About Me |
|
This account is intended primarily to showcase some of my photography and writings. Your comments and feedback are appreciated. If you'd like to see more, please CLICK HERE to visit my website. I've put some of my photos from my trip to Thailand online. There are a couple galleries and I'll be adding more. CLICK HERE to browse. I'm always happy to meet models, artists, dancers, yogis, gymnasts, contortionists, bodybuilders, stylists, and other creative people interested in collaborating on art projects. Due to unexpected health issues, I now have to reserve my energy for projects that are meaningful to me. If you're interested in learning more about me as a person, please visit my personal myspace account. Thanks for stopping by! A more formal bio: Barry Kapke has been a fine arts photographer for over twenty years, working mostly in northern California. He has a perceptive eye for line and composition, and much of his work is with the nude form, although he does striking portraiture as well. He is patient, soft in manner, very easy to work with, and he collaborates with aspiring, as well as professional, models. Currently, he is working mostly in a digital format. Much of his time in the last 15 years has been involved with teaching and writing about massage and bodywork therapies. Now unemployed due to health limitations, he has returned to his first passion - viewing the world through a photographer's eye. With a background as both a dancer and a videographer, he enjoys exploring movement, time, and transformation, and as a meditator, he appreciates stillness and the interior landscape. He enjoys working in nature as well as in the more controlled environment of a studio. He is a perceptive observer, skilled in capturing the beauty he sees before him. Barry is currently working on a series exploring Buddhist temples in Thailand. It's not easy for me to ask for help (or to accept it) but it is clear that I need to learn to do so. I have advanced colon cancer and have run out of resources. I have come to Thailand to try to heal myself, having refused radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. If you are able to contribute to my medical care fund, this will allow me to pursue alternative treatments. I have been touched deeply by the generosity of my friends, my students, and even complete strangers. Thank you for your assistance, your love, your kindness, your warm thoughts. |

My Interests |
|
I enjoy photography , massage , poetry , writing , and Buddhist meditation . I adore cats, hot tubs, lying nude in the sun, art, modern dance, butoh, contact dance, music, yoga, cuddling, kissing, sensual pleasures, laughter. I'm curious about people, exploring new places, tattoos, piercings, gender identity, androgyny, conscious sexuality (tantra), contortionists, other cultures. I like road trips, people watching, deconstructing identity. I love France, especially in the south, and want to explore Thailand, Bali, Cuba, and Brazil. I try to practice kindness, compassion, patience, curiosity. I learn many lessons from cats and children. I think sax and stand-up bass are sexy. Love You are a lover of love. You love to love and be loved. You are perhaps a hopeless romantic but those are rare nowadays. Think of it as a gift. Whether you are saving yourself for that special someone or you have already found him or her. You are part of an almost extinct species of human. The kind that believe in true love... Because love is truly beautiful! Take the quiz: "What do you love about making love?" CURRENT MOON moon info |
