September 5, 2006 - WooHoo!  I got myself a new camera... a Pentax K100D Digital SLR.  I really like this camera.
 I have already shot a few times with it.  Check out
Sarah's page for new photos from our recent shoot.  Watch for
new pics of
Alisha... from our session just a couple days ago.  And I also have some very nice scenic photos from
our local park that I'll put up.  Keep checking back.  I also updated my
page that shows the variations and effects I
use on photos.  More to come...
August 19, 2006 - I finally got around to updating pages here... it's still a work in progress.  I updated Erin's page,
Sarah's page, and the page with my pics of Melissa.  I even updated my portfolio page.  I have some home projects
coming up and thought I better get these updates done.  I am also working on getting a new
Sony D-SLR camera...
looking forward to it.  I'm hoping to get it before my shoot with
Alisha in September.  I need to see if I can find me
some photo-gigs to help me pay for the new equipment, but it's gonna be nice!
July 21, 2006 - OK, so it's been awhile since I've been here.  I am planning on updates and changing pages
across the site, and making additions in the near future.  This will include revisits to past shoots, where I've
reworked some of those shoots.  Thanks to all my supporters and the wonderful models I'm in contact with.  If
you'd like to see my updated photography, visit my
MYSPACE page.
April 18, 2006 - Have been very busy with work and with my photography.  I just recently finished up shooting with
my two good friends, Missy and Erin... for a whole week!  Most of that shooting took place in the evenings and
weekends, but we had a blast and shot way so many pics.  I just finished sorting them out.  I'll share as I get them
edited.
March 10, 2006 - Just had a great photo session with model Sarah.  We had gotten together to shoot photos for
a client, but we could never let the opportunity of shooting stuff for ourselves get by.  So, we also have new
photos for our portfolios.  And I must say, Sarah looks as good as she ever has.  And working with her is so easy.
Honestly, I liked the photos so much, I had a tough time sorting out the keepers to prepare for using.  I'm happy to
have had the opportunity to work with her again.  I have also worked with
Melissa again, and have photos to edit
and add... so keep checking back on her page too.  There are always photos for Missy.
February 16, 2006 - To borrow a line from an old friend, "Gosh-Oh-Mighty!" what a weekend I just had.  I am in
the process of editing pics from my recent shoot with
Melissa and Erin.  Yes, they were both here at the same
time, and we all hung out and worked together for three days!  And it was such an amazing experience!  Trust me
when I say that you must keep checking back for updates on both their pages.  I hope to have Erin's page
updated a ready to show by the end of the weekend.  And of course, I can never wait to get pics of Missy up and
showing off her amazing beauty.  So, keep checking back.
January 28, 2006 - Fun, Fun, FUN!  Just had a great shoot session with Melissa a couple days ago... she had a
project, and while we were at it, shot more stuff for ourselves.  We got some really cool shots... as I edit them, I will
place some on her page.  With as much as I shoot with her, I think she needs a bigger page!  ;)
Good News Too!  I will SOON be shooting with pretty Ms Erin, who will be flying in just to work with me.  We will be
shooting for two days, so there will be a ton of photos coming.  Oh, you'd like to see who Erin is?  Then
click here.
January 14, 2006 - I've always said that as long as my model and I like the results of our photo sessions, that's
what matters most.  And I always try to continually improve from shoot to shoot... always seeing room for
improvement.  But I just have to say that I am SO pleased with my latest shoot with
Melissa.  She always looks
great, but these new photos are the best I've shot yet.  It's got me excited about shooting... I need to go do more.  
Damn, but I wish I had a model next door!  LOL!
January 6, 2006 - Happy New Year!  My wish for you is that your new year always bests your previous.  If January
is any indication of what the rest of my year will be like, I'll be quite pleased.  I have a few shoots in the works...
some are with new models, and I have scheduled another shoot with the lovely, Ana Marie for the middle of this
month.  She is always a blast to work with... looking forward to that.  Please keep checking back for details and
updates.  I have been working on this site almost daily... tweeking and adding.
December 19, 2005 - OK... so it's been awhile since I gave you some news here.  I apologize.  But I do have
some updates for you.  The calendar project has run into a snag and is on hold for the moment... hopefully to
resume in 2007.  My photography has gotten to the point where I now shoot as often as I'd hope to be.  In fact, if I
get any busier, I might have to turn some shoots down.  I have updated my site with
new family photos, and a new
photo page from my recent shoot with
Alisha.  Also, there are some photos from a recent shoot with Kelly, and a
couple of pics from my calendar shoot with
Britney Lee at the top of my portfolio page... so check those out too.  
