Energy and enthusiasm w/ Erika!

Hey, Steemit! Let the record show that at 1:00a.m., with STEEM hitting $0.27, I’m still here posting! I watched @joythewanderer’s last @dtube VLOG and I’m with here. I want to eat cake, too. I’m staying positive. These are all external factors affecting the price of STEEM. I can handle that. It’s the internal struggles that were getting me down for much of 2018 and 2019. It’s been a long time since my Steemit rewards were an active part of my day to day income/expenses, so I’m just going to keep doing what I do. Sharing art and stories of my life.

I have some new photography to share! This is a set I’m really excited to post. It’s from my last trip to Los Angeles with a client named Erika. She contacted me a few weeks before my big LA and Las Vegas tour during the spring. That included Viva Las Vegas, but before the Rockabilly Weekend, I always fly in to Los Angeles. I’ll take a few bookings there before driving on to Vegas. Erika had a captivating personalty, even through text. She seemed fun and excited to shoot.

Her enthusiasm captured my imagination and upon meeting her, I knew this would be an excellent collaboration. She had a beautiful face and the outfits she’d Brough spanned the range from cute to extremely sexy. We were shooting in the mansion estate I often use when on the west coast. Endless opportunities for rooms, lighting possibilities, lamps and decor. In my usual dark pinup style, I found places to accentuate her striking features and curly hair. These first portraits are daring and dramatic.

I have more to come with Erika. I can’t wait to find the time to edit the rest of this shoot. We did some really erotic posing and implied, sexually charged images with piles of old book in the library. Those are going to be memorable, even by the standard of the rest of my body of work. Thanks for reading and staying with me during the trying times. I’ll be posting these next two weeks before leaving for New Zealand.
