Just a quick word or warning. Looks like a bug in php in use on many different shared hosting sites ( Dreamhost, etc..) may have opened up any wordpress, joomla or other php based site to a drive-by malware downloader.

I noticed something odd on the templates for my wordpress sites and on further investigation, *all* of my websites on dreamhost have been hit. Cleaning and sterilization is in progress.

If you’ve been to my sites in the last couple of days, do a virus scan on your system. It doesn’t look like that payload was successful, but there’s still a chance.

Drop me a note if you have any questions. I’ll post again with a more thorough analysis this evening after I’ve had time to take a look at the actual payload.

If you’re running a php site anywhere, look for a line inserted at the top of all of your .php files that looks something like:

A quickie for you until I get time to edit the rest of the shots from today’s group shoot at Southern Mills.   Enjoy.

Edited to add link to more shots: Gallery

Aria Fae and her beautifully vibrant ink.

A couple of quick edits from tonight’s Meetup. We had a short class on using a single light to set mood and what angles work best for what kind of shots. I’ll post more shots as I get them edited.

One light, lightly forward of 90 deg to photographer's left.

One light, 90 deg to model's right, slightly above and pointed behind model.

If you’re interested in the Meetup, we have a page over on Meetup.com.

edit: Added 3 more shots beneath the fold. Enjoy. (nsfw)

This is what happens when you turn two beautiful and creative women loose in a photo studio. Enjoy.

Just a teaser from one of this week’s sets:

Jo and friend enjoying a hookah.

I had a chance to shoot Jess up on top of Effigy hill at Alchemy this year.  The  cool breezes, warm sun and beautiful skies were just too perfect to not use as a backdrop for one of my most beautiful regular models.

Image and link to the gallery are after the cut to save on heart medication for HR departments and other prudes who explode at the sight of a boob.   Enjoy.

I got adventurous this year and climbed my fat butt to the top of the Effigy on Saturday afternoon.  From there I was able to take a 180 degree series of photos of the entire burn.   A little playing around in Microsoft’s ICE software and this is the result.  Enjoy.

Another year, another Alchemy.   Once again I spent a wonderfully peaceful time at or near my camp.  What meanderings I did enjoy took me up to the effigy or down to Camp Science and Camp Sheherazade.

We’re still unpacking and recovering so all of my photos aren’t prepped yet.  Here are a few that stood out during my initial load and first pass.  Enjoy.

Full gallery from Alchemy 2011 is here.

Giving breath to a dragon!

It's windy up here!

Going back through the year’s sets looking for shots for a gallery show, I came across this set that I hadn’t gotten around to finishing and uploading.

Jess and I were experimenting with a new makeup look and something a little different with respect to wardrobe.  Here are the best from that set.

Enjoy:

Makeup Test

Of course the cat has to get into the picture.