Have a happy holiday, and Merry Christmas!
November 6, 2005 - I know... it's getting a little late in the year, and this calendar project is running behind
schedule.  But, I'm hoping it will be well worth it when it does finally come out.  Sometimes things just happen that
force us to change the planned schedule of this calendar.  Maybe we'll just try to make it a 14 month calendar
since you've been patiently waiting.  Otherwise, I'm just trying to catch up on some photo editing I still need to get
done for models I've worked with.
October 20, 2005 - I'll soon begin shooting the models for the 2006 Erotic Expression's Calendar.  I'll be
photographing 11 of the 12 models.  I'm excited for the opportunity, but things will continue to be busy.  I have
since finished the
apparel page, and also a separate page that shows an extra picture of the gals.  Also check my
individual model pages for picture updates there too.  See
Erotic Expressions to pre-order your calendar... I
understand that the first 1000 calendars sold will be autographed be EACH model!  WOW!
October 12, 2005 - Things are still rolling, and I'm getting much closer to knowing which models will be in the
calendar... I'll know next week.  But I've also been very busy shooting the pics for the cool
Erotic Expressions
Apparel.  Keep checking out the
apparel page here for more and more added photos as I make them ready.
Also, since I have been shooting with models for the apparel, there will more
featured model pages here at Geo's
Place.  I have worked with three new models, and continue more shoots with
Melissa... turning out to be my
favorite model, and a good friend!  Keep checking back often, I'm adding almost daily.     
September 27, 2005 - No complaints here, but I have been SO busy.  But it's been a good busy because I'm
doing what I enjoy.  Even though I am still editing and have a lot more to do, I have finished enough pictures to put
up a couple more featured model pages.  
Melissa is another model... and good friend that I worked with last week.
She's great to work with and fun to be around.  She and I will be shooting together again soon.
I had told you about
Tawny last week, and now I have photos to prove it.  She was a blast to work with too.  So
make sure you check out the pages for both these
models.
I will go back to work editing photos, and should be done with most of the remainder by the weekend.  Then I'm
trying to set up another shoot for this Saturday to photograph more of
Erotic Expressions Apparel.  So, be
patient... there's still more to come.  
September 19, 2005 - WOW!  I had busy but fantastic weekend.  I worked with a very beautiful Model Leah K
(
Model Mayhem #8841) on Saturday for two hours.  And THEN on Sunday, I had the privilege of working with
Tawny Y (
Model Mayhem #7603 ) for more than three hours.  So, as you might guess, I shot a lot of photos.  I so
enjoyed working with both these models and hope I get to work with them again.  We shot some photos with the
models wearing the Erotic Expressions Apparel.  If you're a model, make sure you check out the
calendar project
I'm involved with for Erotic Expressions... you could end up being IN the calendar.  OK now, I have LOTS of editing
to do, so I have to go get to work... keep checking back for results.    
August 31, 2005 - Summer was good.  My kids are back in school and we had a great time with them for the past
10 weeks.  It's still hot here, and probably will be through September... but that's OK.  Thanks to a great new site I
found, I was able to connect with a lot of photographers and models, and have worked with a very nice model.  Her
name is Michelle, and the pics are up right now... so go check them out and tell me what you think of her page
here.  I found her and a lot of other models at Model Mayhem.  It's a fantastic site for photographers, models and
MUA to meet and network.  I hope to find more models to work with there.  I don't think any other site has produced
more activity for me than
Model Mayhem... and it's FREE!  Check it out!
May 12, 2005 - FINALLY!  I just put up a new page in my models section containing a collection of photos from my
shoot with Sarah Zuber.  I believe that this is the third private shoot we've done together, and we've always both
liked the results... we just work good together.  This time is no different.  In fact, I may have to go back into the
many photos we shot, and pull more pics to add to the collection.  Please let us know what you think of the
photos... Sarah also has an email address through my site now as well.
My kids will be coming to spend the summer with us on June 4th.  I was hoping to get another shoot in with a new
model I just met, but I don't know if it will happen before then.  We'll see.  
