I give you my scales for your undivided attention. on Flickr.
Staving off a barrage of white foamy tops crashing in, we managed to get some good shots in.

I think this is a very haunting image, and there’s even something about the gesture in her hands..I like very much. A longing..
Looking back, looking back. on Flickr.
A lovely way to spend the day, lounging in a world of picket fences and green green grass.
Sometimes summer’s worth laughing out loud about. on Flickr.
Here’s Gina looking radiant in a pile of leaves. Amazing how much fun can have just laying around on the ground! :)

She actually made it up the tree! Give it up for her! :)
Out for a stroll in the middle of the night.
I follow the light, I follow the light…
I pass a stranger on my way..
Gazes gazing, piercing away, jabbing away, shanks deep in the pale moonlight.
With mixed emotions and mixed intentions, he points the other way.
Caution in his muscles. Caution in his bones.
King of confidence, fool of consequence, I continue on alone.
Walking felt like falling, laughing felt like bawling, walking felt like crawling, rushing felt like stalling.
I didn’t want to go back, a one way ticket on a one way track.
Like that day you jumped in the water, out on a limb, free falling..
And it was just right. And you didn’t want to get out.
Swim infinitely, drown copiously, perpetually, conveniently.
The orchestra plays beautifully. Right around dawn.
And I am lost and drowning in The Sound.
Left to my own devices. The story of my demise is..
“Will I see you soon?”
“I’d like you to make me want to stay forever here behind your door.”
I’m left here spinning in the mire, Oscillating bird on a wire, when it’s curtains, you’re out of things to admire.
I’m falling, falling, falling, falling….
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep.

Here I am. on Flickr.
Another one from the series. This shot is more bubbly, such an elegant woman. I like the results from this mini series, I hope ya’ll do too!
I promise not to look back. on Flickr.
This also happens to work wonders in black and white. Her expression here is almost sad..nostalgic perhaps. Lovely.

Such a lovely shot. This is from the series I did for the Antiliaans Dagblad. The lovely stylist SharonLie did a fantastic job on this one. I can see this on a canvas hanging over a fireplace somewhere.
Hi globetrotters,
I hope ya’ll are doing well wherever you are.
So here’s a mini update for everyone out there wondering “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego” errr where in the world I’ve been.
Well as of a few days ago I started doing photography full time, meaning it’s my sole source of income and it’s a scary time. I must admit. But I intend to jump in feet first and see what I can do.
I also intend on doing some behind the scenes video of my shoots and some interviews and whatever else comes my way in the form of video. I now have my Youtube channel standing by and I’ll be posting, so stay tuned.
As you may or may not know I’m putting together a team to work with, this comprises of a make up artist or two, a hair stylist and a stylist.
I introduce you to my (not to say I own her, just that I’ve selected her) stylist, SharonLie! She is very good at what she does if you ask me, and is very creative. Like me, she’s infamous for doing a whole lot with just a little. And it’s in this thinking and state of mind that I think we’ll be able to pull many a rabbit from our hats, so keep your eyes peeled, because very soon, I’ll have my (again, not the owner, just a selection) team together and we’ll be pulling off some pretty cool stuff down here in the ol’ Caribe.
So as our first little assignment, the good people over at the ‘Antilliaans Dagblad’, which is a local news paper, wrote an article on my stylist, and she pushed that I be the photographer on duty to shoot two lovely gals she decided to style and to get some candid shots of the day.
This also completes my second shoot using lighting equipment, and it’s not half bad. The images following this article are from that session. I hope you enjoy!

Until sometime soon,
Rob.
