Hello all,

Happy holidays to all of you. It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me. I went to vegas and had a wonderful time with Denise and my great and dear friends David and Paula. Well and Harry the dog of course.

Then Canton and the flea market. It was Densies's first Trade Days. Very spectacular really. Bought a few items for the Villa Hilla and then off to the street dance. Nothing like dancing with a bunch of women in 20 degree weather.

Lot's going on in the Arts and sciences for BY MILES. Stay to tuned to Miles on Fire .com and all that happens after...

New Year for me and new beginning for everyone.

Greetings from the fire

Howdy all,

I in the studio "NOISE" and working on some images. My friend the aussie musican Aldo is gearing up next door for the "Big Show". The "Aldo Leopardi" Band is awesome. They are playing downtown tomorrow night at "CASSELMANS BAR". A great venue and it's going to be a fabulous show. They come on at 10PM so get a ticket and don't miss it.

The new project is underway, the 40 and over beauty project has a name. Yeap, it's a rough one but one I think most will remember. "PRETTY BITCH". It will be moving forward quickly and there are some big things planned. I think you will be seeing it all over the place in the future.

There is so much beauty around it boggles the mind. That beauty is both inside and out. It has become very clear to me over the last few weeks.

Enjoy my favorite PRETTY BITCH LD

LIVE NOW, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Hola

Some crazy stuff going on. I have a big Platinum 90 test shoot on Sunday. Lots of photos in a very short amount of time. It's work but fun to see some new faces trying to break into the business. Alex with Plat 90 is rounding them up and I will be shooting them down.

Planning some Guatemala trips for the coming months. I will be exploring the mountain towns and doing some textile shopping for the Villa. Of course I will be shooting some video and stills of the mountain weavers I find. Stay tuned.

I have enclosed a photo of the Junk Diva.....right, I love the Villa Hilla

Check out the site for some new stuff.

Greetings from the field. It's been awhile and I know I promised a few more posts. Sorry, I will do better. Things have been so busy and crazy over the last few weeks. I've had to cancel my trip to the mountains of Guatamela this week. I managed to go mano a mano with the pig flu. We went the distance but I prevailed.

Halloween was a blast at the Villa Hilla. A new coat of paint and some groovy colors made the difference. How about Seaside Blue and Cherry Red. Yeap, it's a "wild thing". The truth is that I'm a terrible painter and will have do a bit more to get it right. Still the Halloween Mariachi was singing on the porch. Met lots of new folks and took a few pictures. Yes, it's amazing how many friends you have when you give away tequilla....

I had a great morning shoot with Liddie. It was cold and rainy right untill she left. Then the sun came out and it was fabulous. Check "Liddie in the robe" in face on the site.

Pictures of the crimp will be on after the next market. The mysterious Heidi also had a few pictures and will be a subject for next month I hope.

See the photo of my neighbors on the mountain. Crazy group of people. Come by and see me at 45 Lazy Daz lane.

More later.

Burningman 2009

All,

I didn't write much about Bman this last post. This year was overall a fantastic year. Not as hot as last year but I think overall more dusty. Lots of evening dust. My cameras are still covered in it and my truck looks like I just got back. The crap never comes off even with water. Oh well, nothing like a battel scar..

I am posting a few shots here and will be loading a bunch on the website. Come have a look. Next year is the year of the trailer for sure. More booze is also needed along with more trinkets. The notebook is full of stuff.

NEWS: I will be booking the hotel Masionnave in a couple of weeks to get set for next years bull run? Who's in?

Check out the site for more news and new photos.

Back in the saddle again

Hi friends,

It's been so long since my last post. So sorry. I've been on deaths door for a few. 5 broken ribs from a Vespa accident. Not my fault and they stole my Chinese food. Watch it, it's a jungle out there.

Before that I had an extraordinary time at BURNINGMAN. What a wonderful time. And a million thanks to my new adopted home....Camp Fiasco from Montrose Colorado. Thanks Stickerman. Take a look at the photos.

There is a ton going on. I spent me first weekend at the "Taj Mahill" the new name for the Canton, Texas Bungalow. What a fun time. Looking at putting up lots of art and doing a book on the place. All I have to do is keep handing out free booze and food.

I found some of the lost photos from my pin up shoot in the early summer. They were early in the shoot and aren't the best work but the models were amazing and it was pretty unlifting to know that I was such a slacker than I didn't format all of the cards.

I'm back trying to get my project going for women over 40. They are without a doubt treasures.

So enjoy the photos and I promise you will live the dream with me. Right...but I do promise to be relentless in posting.

Miles

Pimping the Crib

Greetings from the World HQ of By Miles. I have been somewhat diligent in my work on the bungalow. A bit crazy to have a place a thousand miles away from where I am supposed to live but..... I consider myself a citizen of the world.

This really is the best photo stop I have found. I will be putting together a few workshops here and can't wait to get going on some model shoots here not to mention getting dirty in the flea market.

Long drive back to Denver starting tomorrow. Some photo ops along the way I just feel it.

Stay tuned for before and after photos. Right now just before.

Miles
