A
photographer for over 30 years and a videographer
for 20 years, I began my study of the human form
with black and white photography, doing my own
darkroom work, and have pursued erotic topics
in visual media on and off over the years.
My current work
involves images of the nude human form, particularly
the genitals, with varing degrees of image manipulation.
One area of focus is to use genital images as
sources of color, shape and texture to create
new images that are not readily indentifiable
as genitalia. This allows people to see and experience
the beauty of human genitals and sexual activity
without having to deal with the usual cultural
hangups about nudity and sex.
I also do some glamour,
portrait, and "beyond boudoir" photography for
women who want to explore their sexual nature.
After studying Tantra, Taoist sexual yoga, and
Sex Magick, it is my belief that sex and sexual
energy are an integral part of human spirituality,
and that it is essential for people to explore
their sexual nature in an open, accepting, and
tolerant manner. Sexual energy can be a powerful
force for spiritual liberation, and it is for
that reason that sex is so heavily suppressed
by religions. Some of the images I have submitted
for display here were created to assist sexual
meditations for a project to use sexual energy
to create a better future.
