In The Beginning

When I first started in my photographic journey I had more failures then successes. This photo is one of my early adventures into the art of photographing nudes. The model in this image had a somewhat Ruben-esque figure and graciously agreed to model for this image.

After posting this image on another art site it was discovered by a lady who asked if I minded if she used it as the background for a poem. I agreed and after she sent it to me I was thrilled with her words and posted it back on that same original site. Jill has since become a very close friend over the years. She has become s huge fan of my photographic art. More of her poems with my photos as backgrounds will be posted in the future. I am sure you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Zaftig A Case For Curves

Zaftig is a Yiddish word meaning ripe or luscious, and is commonly applied to curvaceous women. This blog celebrates these women principally through the lens of my cameras.

The photos included in these blogs will consist of women who I have had the opportunity to photograph over several years. They are not professional models. They are the ladies next door. The ladies you might see in the grocery store or pharmacy. They are of various sizes and ages. But they most have one thing in common and that is they have curves. They are soft and beautiful. Some are older and some younger. They are all over the age of 18.

I have long appreciated the beauty I see in these women. Even as a young man growing up I was what probably today would be called a chubby chaser. When I selected the young lady who is now my wife she was one of the chubby ladies I so admired.

You will note that most of the faces have been altered to protect their identities. This is at their request and I respect that.

I encourage your comments. Please treat my models with respect.
