This is real exciting - I've just finished self publishing my first book of my fine art model work on Blurb.  Here's the link:

Photo Retouchers - please read this.  I shoot with film and do not work with digital images.  While I appreciate your comments on my work, I do not need the services of digital retouching of my images. 

Please - no drive by friend requests.  If you want to be my friend, at least send me a note.  Don't worry - I won't bite!

I have my own large darkroom and home studio for shooting in here at my home.  I'm at the north end of Palm Springs right near the Aerial Tramway.  I work with Black and White film with 4 x 5, 8 x 10 and 8 x 20 cameras.  These are big cameras and because of the large size of the equipment I use, my shooting sessions are pretty relaxed and slow paced. 

Image types - I'm interested trying a lot of new things, and am looking for creative thinking models for this process.  I work primarily with nude and implied nude fine art style images.  Let's talk about what kind of work you want to try.

"It's always a pleasure working with Dan. Each shoot is inspiring with a new prop or setup to work with and fresh ideas. It's mesmerizing to work with a photographer using a large format camera. It sets a slow but focused pace that allows you more time to connect in the space. He has my high regards both artistically and ethically"

"I appreciate you welcoming me so warmly and I really enjoyed "working" with you. I use the term loosely because it didn't feel like work by any means. I'm honored to have been invited to be a part of your art. You are a wonderfully talented artist and I enjoyed being included in your process.  Your personality shines and I had a great time playing off of you. You sir, are worth the ride anytime I come to So Cal"
