Today’s Special Post by Joe Farace
That’s what I love about the Internet. Even if it’s small-scale and you’re just posting on a forum, that’s an uncensored expression. That’s what I love.—Felicia Day

Starting next week and for the next—who know show many—weeks you will see a different kind of post, mostly on Thursdays, that will be displayed on the main page and will be marked as “Password Protected” or maybe just “Protected” because WordPress keeps changing how it handles these kinds of posts.
Password Protected?
For the most part, the posts, will be a series of glamour and boudoir photography-oriented blogs that will feature images of many of the beautiful models with whom I’ve had memorable shoots with over the past several years. The posts will feature detailed descriptions of how these images were made including (when available) photographs of the lighting setups used along with details on the cameras and specific lighting equipment used to make the photographs. The actual EXIF-based exposure for these images will be mentioned, for those readers who find this information useful. But that’s not all…
For the first time—and this shows up first in my upcoming post about working with the dynamic model Alice Ivers—I will take you “behind the pages” as some of the actions that happened back in they heyday of print magazines. Few photographic print magazines survive except for those that are part of membership organizations whose member’s dues subsidize the publication along with some fine art quarterlies. Some of these insights may provide a look into why, while England an Japan support a wide variety of photo magazines, the US does not. For the first time in this blog’s history, you will be able to see completely uncensored photographs of these models and some opinions too!
In order for readers of this blog to be able see the content of these Password Protected posts, photographers who are members of the second ($2/50/month) or third tier ($5/month) of my Patreon will receive a unique password allowing them access the posts and see the uncensored images and posts. If you are not currently a subscriber,, sign up now to get acces to all past and future posts. If this program is somewhat successful, at some time in the future, I plan to include galleries where these subscribers will be able to view several images of the models from the shoot documented in the post. It all depends on how well the response is to these posts. No response? Well….
This Is Just a Test
This is just a test. If nobody signs up to the Patreon for the top two tiers during this test period, I will stop the Password Protected posts and they may, or may not, be deleted from the Blog. And, of course, Patreon subscriptions may be canceled at any time so if you don’t like these posts, you may quit at any time and your unique password will be disabled.
This is just a test; give it a try for a month—or not—it’s all your call. Either way, I want to thank you for all of your support over the years.
