I know I haven’t added anything in a while, but I promise I’m still here! The show a few weeks ago went great and I will be shooting with Magnus again SOON, so more shots are coming…some solos and some with Zeus, for his male model debut 
So, check back in a couple weeks for new stuff!!!
Be blessed!

On a side note…I have started another blog site for a project that is close to my heart. Since my uncle died of complications of AIDS when I was a kid, I have tried to stay involved in education, prevention and support on some level. Below is the site I’ve started for all things AIDS, what I would like to do and the trip I am planning to take next year. Check it out…save it…go back to it…expand your mind!
It’s FINALLY here!…I now have a PASSPORT, so I will be available for international work.
There are a few shots posted from this weekend in both portfolios…check ‘em out and let me know what you think!

I haven’t written anything lately so, I figured I’d give a little update. I did a really cool shoot yesterday with a photographer just outside Charlotte. His name is Stephen and he actually creates ALL kinds of art. I got to see some of his paintings and sculptures and he’ll actually be making a sculpture of my form for a job he has coming up, so hopefully I can get a picture of it to show everybody, but the main thing we did yesterday were some body paint shots. I’ve wanted to do this for a while and will definitely do it again…just in a different way I think we got some great shots out of the project, but word to the wise: food coloring, though totally safe for the skin, is NOT a good medium for body painting!!! Easy to use, looks great, doesn’t irritate the skin or clump or crackle, but it also doesn’t come off very easily….i still have some swirls and stripes and things that I anticipate will take a couple more days to wear away, and thats after we used several different things to try to wash it off. 
Anywho, I hope everyone is well, and I will post pics as soon as I get them back!

I have been working on the application to audition for ANTM, and it’s like writing a book about myself! One of the questions asks you to give 3 adjectives that describe you. I could think of several, but wanted to see what people who know me would say so I sent texts to several of my closest folks asking for adjectives to describe me, and here’s what they said:
Mom: tenacious
Miriam: beautiful, bold, adventurous, driven, persistent, intelligent & fun loving
Tracey: hot piece of real estate
Chelsea: strong, compassionate, inimitable
Rodney: determined, personable, flexible, intelligent, “passionate about your duties,” organizer/planner, & patient
Kim: energetic, assertive, go-getter, caring, fierce & stacked (lol)
Ashleigh: outgoing & creative
I thought it was interesting to see their responses, so if you know me well enough to add to the list, feel free to comment…and wish me luck!
I will be shooting all day in Philly, PA on Friday the 26th, and will be available on Saturday in Harrisburg if anyone in the area needs a model! (paid only please)
Select pieces of my work with Haarvey Aardvark will be displayed in Raleigh’s “3rd Friday Art Show” at Kung Fu Tattoo on October 16, 2009. See Magnus Hedemark’s Facebook link for more details:

I know this sounds cheesy, but I really wanted to recognize the people who have helped me get this far. Those who know me well know that I’ve had a lot of ups and downs the last several years, but I finally feel like I am headed in the right direction. I’m back in school; I’ve found something I love to do in modeling; and, I can’t wait to go to Africa next summer to volunteer! I want to thank all my family and friends (mom, dad, justin, ash, miriam & linda especially) for their patience and support. It sucks that I am so far away, but I love you all the same! Ron for giving me a job when I needed one, Brandon for taking my first pics to get me started, Magnus for launching me with some killer images and all the support, and Ray for caring for me when everybody else is so far away. I love you all and I hope that one day I can repay you for everything you’ve given me!
