This led to our talking about other shoots and after a while the realization that I never posted any of the shots from this early 2008 shoot This was one of the last shoots I did at the OK Hotel before moving out ( Read more... )

For some reason, I booked a shoot early afternoon on Halloween, something I normally would never do. Lucky for me I did. This was the first time Cali and I shot together and it was a lot of fun. A mix of Black and Japanese, the lady is tall (5'10") and graceful. Hopefully we'll get to work together when she's back in Seattle. *shakey fist* ( Read more... )
