Title inspired by The Nurse Tree by Mo...

I'm finally back

I am sorry for the very long unscheduled hiatus -- I was locked out of my Patreon until they could review 20+ years of my release forms to prove that I had made all of my photographs and that everyone in the images was of legal age. I couldn't even message to say what was going on.

It seems someone took the trouble to report every single one of my posts -- this "prank" cost me hundreds o...

It's my birthday and I want to say thank you -- a caption contest

I don't just want to say thank you, I want to show my gratitude. So… I'm holding a contest and a drawing for prints and more.

Participating is simple: leave a comment below with your suggested title for the image above.

It was during this photo session that we were shot at by someone on the other side of the bay with a semiautomatic rifle. (We were on public lands.)
