“In Hollywood, Everyone Can Hear You Scream”
The city spread out beneath him like a sea of Christmas lights. Hollywood. Babylonia.
Gamble couldn’t believe almost a year had passed since he’d stepped off that shitty Greyhound bus from that shitty little nowhere t...

When I first met Kelly Eden, I had no idea she was internet-famous. Like, REALLY internet-famous. Having pink hair and some mad crafting skillz will do that, I'spose.
When I met Kelly, it was on the set of a band photo shoot. The singer had brou...

Life continues to move at an accelerated pace. I've given myself a "shoot at least once a week" rule recently, but so far, I've been averaging at least 2 shoots a week, which is usually unheard of f...

Mika found me via ModelMayhem.com in late 2012 to let me know that she would be coming from Miami to Los Angeles and very much wanted to shoot.
Most of 2012 had been spent dealing with a family tragedy, being forced to move by a crazy roommate and some serious time devoted to the scriptwrit...

We've been up all night.
Drinking. Smoking.
She's naked and singing and dancing around the room, spinning and hollering and falling down; I'm sitting in the corner, watching her with predatory eyes.
Drunk. Stoned.
We intended to do a sho...

“And all that came before…”
“Hit me again.”
Gamble looked down at the mess of a woman laying beneath him. Big beautiful blue eyes slowly drowning in a pool of swelling pink flesh. Pouty lips smeared with blood and cheap lipstick.

In early 2013, I was approached by one of my clients, Fearless Records, to shoot promotional photos for their band Motionless in White. Lead singer Chris Motionless was a huge fan of my work and this was an opportunity to finally work ...

I met Katie West online in the late 90s. She was a college student in Canada with a penchant for nude self-portraits, I was an aspiring comic book writer. We both had a love of author Warren Ellis, and met through his message board.
Nearly a decade later, we finally met in perso...

“The End is the Beginning is the End”
Gamble sat on the edge of the bed, cock in one hand and a wilted picture of a dead starlet in the other. He did his best to avoid staring directly into those horrible black eyes of hers and instead traced the wrinkled fold of her paper...

I got a text message late Thursday night.
"Mika got a black eye! She had a seizure and somehow gave herself a black eye. You need to shoot her ASAP!"
That she was having seizures was terrible to hear, but my former partner-in-crime was right--this was...
