1987 Original Kodachrome Slide – Lynn Lowton

An original 1987 35mm Kodachrome slide from my collection, featuring Lynn Lowton, also known as Lynx. Lynn went on to become Europe’s “Most Glamorous Magician” and “Britain’s Only Naked Magician.” Beyond her magic career, she worked as an exotic dancer and appeared in the adult film industry under various names. This transparency captures the bold and unapologetic allure of her multifaceted career, preserved in the vibrant detail unique to Kodachrome film.

This slide is part of my growing collection of vintage photography, showcased on my website at https://www.secondfocus.com/index/G0000h1LWkCCepcc The collection is relatively new and expanding—keep coming back to see more additions!


Apple Upside Down

This is why Apple probably won’t be calling me for their next ad campaign. I got the logo upside down. For more of my mistakes visit my website at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!



“Trump was amazing in bed”



This original slide transparency features Sandra Taylor, also known as Sandi Korn, Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 1991. She famously said, “Donald Trump was AMAZING in bed’: Former Penthouse Pet reveals the presidential hopeful had his secretary track her down after spotting her in a sexy magazine spread… and he didn’t disappoint”. Along with Trump she is said to have had relationships with other high profile individuals. Following her modeling career, Sandra transitioned into acting, with roles in films such as *Batman Forever*, *L.A. Confidential*, and *Runaway Bride*. This transparency is in my collection acquired from the archives of Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse Magazine archives. Uncensored in the first showing of my collection at https://secondfocus.com/index/G0000h1LWkCCepcc More will be added. Thanks!

Vintage Risqué 150

From the moment the camera was invented, it didn’t take long for photographers to explore the sensual and intimate side of human expression. Man went looking for naked women.

While collections of vintage cars, airplanes, tourist destinations, and family moments abound, there’s another side of photography that’s rarely celebrated: risqué and erotic imagery. I started searching out collections and this is the first of 150 photographs of erotica I have found. My own videos from pornochic to food, on my website at https://www.secondfocus.com/video Take a look and Thanks!


Video Again

I started up the video component of my work again. I had let it lapse for some time. On July 10th I renewed it and have been uploading my first explorations in video. Mostly somewhat behind the scenes of my photoshoots. Handheld cameras, short video clips, somewhat explicit. I think today looking back, they are great fun. And I guess my viewers do too. Not bad for just 7 days. On my website, click the menu bars at the top and click video. Thanks! http://SecondFocus.com


Kajira On My Website

One of my all time favorite photoshoots. Kajira is what is described of the famous photographer Helmut Newton genre’ of “PornoChic”. I have devoted a gallery of 100 of her fashion Turban photographs on my website. And ten video clips behind the scenes. These are my early attempts at video, only 20 seconds each. I think they are great fun. At http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!

Dakota Floating In Sheer White


My very beautiful friend Dakota, the new gallery on my website Dakota in the pool floating in white sheer fabric. A series of 24 from the day of our photo shoot. Take a moment to look. I think you will remember you did. Thank You!


75 of Shauna On Red Leather


A red leather chaise lounge invites a break during the day. I selected 75 of one series from a day of shooting. I think the series is more intriguing than just one. On my website at https://www.secondfocus.com/index/G0000R1I.kt6G8J8

Meet Me Around Back

She said “Meet me around back, I’m thirsty and I’ll buy you a drink”. From our photo shoot.


Pool Walking

From a photo shoot where I was also shooting video clips to incorporate in a gallery exhibit. It was successful. Palm Springs California

In The Summer

I always get asked what it is like to do photoshoots here in Palm Springs in the Summer when it is so hot, typically 100+°. Well it is like this.

Color Checker

Some time back my large color checker went missing. Probably got left in a gym during a shoot. Now I can’t find my small version. I am sure it will turn up but probably will have to buy a new one until then. Makes me feel better about color matching under different lighting when it is color critical.

Framing The Shot

A model helping me understand how to best imagine the framing of a shot during our photo shoot.


Nova With Nova

I was so very pleased to have found Nova. Totally random but for some reason I remembered her. I collect these Hasselblad books. Nova Published In Hasselblad Victor Photography Book One. Original photograph by Damon Loble. Nova was very excited to see this. She had never seen it before.

Booth Or Table

I told her that if she got there first to go ahead and pick either. Good choice! From our photo shoot. Melyssa.

Pool Service

The pool and decking has been beautifully redesigned and rebuilt since then. I wonder if I should keep the same pool service?

The Reading Room

Sometimes models just drop by to read and look at my collection of large format photo books and magazines. Model Jamie Lovelle.

Lighting Class

From time to time I have been asked to do lighting classes on photographing models and using lighting modifiers. I doubt if my ideas would get me any manufacturer backing. However some photographers might sign up. What do you think?

Danger Diabolik

Marisa Mell as Eva in the movie Danger Diabolik being projected on a wall at an event for Palm Springs Modernism Week 2014. The erotic look of her dress and the scene is my idea of Mid-Century Modern.


Back To School

Back to school in Montreal seems like it might be more fun than where I see parents go shopping.
