Even though I'm not officially free to do lots of shoots yet... I'm doing a few anyway! Cause I'm bad

Well many of you noticed that I did a couple of shoots including with back in June and with in August... the ropey one was especially fun though also hard work.

Tomorrow I'm doing a triple shoot with 2 other models, one is also a photographer like myself... should be fun and we all get paid too



The reason for doing paid shoots is the KissMyBliss project that my friends are launching in November... it'll be a gorgeous paid erotic nude site run by women!

I'm working for them as model and photographer, and I'm looking for models and make-up artists to collaborate with me on this. Drop me a note if you are interested in finding out more!



Oh yes I got sick of my crappy little point-and-shoot and got myself a nice Caplio S6, which is a compact little thing for everyday stuff, but it has a gorgeous 7.2x optical zoom and great lens... nice everyday compact!

I'm just drooling over the macro feature... does great macros

I'm so happy to be back to DA after a year of focussing on other stuff in my life...

Thanks for the warm welcome back, it's great to find so many of my DA friends still here!

On a sadder note DA welcomed me back with a no-response message that notifies me that they removed one of my birth pictures... what do you all think of this??? I think it's insane and disgusting... none of the usual 'reasons' applies to me, just too graphic apparently. Pasted the auto-message below in case this journal entry doesn't get scrutinised and you can read it for yourself... I'm so pissed off at this!!

to you all
Niyama

I think I'd like to work together again sometime and am plotting for the summer!
