I seem to live in cyberspace these days
and at times it is as far away as the moon

Beautiful and free: The scarlet Tiger Moth
a poem from another year, another time, suddenly visited by 44 unidentified people on flickr today. Where did they come from, who are they, and why did they come?

mistress and maid.
This was my first shoot with two models working with ambient and artificial light. I have mixed feelings about the results, but on the whole I am very happy. I have used a wide aperture and a longish exposure to create differential sharpness and a soft, oil paint effect for a series based on a poem by Duffy, called "Warming her Pearls"

she likes me to warm her pearls
"She's beautiful. I dream about her
in my attic bed; picture her dancing
with tall men, puzzled by my faint, persistent scent
beneath her French perfume, her milky stones. "

self and other
"All day I think of her,
resting in the Yellow Room, contemplating silk
or taffeta, which gown tonight? She fans herself
whilst I work willingly, my slow heat entering
each pearl. Slack on my neck, her rope."
