"Remembrance Stone" I should do more composites. They often transmute into something so much more evocative than the original frame; this one feels like a vague grasp on a memory. With @haleyvalentiine.bsky.social. Using a detail shot of the wall that surrounded us. #artnude #intimatephotography

"The Relaximist" I'm prone to inventing a portmanteau for use as a title, or, in this case, just making up a word. 'Relaximizing' was coined as the opposite of 'maximizing,' and birthed the title here. Again, I present a sexy alternate to a cover I designed, though I do like this original. #artnude

"Deep Declaration" There's many ways to say 'I love you,' but when you say it on the waistband of a pair of panties, it really makes an impression on you—while also making a noticeable impression on her. Model: @anamolly.bsky.social #artnude #intimatephotography #redhead

"Carrion" Another re-imagined album cover using sexier imagery. I thought I'd share the new cover, my original photo (of @kristyjessica.bsky.social) it uses, and the more standard cover it theoretically replaces. Sometimes I like my original covers, but here it was hastily done, and... meh. #artnude

"Follow Me" It was suggested I apply to join Model Society, which I did, and I went through my archive to find the required submissions for review. I'm curious if they'll accept my style as compatible with their mission statement, though. I'm kind of guessing not. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Luminous" Is it wrong to be jealous of light itself? The setting sun finds @zoecwest.bsky.social with such resolute purpose that her skin tone is reflected onto the surrounding trees. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Commuter" A slight variation on the setup I envisioned, so I'm giving it a slight variation on the title I intended to give it: The Commute. @lucymagdalene.bsky.social gave a little manspread into the aisle of the train, which made me laugh. #artnude #intimatephotography

Realizing I never threw an @ivysublime.bsky.social shot on Bluesky. From the end of 2025. Love to work with her again. #bnw #artnude

"Shredded" A quick something from yesterday's shoot with @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. It's kind of fun to get something with the express purpose of wrecking it. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Just Heels" It's tough to express a layered thought process in the limited characters available, so I've bailed on it after half a dozen attempts. This is from September of 2025, with Inna. #artnude #intimatephotography

A Mighty Earthling has landed on Bluesky at @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. Great model, cool person. You can give her a follow. We've got a session coming up next month; meanwhile, here's one from our session in November of last year. #artnude #intimatephotography

Recently posted a shot I took with Sandra last fall, because I was only just getting around to editing that session. After a three month moratoruim from shooting, here's a fresh one with Sandra taken this very day. What a jewel she is. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Memory Loss" Mom was suffering from dementia when she had the stroke that ushered her to death. As the picture guy, I took possession of the family photo albums, some of which had met catastrophic water damage. Before I disposed of them, I photographed some of the pages, which felt poignantly apt.

I've taken so many window light photos, I decided I needed to add 'window' to my Lightroom keywords. Pretty late in the game to make such a retroactive decision, plus scanning the archive has me stopping to edit shots that catch my eye, like this shot of Sandra in Philly last year. #artnude #bnw

"Smother Me" Another image worked into faux album art. It was years before I made the connection that my affinity for the square was probably due my deep love for album graphics. #artnude #graphicdesign #bnw

Slowly making my way through old photo sessions. I don't know if it's just winter, but I've been moving like molasses through my lethargy, despite severely limiting new shoots. I found this one of @meghanclaire.bsky.social and @astridkallsen.bsky.social intriguing, despite being a misfire. #artnude

"Flit" I like to make faux album art for my playlists. I've been doing it since the 90s. Had to crop in a lot for you to notice the focal point of the title—the butterfly—that happened to be in shot with @astridkallsen.bsky.social in this relic of a tub on a hot summer day. #artnude #graphicdesign

Flashing back to last summer with @kristyjessica.bsky.social as I was scrolling through past photoshoots to see if anything would be cool as faux album art. #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

After working through a highly conceptual, post-process focused project with @anastasiamaye.bsky.social, we had time left over, so we played with the idea of high fashion posing in a low fashion outfit. A sweet bonus from burning clock, letting her move as she wanted. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Good Morning!" Starting off strong in 2026. I was able whittle my vision down to a palatable two words: imperfectly sexy. Like when that cute nightie you wore gets twisted around while you sleep. Relatable, human, but still adorably sexy. Model: Lavish Crystal #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

Happy new year! Haven't put up a photo in a while. It felt a little weird cross-pollinating my comments on a local radio event, so I let my account sit for a bit. This is Mighty Earthling from November of last year, right at my house. #artnude #intimatephotography

Do I actually think Blind Melon’s cover of the Schoolhouse Rock song “3 Is A Magic Number” is one of the ten best covers in history? No. But it was on my list because, you know, fun. I have to remember I can just cue it up if it doesn’t make the #xpncountdown one-vote mix tape. But it’s not as fun.

That’ll have to be the consolation prize that Kirtsy MacColl’s “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby” didn’t make the #xpncountdown (but surely got more than just my wife’s vote). Nice Smiths cover.

Still time for Motley Crue’s “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” to sneak in there. #xpncountdown

Nice uptick in Kinks covers in the past hour. #xpncountdown

Siouxsie’s Prudence. The last of my picks I expect to hear. On my wife’s list as well. #xpncountdown

I love that Social Distortion could turn up this high on the #xpncountdown, as it doesn’t seem a very XPN song. But then, I didn’t live here in the ‘90s. Maybe it was big.

Mostly I feel music is out there to be enjoyed, but I’m weirdly possessive of Talk Talk, so I hated that cover of It’s My Life when it came out, convinced I would have to share this thing I loved with the filthy casuals. In the end, most people didn’t know or care it was a cover. #xpncountdown

I’m experiencing a little whiplash in going from from hoping my picks make the #xpncountdown to hoping I’m the only person that voted for it.

Run-DMC almost goes top 100 despite being the example of what doesn’t count as a cover. I have to say, I kind of approve, because I mean come ON, but still. Chaos. #xpncountdown
