I got robbed
Current mood: creative

***Thank you, you lovely people. Things are about back to normal these days. It meant a lot to hear from you, whether via messages or comments. So yeah...looks like I'm back to doing what I love, taking pictures of you! Oh yeah, Martin is still missing, but I do have a new buddy. He looks just like Martin...but different somehow. So he'll be Martin 2. M2 for the ladies ;-P Take care!***

I came back from a haircut today and found my deadbolt locked which is not normal. Then I heard frantic voices yelling in Spanish so I knocked on the door loudly and I guess whoever was in my apartment took off through another door. Long story short, after getting into my apartment safely with the help of the police, it looks like burglars broke into my apartement and stole all my camera equipment and a brand new ipod. I'm not sure what else is missing...I'm going through my stuff to check later today.

But how it affects you...if I have a shoot coming up with you I will not be able to do it unless I am able to borrow the right equipment to do the shoot. I'll be in touch with those who have shoots coming up. If I owe you pictures please be patient with me while I sort this mess out. At first glance it looks like my computer equipment is intact so I still have your photos, but I was told that detectives would be coming to visit me and SID would be coming to print the place and all that stuff. Feel free to email or call me regarding the status of your photos....just realize it will take longer than anticipated and I do apologize for that.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me. I will do my best to answer them.

Take care,

Tommy

My photo is in Dorian Magazine!!
Current mood: drunk
Category: Art and Photography

OK, so lovely and totally awsome Koda got an interview in Dorian Magazine, a top mens fashion magazine in Sweden. Well guess what, one of the photos she used was from our little photoshoot in her apartment so now it's in a magazine!

Go to http://dorianmagazine.com/

Click on the middle button that says Magazine #10 on it and a new page will pop up.

Wait for it to load, and the article starts on page 30. My photo is the one that closes the article!

Here's a sneak peek : ) You can also click the image to take you to the magazine.

**Updated 02/26/07** Recent photoshoots
Current mood: chipper
Category: Art and Photography

I will be adding to this blog periodically with new photo shoots. Any comments and feedback are demanded. OK, do what you wish, but I'd love for you to give comments and feedback. See. I can ask nicely.

Jordyn Taylor
If you are every looking for a fun and crazy shoot...look no further than Jordyn Taylor. She only turned 16 late last year, but this is a girl who manages to work hard and play hard at the same time! Oh and she's an accomplished singer as well! There's really too much to say about her in such a little space, so just enjoy the images and go visit her page OK?

Oh and she also a little goofy and merits her own outtakes section

Christina Fandino
Tina filled in for me the same day as Yasmin, so I ended up being lucky enough to do two shoots with exceptional models that day. In addition to being a model, Tina is also an actor, makeup artist and who knows what else she has up her sleeve? Tina's cousin Tess did the wonderful makeup for both Yasmin & Tina, and you can view more of their work and contact them at www.tessandtina.com

Glamour
If I did more glamour shots, it'd look a little something like these. Clickeroo people.

Y
Not much to say about this next one.

CJ - Model/Dancer
Click below to view the rest of the photos from the shoot w/ CJ. Even though she was under the weather during this shoot, you'd never know from the photos. Such a pleasure to work with! She models, dances, and is a member of the beautiful FSU cowgirls. Let me know what you guys think.
