Its turning darker, colder, and the leaves have pretty much all fallen. Winter is approaching quite fast I think, though there have been a number of truly beautiful days, full of sun, warmth and gentle weather. The heavy rains though have caused some pretty serious landslides, cutting off major highways in the area, making it difficult for some friends to get back and forth into the mountains from Tennessee, and generally causing concern for the local area business and tourist venues.

I am going to try and get things sorted as I have time and energy, placing general rules in each folder, and updating the rules on each image, but since I have nearly 5000 images, that will be a very long term project. Some of the models and folk have stated they are alright with dark arts and a bit of horror, and I am not going to place my own personal feelings about such things as a limit on their work or its usefulness to other artists. There currently is a dark arts folder that has images in it that can be used for such purposes.

Collaborators and stock friends I work with and support.

a very good friend from the UK has joined the folk collaborating with me to provide stock for reference and manipulation, and as she is able to provide images I will place them in the galleries.

I will be sorting out her images and uploading what might be useful for traditional reference and fine arts studies.

Her gallery will be growing as I sort out those images I think might be useful for stock and reference.

Marvelous athletic model, working hard on her career. I will add work as I sort through the shoots we did together and when or if we shoot again.

We will be shooting with each other again, but with the landslides cutting the highways, it will not be as often as we might like. She also has her own small stock gallery here

Mainly photographed by her husband, an excellent crafter with some wonderful woven and knitted items for sale. An excellent model when she has time to pose.

The Exclusive Sets and Donations
Those that have donated, or donate in the future get access to the exclusive sets I am putting in their own folder. How many you get access to depends on how much you donate, and except for special promotions I may do in the future which I did for Dragon Con and the Gandalfian series, I am going to set it at a flat $10 US per pack. That way you can just donate as much or as little as you like. And if you just want to support the work going on here, well, I am quite open to donations for props, lights, costuming and so on. Most costume funds will go toward paying talented folk like to make up costumes for me, so your supporting her also when you donate toward outfits.

Those that have already donated of course only have to contact me for access to the packs of their choice. And there are quite a few more in the works. Some will be from some of the models to help them with their own expenses and work.
