  1. I can't seem to get enough of Ryans work. The more you post the more interested I become LOL. I've noticed that with some photographers you use your own name and with others your Model name, any paticular reason? Also why did you stop adding captions to your posts?

  2. I almost always use Nettie Harris because;
    a: she is my hero and
    b: to protect myself and my families Christian name.

    Sometimes I'll still add captions to my posts when very inspired.
    but I prefer
    a: for the images to speak for themselves/let the viewers sub-concious determine his inturpretation unless there is a "particular meaning" to an image
    b: putting yourself out there on the internet emotionally/intellectually has consequences I like to avoid personally.

    Harper Lee is quoted saying "Well, it's better to be silent than to be a fool." when confronted with her quiteness.
