Ghost Writers & The Need for Repetition

I love telling stories, just so happens I've been telling a story for the past 5 years using my very talented & lovely friend
Shawn Taryn Gray as my model.
There have been many a shoots where I often wondered if Shawn would ever speak to me again. The one time we took over an abandoned decrepit 3 story building in Downtown L.A. Or the time we improvised a live photo shoot at the popular L.A. gritty underground club RESPECT in Hollywood. No, not even the Drum & Bass scared her away. 


Surely the time where we ran around like banshees in the old Rossmore Apartments where we were accused of running a Porn production by the landlord would have scared her away. Yes, Shawn had more than her fair share of odd & random nights to walk away from the visions that I was painting but she never did.


People often ask me what my fascination with Shawn is & why I don't shoot other models? My answer.
Ghost writers & the need for repetition.
