These are from back in my old wedding and portrait photographer days. They would all be between 10 and 15 years old.

My first experience working with a model agency was not good. They ripped me off for about a grand, and ripped a few hundred parents off for thousands. I recall spending a few weeks tracking down as many parents as I could to offer them free photos because I didn’t want them thinking I was associated with those scum bags. My second experience with an agency was quite positive – but short-lived. If memory serves, the agency was called 20/20 Model and Talent and it was run by an extremely nice, honorable fellow by the name of Steve. Steve and I worked together for about six months before he announced that he was packing up and going on a world trip. Lucky bugger! Anyway, some of these were from my work with those agencies, and some were done on my own in the tiny little studio I kept in my apartment.

In some ways, I really miss the creativity of those times but, on the other hand, I certainly don’t miss the struggles I had trying to earn a living!

Anyway, here are a few of the photos I took from that era. Some are not exceptionally sharp because they are old scans (maybe some day I will get the negatives professionally scanned).
