Today is a brief Rob rant. In these times when it seems like every social media photo post centers around sexual activity, I prefer my vision of gay life. A bit old fashioned, I admit, but a romanticized version seems necessary. We lead lives like everyone else. Have morning coffee, listen to music and lounge […]
It all started with an idea to shoot in Gary, Indiana. What originally was to be two separate models working back to back, quickly became one of the most lovely duo series I’ve ever photographed.

Armed with research done online, I had several destinations and a few contacts to assist with what became some of the best location work I’ve shot. This trip energized the
