Well folks thanks for the warm welcome and so glad to be back!!!! Even in the midst of all the business I managed to squeeze in some pin up shoots and the pictures you are a about to see are of my friend Ashley Lindroth.. This was one very fun shoot and it took place over Comicon weekend last July in San Diego. Nelson Ashley and I met on board the USS Midway for the shoot and that alone was one heck of a treat!!! What a cool ship and one awesome location for a vintage location!!! Ashley had picked up a beautiful blue and white Navy dress and some way cool earrings to make her outfit one fine addition to the shoot. She has one very sleek and elegant style to her posing and look and she made every picture perfect. She is one awesome talent and it was such a treat to work with her. Ashley looks great in either color or B&W and it was hard to decide what I liked best so you get the best of both worlds in the pictures today!!!! Thanks Ashley for the great day!!!! below is Ashley’s link to her pinup lifestyles page,, be sure to go have a visit and see some of her awesome work!!! http://www.pinuplifestyle.com/profile/AshleyLindroth Later that afternoon ”Myouterspace.com” had it’s launch party (also aboard the Midway) and William Shatner landed on board via helicopter to start the party off with some interviews and fun times. Levar Burton, and Brent Spiner were there as well as the Chiodo Brothers Dean Foster and a whole host of other fun sci Fi folks.The party went way into the night and the ship and the San Diego skyline was one really breathtaking site!!! OK then so with that here are some fun pics and hope you enjoy Ashley’s work as much as Nelson and I had working with her!!!

Thanks for posting.
Bests,

Thanks Richard,, Hey I was supposed to send you something wasn’t I?????
I do love those black and whites, John. They really help to capture to 1940′s era feel of your work.
My favourite one is of Ashley at the back of the F-14.
I love B&W’s too!!! Ashley submitted that piece to a mag called retro lovely and she says it made it in,,, I’m dying to see it!!!!
Simply beautiful and elegant! Great dress color – not only appropriate for the ship, but the colors complement her as well! Sounds like a blast, John!
This was a Great time!!!! I want to go back tomorrow!!! OH shoot it’s Monday have to go to work instead!!!
Great to have you back John, you been missed.
Ashley is a stunner, thanks for sharing these pic’s. I love all of them but the one behind the F-14 is my fav.
The’s an F14? The only thing I saw was that line going up the back of her stockings! That’s hot! She has great eyes too! Maybe a softer focus on the B&W’s would give it a more authenic feel, tho.
Cool pics! I was on the Midway with my friends that night and wondered if you were still around. That’s got to be the best party I’ll ever go to. Aircraft carrier, William Shatner, cool bands and fireworks… just incredible!
If I ever find myself in San Diego again I want to go back to the Midway and have a proper look at everything in the daylight.
