Unbeknownst to me this would become a collaboration between Me, the model, and Mushka (pronounced Mooshka), my German Shepard/Doberman mix. I did this shoot with Miriana in a run down shack behind my apartment, leaving my poor dog (who suffers from separation anxiety) in her kennel all afternoon. Once the shoot was done, I left the rolls of film on the kitchen counter. I went to work the next day and when I came home, I found that Mushka had David Copperfielded her way out of her kennel and destroyed my kitchen. I found one of the rolls of film I shot on the ground... Mushka had used it as a chew toy. There were mutliple puncture marks in the canister. I was scared that the roll was ruined, but low and behold, Mushka had created these awesome light leaks! I was so mad at the time, but she really did help me create some amazing images.

These are some promotional shots I did for "Some Beasts", a feature film that I was Director of Photography on. These were done in Austin, a while after we wrapped principle photography in Virginia. My Kiev 60 Medium Format camera's shutter decided to stick and created these crazy light leaks. We ended up not using any of them. At the time I was devastated and never gave the frames another look until now. With years of creative growth behind me (and many more in front of me) I find I am more drawn to the "mistakes" in my work like this then the "perfectly realized" shot I strove for at the time.
