark times. Thank you Gabby

Well, loads happening, more shoots for the animal welfare charities and conservation centres , More shoots for my books, TV interview with Gabby about our poster campaigns, Newspaper interview for the same.I am fortunate to have bookings up until mid- August now. So as long as the fates decide to smile on me, things are not bad

So, off out to have a meal, first time for ages, will be interesting to eat with a knife and fork

Have good week people

Dave
