[i]I am now taking applications for Muses. Someone who is inspired by my work as well as inspires me.

[b]MUSE (my��z)
any goddess presiding over a particular art. the goddess or the power regarded as inspiring a poet, artist, thinker, or the like.
A guiding spirit. A source of inspiration. the source of an artist's inspiration.[/b][/i]

At this time I am working on a few art projects. All involve FILM and I am mainly shooting Pinhole Photography up to 4x5, Holga and Holgaroid. All involve creativity.



While most photographers shoot digital I still only shoot film. As a matter of fact I just took a step backward to 1950's technology and purchased a couple of medium format, Twin Lens Reflex Mamiyas. The beauty of the square format.

I also shoot Pinhole, Holga, and various toy cameras and film sizes from 4x5 to 35mm, including paper negs.

I will be traveling/doing volunteer work in India from Late April-June. Also looking to shoot with any available models in the areas I travel.

I consider myself more artistic in my approach. I don't shoot for money, I shoot because I like the idea. At the same time, I don't work with models who just say "Pay me $xxx and I will shoot with you." I shoot because I love it and love trying to create different and unique images. I am looking for someone who is interested in my work and look, who wants to collaborate with me, not someone who only shoots for money, go find your GWCs elsewhere, but not here.

I have problems keeping track of everyone from ModelMayhem. PLEASE e-mail me npgvegas AT gmail.com (no spaces) with your name and MM # as the subject header. It will speed things up since ModelMayhem is slow at times

I am old school, I shoot only film and process, develop, and print all of my own work. I don't shoot digital. I like to make the image happen in my viewfinder and not afterwards. I have to see the light, shadows, etc., to know how they will look or make them fit what I want before I take the photos, and don't manipulate them after.

I have had my photograph
