still updating . . .

You'd think WYSIWYG editors would be easy. But noooo . . .

Well, not for me, cuz I've been doing the hand-coding for so long, I always wanna get my hands dirty. The "easier" an app makes something, the more frustrated I become at how limiting it is, for me *s

Okay, so, I'm working on the catalog of still images. I just haven't quite figured out a design for all that. It's a huge undertaking.

Meanwhile, I'm hearing from the Claiming Masculinity participants that they want their pages restored! Ooookay. At the moment, I've put up redirect pages, for those of you who have direct links to particular spots that no longer exist (Linus. Darling. What were you thinking? 134 links to a single page??), so everything redirects to the new pages.

Will someone please poke Joe Mario to get his cute little ass back over here, for his second set? I can't do anything, until he models for the rest of the shoot. Mm hmm.

I'd also like to catch up with the rest of you participants, during my downtime, if you get a chance. So call or email me. Big Daddy Dre: this means you xo

Don't be alarmed. Repeat: do. not. be alarmed.

I'm moving my site.

:: gulp ::

Listen: I have way too much work to keep hosting everything at Dust Jacket. I never expected this little photography thing to expand . . .

There will be links, and I'll leave basic pages at Dust Jacket, during the transition.

Because my work is not for profit (yes, I still shoot primarily for free, and put all the paid work back into the other projects), I'll still be affiliated with Dust Jacket, so it's just moving next door *s

Art of Scars is a project I'm just loving—that might seem an odd statement, about a trauma survivor project, but hell, I'm a survivor, too. These are my people *s

I have openings in December (horrible month for trauma survivors, ack) so, if there are those who would like to work with me, either privately or for my project, please see my bookings page, for information on how to work with me for free, and for rates. We'll muddle through the glitz and madness together, while ensuring you're seen the way you wish to be, mm hmm.

No travel plans, at the moment. There's a lovely little femme I'm hoping to shoot in Ontario, at my next opportunity. When/if I head out that way, I'll post a notice here.

Thanks to everyone for sticking with me,

On Stills

Several people have asked about still photos for my website.

The first time, I just said, "No."

I was thinking I didn't want to mess with all that . . .

Then someone asked, "How do I order prints, if you don't have a catalog and still photos for choices?"

Oh.

The next person asked basically the same thing.

'K.

Do you know how much work that's going to be? Well, okay, putting together a catalog and stills is not, in itself, a great deal of work; I suppose you all know that, if you saw that I had those things on the site, before I changed the design *s

What was driving me nuts, though, is the fact that all the thumbnails were of different sizes and shapes. No, seriously. So now I have to be completely anal about it, and . . . well, yanno.

Gimme a minute?

If you have something imperative in mind, you can email me. I'll help you figure out the title of the photo(s). If it's something no longer on my site (or on flickr) . . . um . . . stab me?

I'll get it all back together, soonish.

Who knew people wanted to buy this stuff . . .

And thank you *s

xo
