    LA Art Show

    LA ART SHOW January 7 – 11, 2026
    LA CONVENTION CENTER 
    West Hall

    I’ll be showing again at the LA Art Show with Fabrik. I hope you’ll come see some color from me. 

    Not really what I do. I have only these 5 pieces.

    I’m of the opinion that color looks too busy and causes your eyes not to flow from space to space in the frame the way it’s meant to be seen like black and white can convey so pragmatically. But California Poppies and Australian Poppies demand color. Egg yolks and Picasso shaped reflections in the water scream for it too. Dogs wearing sunglasses? Do we need color to appreciate the humor? The sunglasses are the plot not the laundry, and not even Fanny, the model. Although it is her perfect doggie. For some reason she has sunglasses for him, of course she does. Unplanned fun.

    I will only be showing these works in LA this year, they are QUITE LARGE and I don’t trust a certain someone’s tariffs. Might cost more than airfare. And I felt like keeping my 1 of 1 color pieces at home in LA.

    I have shows coming up with Fabrik in Mexico City, Milan and London with work more in line with what I normally do. I’ll post some of those works soon.

    my year… my life… and my grief

    I don’t ask anyone to read further, but I have been missing this year. Both my father and my mother passed away and two weeks after my mom went my 19 year old friend (kitty), Niles, passed too. I have been on constant emergency notice since the Palisades Fire started in January. In September, I finally got some sleep. Not having any family member’s to help was really hard. Tell yours to form a Trust so that it makes it easier on everyone.

    It feels weird that I feel like I need to explain an absence from everything. I’ve also grown way less interested in social media drab. Especially with AI aggregating my work during all this and finding it used in some sicko’s portfolio like he actually made the image. So I have been “away.” I know it’s ok to just disappear for a while, I’ve just not been able to respond to a lot of people due to zero energy to do so, time differences, parental emergencies, pet emergencies, and trying to keep myself above water and my work afloat.

    So…

    I can’t wait to be back in Italy… Can’t wait to see Mexico City for the first time… and London is always London where else can anyone get a proper crumpet?

    I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving.

  • A Little Interview + More…

    A Little Interview + More…

    Authority Magazine Interview

    Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?

    I don’t believe there are ever mistakes, only lessons. This wasn’t a “first starting” moment, it was years into being a photographer. Two models and I were at this absolutely gorgeous location, and by the end of the shoot, I went to wind the film in my camera, and oops! no film was in the camera. Luckily for me, they were sympathetic. We went through each photograph I made in my head again, and things probably worked out better. That first run was just a practice session. We did have a few laughs about it, though.

    Have a little CLICK to read it all…

    10th Anniversary of the LA Nude exhibition and book.

    I also made a new “Press” page to list with photo documentation some of the rewarding things I’ve been up to throughout the years. Listing the LeNU X here to pinch myself for being in a show with the likes of these masters. Don Weinstein really knew how to put a show together and I’ll always be thrilled I was part of it. William Claxton, Julius Shulman, Herman Leonard… come on! How did I rate? This was my 7th year as a photographer after transitioning from modeling. I remember someone asking me if I worked at the gallery and explaining to them that I had work on the wall and I was there for the exhibition and to sign books. Yes, girls make fine art too.

    I am still waiting for my book to be launched. Hopefully the new publisher who bought out Vedere Press recently (yeah waiting on all that stuff) can make it all happen before the holidays so I can present my book to all of you by then. They are all signed, waiting on the go button. It will happen! If I need to have all the books shipped to me and do it myself, I will. I’m practicing patience. It takes a lot of practice.

    St. Merrique and I went out into the wilds recently and here is the first image I looked at to apply post to. It was a long hike up to the location for 10 minutes of photo making, but worth it.

    I also had this amazing shoot with my favorite LA Drag Queen, Mizz Tiffany Vogue. This shoot felt righteous due to the absurd political climate. I love drag queens!

    I have so many images to add to the site soon too. So, this is just a little peek at what I’ve been up to.

    Thanks for your enthusiasm!

  • LA Art Show

    A LOT has been happening and I have been completely overwhelmed with busyness that I haven’t been able to tell you all about it. There was a bit of a drought and now its a monsoon. Just like California weather. What month is it? March?

    February was a hit and 1/2 when out of the blue I was invited to participate in the LA Art Show (you can go on a virtual tour here) with Photo Independent. WHAT A SHOW! It’s huge. And to be exhibiting my work there was really wonderful. I met so many interesting and amazing artists and photographers, collectors; and listening to people talk about my work when they didn’t know I was the photographer was fun. It isn’t apparent in some of my work how exactly I do what I do and listening to them examining, out loud, their best guess on how an image was made really threw me off a few times. I let them get it out then went over to tell them how I make my images. The most beautiful thing I saw was a mother TEACHING her child about my work. There is hope for the future. Here are a few photo highlights:

    I have much more to discuss in the coming days. I just approved the proof for the release of my first monograph titled, Sunkissed 85 and I’m headed to Milan to exhibit my work with Photo Independent at the MIA Photo Fair. You can catch me on Instagram for brief updates.

  • Naked Terrain – BG Gallery exhibition – Silvergrain Classics Magazine portfolio and interview

    Happy New Year everyone. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve blogged anything here. So I believe a new years post is in order.

    I didn’t do much shooting this year or last because of the times we live in. Go away Covid! But, I was exhibited and published so I feel like there were some positive accomplishments that can bring a bit of cheer.

    The first: bG Gallery is located at Bergamont Station in Santa Monica. The Naked Terrain exhibit may be seen by clicking HERE>

    This is the video from the April 2021 online exhibition, Naked Terrain. I don’t like speaking on video. It’s scary. So, cut me some slack please. LOL

    Silvergrain Classics Magazine

    They reached out this year to ask me to have a portfolio in their amazing magazine devoted to everything analog. Just about every accomplished photographer still using film graces their pages. National Geographic photographers, world wide published and exhibited photographers, masters and somehow me. (self deprecating humor aside…) It was a really nice end to a really sort of blah year because of Covid.

    You may purchase the issue I’m included in HERE>

    A very lovely written interview by Karin Majoka is included. It was great speaking with her about my work. She really listened and took what I said and depicted it correctly in what she wrote about me in the magazine. Such an honor to have someone see me and translate that into print.

    So this year wasn’t bad at all.

    Happy New Year everyone. Thank you for the bright spots and here’s to many more in 2022!

  • Apple Pics

    Had a great time talking at the Santa Monica Apple Store about iPhone photography. I saw some great pictures and showed a few of my own. And thank you to Christian Peacock for the photographs!

  • I bit the Apple and the Apple bit back

    If you didn’t already know, I take a lot of photographs with my iPhone. I’ve written about iPhone apps and have been featured on Ovation TV. Now I have the honor of speaking at the Santa Monica Apple store on November 11, 2010 about the art of the iPhone and the process I go through when I make my pictures. I AM A GEEK! Yes, I know. But, it’s really fun to make iPhone pictures.

    The Apple Store: Nov 11, Santa Monica, Third Street Promenade, 7 p.m.
