the collected volumes

The TwinPeaks

The first forray in to hard cover book publishing for Nowhere Press and periods.. my boutique alt/art book publishing house.

The volume is currently being prepped.. I’ll be choosing from more than 1200 images that are all Breast- Centric.. or, images that focus more on the breast than any other content element.

The book will be 8″ by 10″ and up to *almost* 200 pages in length. I am, also, negotiating to get 5 individual covers for the book. This means.. depending on where you are, the book you get might be different from someone else’s copy. If I go the route of Dust Covers, PreOrders get FOUR FREE covers.. so you’ll get all of them (if, however, it is a printed hard cover… I can’t do that 😉 ).

The BrokenLens

The first .. or second.. hard cover book  from Nowhere Press and periods.. my boutique alt/art book publishing house.

This volume is a collection of distressed nudes.. living my life as I have (subsistence existence, survival mode.. moving from one emergency event to another full of stress and disquiet reason), my style is unique but also my film shows signs of.. the moves I have endured.

This is a compendium of variety.. variety exhibiting my unique vision but also spotlighting the difficulty being an abused victim has inflicted on me and my artwork. All images are hand printed and/ or professionally scanned and cleaned as much as possible but all reflect my unique vision and experiences.

SparkleFaerie

The first woman of ALTPHOTOART.. and the love of my life. Her work is voluminous and amazing! She has the dancers background for poise and presentation and a physique that doesn’t quit. We shot in Kelowna, downtown Vancouver (public nudity), Wreck beach.. all over the place and you’ll find TONS of images of this awesome lass for perusal. 

Most of the images that you’ll see in this volume will be Film Based as most of our work took place prior to the addition of digital gear to my work flow. Even when I did have a dSLR.. I have always preferred using my F5 for it’s speed and abilities that are only just now starting to be overshadowed in the dSLR world.

Gish!

Met GISH while she was working at a Clarie’s in Pacific Centre mall.. I was nervous, scared even.. I told SparkleFaerie how she jazzed me for art and I was urged to go talk to her. The rest is history.

Over the years, we shot as often as possible.. in the studio, outside.. nope, not on Wreck beach… but many other (public) places in Vancouver. We explored some amazing concepts that include macro flower bouquet arrangements, middle of winter frozen black and whites.. and hand lettering poems on her breast. Even tho she no longer lives in Vancouver and we rarely see each other.. I consider her a close and dear friend.

LunaK

I met Luna walking along Granville St. on a wet and rainy day. She was hudled under a huge umbrella and I was a bike courier spinning around.. or, well.. I was stalled waiting for runs. Saw her trapsing down the avenue, as the saying goes, and she was so confident and sure of herself.. I pulled out my packet of prints and, hudling with he under her handheld protection, shared past images with her. The rest is history.. and our friendship continues to this day.

Teelie

Teel came to my attention by way of Boomtown Clothing.. she was managing the shop for a friend when SparkleFaerie and I wound our way through Metrotown. I was hauling a hand- bound copy of The Death of Love and asked her to model for it. No ideas at that time for what we’d work on but.. I was smitten. Just18, she agreed and we worked together quite frequently.. on TV sets, with Motorcycles.. wearing ultra small bikinis (and a lot less, mostly). This volume will be mostly film based with pepperings of digital images.. like the session on the motorcycles- a custom motorcycle company brought 11 rides (5 or 6 complete, 5 or 6 “rollers) on to a closed TV set that had been used, frequently, for Dark Angel (the show with Jessica Alba) as well as Smallville, Cat Woman (with Halle Berry) and so many other productions.. it was super fun shooting on a closed TV set that looked like a post- apocalyptic downtown alley/ avenue. And Teel looked amazing on the set. 

FoxyKat

Met Aussie Kat at.. The Moose Down Under (a local Aussie themed pub just off Granville St.) and after a few beers we were throwing ideas back and forth. The one idea I never thought of was shooting her.. NUDE.. in a church. But not just any church.. the old school church at the corner of Burrard and W. Georgia where I was painting wood trim. The janitor locked us in the chapel for me to finish up my work and.. Kat *mysteriously* (or, miraculously?!?) lost all hr clothes. We did a LOT of experimentation.. and some of that will titilate and please viewers.. so, grab this book for your collection!
