Meet Avocado, the Bear

thebigboss — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 05:43:35 +0000

Say ‘hello’ to Avocado, the bear. During the previous week, I cobbled him together from scrap leather. That’s right, Avocado is a leather bear. (Okay, that was just plain weird to write.) He came from an inside joke between friends. Avocado was supposed to be a massage voodoo doll (the inside joke). However, no matter how I tried to move the project that direction, Avocado insisted on being a bear. I kind of worry that he will come to life while I sleep. Then Avocado will stalk the cats and attempt to stuff dirty socks in my mouth. I’m glad that the stitches at his joints suck. They really limit the beady-eyed little varmint’s mobility.

Leavenworth, WA 2009

The small town of Leavenworth is tucked in the Cascades of central Washington. A couple decades back, the town recast a small part of itself as a Bavarian village. Each year, Leavenworth becomes a Christmas holiday destination complete with trimmings. The store fronts may look Bavarian, and some of the stores even have a few German goods (mostly beers and sausage); but most of the shops are gift and chotchke shops.

What attracts visitors are the events. Every Saturday and Sunday night during December, Leavenworth holds a tree lighting ceremony host by city dignitaries and three Santa Clauses (St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, and Santa Claus). My friend Doug and I drove up from Seattle to partake. Below are pics from our visit.

Nikki S & Danielle T

This is my last studio set. And what a set. Nikki Sebastian (Brunette) and Danielle Trixie (Blonde) were great to work with. My favorite moment was early on. Somehow, I managed to disappear. The two were deep in conversation about body care products. I didn’t reappear until Nikki said “This new shaving cream is great. Not a bump or burn. My pussy looks good, doesn’t it?” Then I said, “It certainly does.” Poof! The Reappearing Ted trick.

Oh, Carlotta!

This is the gorgeous Carlotta Champagne. I was priviledged to work with a Playboy model. She was present, professional and bodacious.

Pictures of Lily

This was a fun set with Lily Cameron. Very free spirited and involved in the process. I could give her ideas and she’d run with them. Nice tush to boot.

Invy

This is my first set with Invy. We seemed to cover all the bases: Fashion, Glamour, Pin-up, and Fine Art Nude. Working with her was fun and rewarding. Her BF was a real sport, too. He acted as assistant for a few shots.

Angel 2

Angel is one of my faves. I know, like a parent, a photographer shouldn’t have a favorite model. What can I say though, Angel is buoyant and very present. This set shows all of her sides: Physique, humor, sex appeal, and artfulness.

Sigh.

Ashley Haven 2

Here’s another great set with Ashley. She just seems to drape over the set. It was fun to see how much stretch I could get out of her.

Raccoon Carobtree

Raccoon Carobtree is that mix of adorable and sexy that does wonders for the libido. Petite and perfectly packaged, she is quite the treat to the eyes.

Black Mist @ Tokeland

This event was unusual. I spent an afternoon with many models and photographers. It was like a barn dance. If a model was caught sitting for too long, she was likely to be swept up by a photographer. By the end of the afternoon, I had 500+ images to sort through. Here’s my selection:
