Pin-Ups, Push-Ups, and Pictcha's!

About Me

I am the editor of No-Fi "Magazine" and after 10 years, I'm finally opening up to shooting for other publications and sites.
I work mostly in the Southern California area, but sometimes travel to other states where I would probably like to shoot while I'm there. I hope to visit New York, Portland, Nevada, and Arizona in the next year.
My influences: are all over the place. Russ Meyer, Helmut Newton, Dan DeCarlo's pre-Archie Comics Pin-Up Art, Art Frahm's paintings, Harold Lloyd's Pin-ups, Men's Magazines from the 50's and 60s, Mad Magazine, Old magazine and album covers, etc, etc... Basically, I am very influenced by retro style, but I am open to do a lot of different types of shoots.
More about me:
I am also the co-host of The Burlesque Podcast . I've appeared recently on the HDNet cable show DEADLINE in 2008 and also appeared on the HBO cable show SEXBYTES in 1997. Since early 2008 I've been hosting burlesque shows for SHIMMY & SHAKE, DOLLS OF FOX, and others.
I'm not going to be adding a lot of people to this profile... Only people who are serious about working with me in some kind of photography or design capacity or people I know personally (or personal friends of people I know personally). I created this profile in order to better keep in touch with people I'd like to work with as models.

My Interests

Weird Films, Strange FIlms, Weird Music, Strange Music, Independent Music, Pin-Up Photography, 50's and 60's Furniture, Adventures to strange places, Bizarro L.A., Finding cool photoshoot locations, Independent Music, Independent Movies, and more soon...

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people to take photos of. Guys or gals are fine. My specialty is Pin-Up Photography, but I'm open to most everything.

I'm also looking for alternative and retro style clothing companies who would like to sponsor photoshoots for No-Fi "Magazine" or other publications or projects I shoot for.

Do Not: add me if you are a girl collector.
Do Not: add me if you are in a band that just wants me to hear your music (unless I know you personally or you want me to do your photos or album design). That's why we have the No-Fi "Magazine" profile .

Don't forget to come see me hosting THESE shows:
