pure beauty

this girl, nadia, had an amazing raw energy infront of the camera with amazing skin, no retouching on the skin in this picture at all, quiet yet inposing and oozing sex appeal. more images to follow..

why am i bothering

ok this is going to be a very depressing blog post but i have good reason.. why am i bothering updating this blog, no one even knows about or reads it? second, it seems my grandad is dare i say.. dying.. he is 90 years old and the most awesome man i know. he lives too far away & i cant get to him till next week and i'm all alone and miserable today. fuck it all..

along came a woman

an oldie but goldie.. i have so many pictures in my archives, sometimes you just need to take em out and dust em off to look brand new..

sleeping beauties

some old work..

loving hands

another in the "hand couture" series. thanks to this lovely couple there will be three more pics in my new collection, awesome stuff guys, thanks alot for lending a hand :)

i heart mirrors

i don't know or can't think of something to blurb about today.. i suffered a bad migraine yesterday which luckily subsided later on. i fnally managed to catch up on all the outstanding editing work i have had to do. i need to plan a decent vacation.. i need to prepare for next monday and tuesday, going thru some tough tests to prove my toughness to o-sensei, i'll probably be out of commission for a week after that :) looking forward to it..

a deserted house

outfits supplied by model and makeup by model

long ago in a deserted house

there lived a woman, and this woman was restless

she was looking for something, something deep

she was hardheaded, she was a woman in love

and a woman in love is thinking about these things

so we left the house, got into a boat and sailed away

just a silly little ?poem? lol, no! it's just mangled lyrics from a Laurie Anderson song..

shift + 4 on your keyboard equals something

she is beautiful, i was inspired to shoot so much but had so little time..

 

yes it equals the amount of money you have to pay when you buy an adobe product these days... they are just getting too pricey, dont ya think?? photoshop cs4, let's hope it works well..

human excogitation part1

pregnant women are just so beautiful, i really don't know what it is. but they are beautiful. to all the women of the world who give their bodies for an experiment in excogitation, i salute you!

m.i.a.

missing in action, i love those words.. i have been struggling with a neck problem for some time which is affecting my ulnar nerve so my arm is in pain the whole day, not sleeping well & even my chiro is avoiding my calls for help. it seems my sanity is going m.i.a. i want to shoot more, everyday, started shooting pregnant woman a while ago and i like it, they have a glow, something is happening to them, to their bodies, they all seem so beautiful to me, maybe my urge to become a father myself one day. for me it's all m.i.a. at the moment.. work work work and no play makes jack a dull boy.

the liquid flesh factory

so why did i choose this elaborate name? well, it was the only option available after about 100 other names i wanted to use, all taken and most of them not used at all, single post made over 2 years ago.. sad how poeple steel the good names and for those of you whom are afrikaans i deliberately misspelled the word people :)

maybe i should have taken midnightzombies? or theredsnake, oh well ill stick to the factory for now.

helene of troy

a great friend with such pure beauty hidden inside..

ada

wardrobe by crystal birch

benny

people asked me why i dont use capitol letters in my postings, well it's an editorial decision i made and being the editor i made that decision. besides i hate having to reach for the shift key while i'm typing.

 

benny is a beautiful girl with a mysterious energy. we made some great music. thank you for sharing.

natashakti

sometimes inspiration hits and you gotta go with your gut feeling..

a series of hands

this series was an idea that came to me a long time ago and for some reason i never got round to doing it, until now. i will continue this until i have shot about 15 or so girls, or until i get bored with it. if you interested in this, drop me a line and send a photo of yourself - ericuysphoto@gmail.com
