His men are classic Hollywood figures, strong, masculine, confident. They force the viewer to sit up, take notice of their command and sexual allure that has no shame or remorse.
We live in a time where nothing is taboo, but somethings are still sacred.
Enter this world with no judgments, no pre-conceived notions of sexuality, fashion or humor, and your eyes will be delighted at the world around you…a world you just may have been missing.
What is your favorite part of a typical day?
twilight. i love when the sun has set but it’s not quite dark yet. i love to go outside in my back yeard, watch my dog sniff and eat grass, smoke a cigarette and watch the stars come out.
What items are on your kitchen table right now?
nothing but a mess, i use it as my desk.
If you could work with anyone, who would it be?
gaga. cause i’m really a 12 year old girl trapped inside, and i love her…
What is your greatest fear?
never living up to what i’ve done
What is your favorite kink?
what isnt?
What is your greatest extravagance?
the time i spend in Photoshop
What was your favorite shoot?
there’s 2 that stand out. for dna magazine, MUD FIGHT, and the second is a mens shoot for reFresh magazine with a guy in suits and a woman dominatrix.
If you had to do something other than shooting sweaty muscle men, what would it be?
i’d be a performer, but huge, like gaga or christina aguilera. i love the gift of opening your mouth and having heaven come out, having the world in awe of you, and the idea of being on stage and making a room cry.
What is your most treasured possession?
my dog, i love him so much. he’s a 4 1/2 catahooula (Louisiana swamp dog) with blue eyes that break my heart, and gives me the best kisses i’ve ever gotten.
What is coming up for you?
i hope good. i’ve been trapped in a web of drama with my family. my 12 year old nephew was diagnossed with brain cancer, my father Alzheimer’s and my mom’s also been sick. i moved upstate to be closer to my family, which at first i hated, then i realized it was good for me, and i was in a good place by being out of a bad place (nyc) i had worn out my welcome in nyc, been doing way too many drugs, and been a mess for far too long.
but im back, creating my own bi-yearly magazine, a t-shirt line, doing more gallery shows, and hopefully making money so i can buy a car..
i’m a simple man, i dont need much, i dont ask much, except to have a happy life, and love what i do everyday, because i do love it, and want to continue.
