My Bio

A bit about me:

I was raised as a Mormon in Utah without a choice in the matter. We were located just 20 miles North of Salt Lake City. This is now an area where you will see some 2 or 3 LDS Church steeples from most any vantage point. You were either an active Mormon, you are reactivated, or you would eventually move as a result of their gentle, yet frequent persuasions.


I was a bit of a geek; who thought it was best to be nice to girls to get their attention. Silly me. Of course, I see only the 'bad boys' made the girls swoon. I've struggled against the oppressive chauvinistic Dogma of Mormonism, and I feel much healthier now identifying as Pagan and honoring our Great Mother. I seem to have a better sense of ethical responsibility than most any other Mormon Businessman I've met or read about, so that kind of shows what a sham that cult must be. If this were not the case then their strict moral code would have made a much larger impact on the business world as a whole; in order to compete with so many 'Ethical Mormon Businessmen', and perhaps our environment would not be in such dire straights as it is. To read more about Ethical Responsibility check out my personal philosophy web site: mind-temple.com/ethics.htm


Back in 1984 at the age of 21 I was married to my first Wife. A few years later we had 3 Daughters between 1988 to 92. That Marriage had lasted 14 long years. Towards the end of that stressful co-dependent relationship I had realized how my Ex was not just rather odd (as I would expect of women), but discovered that she was actually mentally ill. I was encouraged by her Psychologist to have her start seeing a Psychiatrists to get her on prescription meds and get her on SSI for mental disability. When she left I had finally got a chance to clean up our house; where I literally hauled off 7 tons of garbage to the dump in just 3 weeks of nonstop work 10+ hours a day 7 days a week. I was scrambling in fear of her return.


She took our Daughters with her only to collect welfare and food stamps, but never had much of a natural maternal inclination, and had very little to do with them those following years due to the State intervention to transfer custody over to her younger Sister, who was not much better, so they continued to live in filth and poverty. That was back in mid 1998 to present, which happen to be just before my business had really taken off; without her holding me back so much. Her leaving was a blessing, since I could never have gotten rid of her otherwise. Although, the high price my Daughters and I paid was quite a bit; running myself into bankruptcy trying to fight for custody. She felt the need to ruin the good relationship I had with my Daughters to maintain custody, which she lost to WA State shortly after that.


Life is meant to be challenging. As an example; you wouldn't bother spending much time playing a video game that was too easy, right? Or too difficult for that matter.


About 5 months after that split I was destine to meet my Soulmate: Tia through an on-line dating site called match.com. In less than 2 hours after I posted a rather sarcastic ad Tia had written to me. We both felt such a connection over the next 2 weeks that we hand-fasted; exchanging vows w/gold rings, yet we had not even kissed yet. Although, just hours later we had gotten to know each other on a tantric level: mind-temple.com/ss/thebeginnin…


She had helped awaken my Celtic heritage and spiritual path. We are still happily together with a Son as the product of our love, named Torrin, who was born on Halloween 2000 (not intentionally). I now have 2 children born on holidays. My youngest Daughter was born on Valentine. I try to treat our relationship as if do not have ownership over Tia. I am just fortunate she still likes to hang with me and life is good. We profit none to obligate a person to stick with us from a decision they may have made years ago. That thought would only serve to foster resentment and all too often taking that person for granted.


She worked in my business for a few years, but has fulfilled her dream to become a Midwife and physical therapist. She also works preparing placentas for consumption by the Birth-Mother, Herbalist, Hypno-birthing, Reiki Master, Craniosacral, Lactation Consultant, and other healing services through her web site: innerserenitymidwifery.com , healingwithserenity.com , serenity-witch.com . I am very proud of her.


Yes, you will see lots of sexy images here on my DA profile, and I am not ashamed to admit this is a passion for me. I mean no offense to those prudes who would be mortified by images of sensuality. You are welcome to be frank with me. I can take it. I will tell you that I will continue to pursue photographing sexy nude women and sharing those images here. Work is swell and pays the bills, but looking at sexy women is more what I live for. You may consider how this is quite natural, and an important part of the cycle of life. It requires arousal to make a baby. Without our sex drive being what it is Humanity would simply die off before long, so I will not be ashamed to be a part of this natural cycle. I do not violate or oppress women. They have come to me quite willing and eager. I am polite, I do not touch them, I pay them, and they leave unscathed.


You are welcome to offer me your opinion on what ever crusade you want to take on, but I am sure you can realize how there are much more important issues you should focus on; like rape and many other offenses to women who are mistreated, which are a huge problems in our society and all over the world. I do not cheat on my Wife. I am not an offender of women. I never even grope women. I honor women in this way they want to be shown in these images showing their beauty and strength. Not letting society dictate how they must live and behave.

If you have taken any photos with your smart-phone or even with a decent DSLR camera you must have noticed how it more often does not seems to turn out quite like you remember what it was you were trying to capture, which can be very frustrating. This phenomenon is due to several aspects of how your mind does a lot of instant corrections, alterations, eliminations, and stitching many images together before recording this to your minds-eye. It takes some time and effort with advanced photo editing software to work a photo over in order to come close to what you had perceived that image should have looked like, which is an art-form that has to

I hate to get into religion or politics here, and this should not even be seen that way, but it is getting impossible to avoid these days with so many kids dying at the hands of 'White male American terrorists'.  Seventeen minutes is not nearly enough. Maybe 17 days would start to get the message out there of how important this is. Maybe it will take 17 months? I applaud those who take a stand and make the effort to try to make a difference. Which is why I took the time to write this. There certainly is way too much hate being spewed out publicly and within social media these days. Especially since #45 had taken office. It's like the haters

First off; this is not about the artistic merits of composition, subject matter, or creativity. Aesthetic detail is hard to debate since it is different for each observer. If you like what you see that has genuine value. This is just about the technical details of capturing that still image to record that one brief moment in time. In these modern days, most of us have a smartphone with a pretty decent camera built-in, which has a fairly high-resolution sensor, so many of us have the idea that we could become a professional photographer without investing in the more expensive equipment or the understanding of the technical details how it all
