What am I Thankful for on this Thanksgiving? Well, I have a lot more to be Thankful for these days…

My fans, first and foremost!  You guys are the driving force that keeps me going and motivated…I strive every day to keep myself producing the best possible material for you all!  I love my fans deeply; you guys are the BEST!

The ability to leave a dead end job (and be able to now IDENTIFY it as “dead end”), and move into a career that I completely LOVE, for another thing.  This year marked my retirement from the traditional workforce and my becoming a full-time bondage photographer/producer;  SUCH an achievement in this day and age!  It’s almost unheard of for folks to be able to do this nowadays, with all the competition (and that’s not me whining about said competition…competition makes us all stronger, better producers), and my just being able to do so is an awesome achievement…one of the bigger ones in my life.

My best bud, Dave Annis, for sticking things out with me, helping me to become the photographer that I am with gentle guidance and tolerance for my sometimes manic mood swings.  😉  I truly believe that if it hadn’t been for Dave, I’d be stuck saying the line, “You Want Fries With That?” somwehere; it was his guidance that caused me to look at myself and my work and see the need for improvement, and to go thru the easier-than-first-thought steps to make said changes happen…and make me able to reap the benefits of the hard work involved.  I truly treasure his friendship and mentorship in my career.

As always and every day, I’m Thankful for my Models.  I can’t TELL you how much I Treasure and Respect all of them…without their patience and tolerance for some rough work done with them, I would not be where I am today.  To my Models…Thank You GREATLY and DEEPLY!!

But, like I said at the top…you fans are the BEST!  I love ya all large, people…THANK YOU!!
