The
sessions that closed 1999 for me were six months in the planning, but
were not really finalized until I received a phone call late in the
afternoon on Christmas day (from Joe, who'd last worked with me in August), asking if I was free to work that evening. The answer was
obvious for me, so after an early movie, I met Joe and his
partner, Billie, at the studio for a session that would stretch into the
early hours of Boxing Day.

Though
I'd never met Billie before, she was familiar with my work from the
internet, and was willing, with only a little initial nervousness, to
try some images working with Joe. We began with some simple standing
poses, and the evening grew from there.

Probably
the biggest influence on my work from the last month or so was my
increased use of medium format cameras, initially a borrowed Bronica
system, and with Billie and Joe, a Hasselblad. Using the medium format
camera radically changes how I work in the studio, permitting me to make
images faster, and more spontaneously than with a view camera, and
giving me far more freedom in framing and composition.
