little spot

another tickle test

2008-04-28T14:03:45Z

Lucky you. Whether you've earned it, inherited it, or just plain lucked out, money doesn't seem to be of any concern to you. Unlike most of us, it appears that you can afford the good life with little apparent effort.

And while not everyone with wealth is necessarily generous, we'd bet that you are even happier when you can share it. You enjoy having a good time вЂ” and treating friends to a good time, too. And why not вЂ” who says it has to be lonely at the top? It's true that money doesn't buy happiness, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible to have both.

What are you?

Все в полумраке. Дыхание сперло.
Мне больно.

Наскрежетать каких то ответов
Все почему - как банка пустая
Звенят
В ушах

Слышу

Как сердце кровь отпуская
По венам

Каждая капля несет:
"Помогите!"

Никто не услышит.
Cто раз умирая.

Мне пережить
Эту ночь

Надо.

shooting in Victor Hotel http://www.hotelvictorsouthbeach.com/hotelvictor_1024.html
( in one of the rooms)

looking for gorgeous Fashion Type models who pose topless and/or nude ( please state in your email )
Vellum - Playboy style.

Want to shoot something with a lot of shadows and mood, may be make up shots too , just need a model with perfect skin , since with that type of light imperfections rather come out then hidden, although there is always retouching but its best when its minimal .

bath tubs there are so pretty , id love to shoot something with petals in dark moody way or may be vise versa in the morning light.

anyway let me know ASAP. I would like to shoot on Friday morning ( its in south beach )

Please send your most recent images of your face and full length body front and back ( dont have to be professional ) , mention skin imperfections, state if u are able to do your own make up or u prefer make up artist, your hourly and half day rate.

u can view my images here

when friends become has beens ( photos inside)

2005-08-27T14:43:02Z

ITs an old rule isn't it , don't land your friends money, they will become your enemies. That is so correct.
I had a friend ( or so i thought i did) , named PATRICK ANDERSEN , a so so photographer around 55 years old ( I never actually new his age) .
I knew him from London ( thats where he lives and works for Volvo ), met him when i was modeling. I dismissed my gf's comments on the fact that he wasnt that friendly and that he was trying to get in every other model's panties etc etc, because i believe in good in people and because i always kept him at a distance and didn't allow anything frivolous. I chatted with him often when i moved from London to America and he even met me at the airport to help out ( his offer i didnt ask really ) when i came there in December. Mind you that was when i first started shooting. Now this summer when i planned on coming in July he asked me to get him the New Canon Powershot, for 540 $, he mentioned he would pay me back right away. So I did. Even though he asked me a day prior to my flight, i dropped all i was doing and drove thru several big stores here in Miami to ask what he wanted for the best price. We met at my friend's wedding, i gave him the camera in a box with everything in it and thought we'd meet up later on so i can pick up the money . Well its been two months now. I haven't seen the money. Person is avoiding me, he told me i was an angry individual and that is not the way to treat your friends ( asking for money OR the camera back ) , he does not respond to my calls, he appears in yahoo under his second name obviously thinking i don't know his other addys etc etc.
Makes me sad really , because people like that cut off the possibility for others to be helped or get a friendly treatment , u would think twice before doing something nice for someone . As we say in russia all good intentions and actions towards someone are punished at the end. Sad but so true.

miami calling

2005-03-30T23:00:53Z

BUSEEEYYY day for me. to do my hair, apply for british visa, get the british visa, PACK, which is insane considering that every time i pack for a week or two and now i have to pack for at least a month and be really logical and smart about it ( remember we live in hotels :). I do sometime wish i had a home, base, just so i don't have to pack as if i was moving to another house, every time. at least ones a month. But oh well. I will post later when i have a spare moment for coffee and typing or when i am doing my hair.
Peace out.

can u make fun of things that u can not make fun of ?

2005-03-28T03:09:49Z

mistaken lol
but oh well, where else u will get a chance to drive in the middle of bev ills in your underwear on an old cadillac 1968. I will have behind the scenes shots and videos later today or tomorrow.

the screening of a movie i am in

2005-02-09T08:40:02Z

well well today was the screening of a movie where i had a supporting role. actually kind of lead, cos there were 7to 10 leads. nobody was a true lead. Took them over 8 months to finish a movie. I actually laughed.It was a comedy. And i kind of felt what actors feel when they finish the feature and go on a party circuit to get the applauds.It feels great honestly. Hopefully not the last role :) I am also very hungry . I started going to the gym almost twice a day and i get hungrier. IT sucks, because i know its all good but i get tired of thinking about food. and i hate photographers who are pricks. like this one from http://www.selectglamour.com/ He lures models into shooting ( models pay air fair and everything else, he does not provide make up artist or anything for that matter) by bragging about being published in American Curves, FHM and STUFF. He NEVER PAYS and he actually brags about it too. His all behavior is mix of womanizer ( when he is trying to get you to shoot with him) to woman hater ( when u say u are not modeling for free and u are not giving up all rights for the results of this work ). When u say u don’t work on the conditions of not being paid , and without guaranty of being published but giving away the rights he says u are a stupid idiot and u can only go no higher then swank magazine. How fine HAH ? sad rather. The saddest part there ARE women who go for it. and many.... i wish i could change the world . or at least parts of it.

clouds in the coffee...

2004-09-27T17:25:50Z

TOday I am missing the fall weather in Saint-Petersburg Russia.
I am missing today wearing fancy beautiful high heeled rabbit trimmed boots and nice fur coat.
I am missing hiding my chin in the beautifully fluffy warm scarf, and my hands in leather gloves. I am missing a hot warm coffee in my hand ( ok that is more NY then SP russia, cos they still don’t have coffees to go :).
I am missing.
May be just the clouds in the air in hermosa beach make me feel this way or may be watching the ER on TNT.

and new video :)

2004-09-21T08:00:05Z

well i just revised and finished my another new DEMOREEL hopefully improved sound and a better video.
