I love me some naked faeries. Actually, I only know one, and its good to get back to shooting Faerie. Its been a long time since I’ve had her in my sights and we’ve been able to finally make it happen. Just as gorgeous as ever, I don’t think anybody can say one bad thing about this woman, but even on the inside, she a good girl, a great mom and wife, and she’s got a beautiful outlook on life. I could definitely say she’s a great model not only for me, but she’s a great model of a human being worthy of emulation by many young women out there today. The main goal was to work her into some of my Art Nude Ball of Light work. She’d seen some of my earlier attempts and her husband likes them too. After not doing them for a year, it took a bit to make the adjustments, but I have found a way to perfect my sphere-building spin and rotation. It was more towards the end of our session that I began to get better, so we have some more work to do. And of course there are a LOT more images from our shoot last weekend, but I’m only going to get to a few before my adventure down South.

Which brings me to another point. I’m thinking I’m going to start another blog to showcase my travel and adventure work. I know you’re thinking I can barely keep tabs on this one, but I am sincerely giving this some thought. The only question is when I’ll start it, because I ultimately want to have this thing going when I am more permanently on the road and traveling on a more regular basis for extended periods of time. Granted, this Central America stunt that I’m doing will be for a little while, but I’m talking about doing this as a life-style. That’s when I truly want to begin a new chapter of writing. In fact, I think I’m going to take an online course in writing from Matador U. I was thinking about doing their photography class as well, but I think I’ll switch to their film maker’s course and just work with the two of those. I can’t wait to get started.

The thing I like about all this is that, at the beginning of the year, as I’m laid up in the bed, this is all just a dream. Well now, its about to happen and I’m excited about that fact. Imagine it, plan it, do it. That’s they way I want my thought process to evolve. Spending so much time in bed leaves you with nothing but imagination and with a little concentration, you can start planning everything out. Of course this one was pretty easy. All I have to do is follow Heather Rae. She’s got the itinerary and beyond that, I don’t really care. She’s the subject. Whatever it is she’s doing, I simply follow and record it. But beyond that, she’s been very inspiring as I mentioned in the last post. My tasking is to simply get all the needed gear, learn more about video, and get the audio equipment I’ll need to accompany me and I’ve done that. I have a few adjustments to make but all in all, I’m just about ready. I’ll be learning on the fly, but thankfully we have enough time to get it down. The first week will be chill week anyway, so I’ll be able to read up on the manuals and maybe we’ll have wifi or internet connections and I can do some tutorials online. The Glidecam HD-2000 is giving me problems with the weight. Its tough to balance, but the thing may be too heavy for my needs. I can read a book on the Zoom H4N audio recorder and my on-camera Sennheiser should be easy enough. With that, you just plug in and go. This is going to be so much fun. I enjoy learning new things and am used to trial by fire from my military days.
Stay tuned…
the ball of light nude is spectacular! Well done!
As for the new gear, I can only tell you the Zoom mics are great and the sound quality is amazing considering the price. (Technology is so cool!)
We have to get together before you leave, Terrell. Been too long since I've seen you.
That's all I've ever heard about the Zoom mics. I'm definitely looking forward to working with them!
Great work, but the top one is my fave. I can't stop looking into her eyes or stop appreciating the perfect tonality of her skin. Well done.
thanks, karl. Wish I had her here in Guatemala!!! I soooo need somebody naked to shoot here!
