This is my best Modeling/Glamor/Fashion photography.
This covers my digital photography.
As well as my early analog 35mm film photos.
I have always loved fashion glamor photography and have had the opportunity to work with some models recently.
I hope to do even more in the near future.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the long journal hiatus.
I have been busy with everything but my photography.

Quick update;

Finally have another flash unit, Canon Speedlite 430exII
Got some wireless triggers, lightstand and umbrella for off camera lighting.
I now have a new website host,  (4ormat.com) at a better price a month.
Have done some personal shoots, a few paid jobs, and  two weddings.
Also I'm going back to shooting film again. And I'm actually excited about that.
Shot some rolls lately with a manual camera and my old Canon Elan IIe.
Its been good, feels like going back to basics. I'm trying to buy an old Nikon F100 just to try out the Nikon brand.

Its not been easy staying motivated. I have a job that requires me to drive alot. So I don't have alot of money for gas to go all the places I want to shoot.
Just so many things in my life that tax my enthusiasm for photography. But  I have another shoot I'm planning in couple of weeks.
And i want to start a blog for my photography. I used to journal a lot in my twenties.
It a bit harder now. The idealism from back then as thinned out.
I don't want to lose my love for this. I feel I have just scratched the surface of my photography.
I just need to push on.

Nuff for now.
Catch you later.