March 26, 2005 - So I was talking to a friend who admires my photography and the models I work with, and he
asked why I don't do shoots more often.  He even offered me some support.  As we talked about it, he told me that
I should offer a means by which supporters can contribute.  So, if you look around at the bottom of various pages
here, you'll see my PayPal Donate button.  That's what it's for... I call it my
shoot fund, and it goes towards putting
together and paying for more model sessions.  I've got a good "day job" and have everything I need, so this is
purely just to contribute to more shoots and photo pages here.  As always, I appreciate any and all support,
comments and compliments to what I do.  Feel free to email me with suggestions and ideas.
March 14, 2005 - OK, so you're thinking that this site has been abandoned... afterall, it has been a long time since
I worked on it.  It's funny, 'cause I have been talking with models... even had some sessions set up.  Things
happen, and I guess I've been focusing my efforts elsewhere.  I'll get another shoot set up to add to the site.  On a
personal note... my parents will be coming to visit in the middle of April.  Looking forward to that.  I appreciate all
who have visited and signed my guest book too.  Thanks.  Feel free to drop me a line anytime.  
December 29 - OK... so, I have been bad about keeping in touch.  Sorry about that.  I would use the excuse that
I'm busy, but most everybody is.  And, it's an excuse that's used a lot.  I have been focused on other things, but I
will stay connected with my photography and will shoot more in the future.  My kids have been here for the
Christmas holiday season... it's been a joyous time.  I hope that you, your family and your holiday are all wonderful.
 I'm thinking about putting together a calendar card and sending out to my friends and models, so if you'd like
one... let me know.
October 27 - Been busy with work.  But I have been talking with a few models and hope to be doing some photo
sessions soon.  I'll keep you updated.  I'm sitting here listening to a new CD I bought today... Los Lonely Boys.  I
bought the CD for the song "Heaven".  I'm inspired by their talent and sound.  It's not often at all that I buy a CD
and really like most of the cuts.  Gives my the itch to pick up the guitar and get back into my music.  It would be
cool to be part of a group that plays stuff like these guys.  I recommend
Los Lonely Boys.
October 17 - Back from Colorado.  I had a good time visiting with family and friends.  The fall colors, although past
peak, were still wonderful to see.  I got a few photos of the mountain ranges... traveling to a few of the different
locations near Pagosa Springs.  If you go to my "
Various Photos" page, you can look at them.  I merged some to
create some panoramics.  There's also a second page with old
family pics.  When I have my 35mm film developed,
I'll post more.
October 5 - Finally, after some juggling of schedules, I'm taking some time off and going to Colorado to visit
friends and family on October 9.  I really want to get there in time to get some good fall colors photos.  The
changing colors can be very bright and vibrant if you catch them at their peak.  It will only be my brother and I going
on this trip. I'm not sure I'll have access to my email so if you happen to contact me and don't get a response,
hopefully you'll understand.  I'll share some photos and stories when I get back on October 16.
September 16 - Maybe it's the new site here... maybe it's the alignment of the stars (kidding).  But, I'm getting a lot
more response from photographers, fans, and models alike.  It's cool... I'm inspired.  Maybe I'll try to set up a photo
session for sometime next month.  If you're a local (Southern California) model or will be travelling through, and
you'd like to shoot some pics for your book,
contact me.  I still haven't set the Colorado trip with my brother in stone
yet, but it probably won't be until October.
September 2 - Most of the set up for my new page is done.  It looks like I might be going to Colorado for a week
with my brother within the next few weeks.  He has some things he needs to take care of there.  Me, I'll go to help
Larry drive the 15 hours (each way), visit with mom and dad, and take advantage of the changing fall colors by
taking some nice outdoor scenic photos.  Sue and I would like to have some nice pics  for our living room since the
walls are so bare.  I have been busy making us some cool mirrored window frame looking wall hangings for the
living room.  All I have to do is hang them up.  I'll take some pictures of them and put them in the
Accomplishments
page so you can see how my grandfather used to make furniture with marbles inlaid.  I like how it looks, so I thought
I'd remember him by building these in this manner.  
August 22 - I have been doing little else other than working on this site.  It's very time consuming, but I'm really
liking the results.  This new site allows me more space and traffic... and it's kinda cool to have your own domain
name.  I had thought of using geosilva.com, but with silvaventures.net, it leaves the door open to more of the things
I do, and have done.
As I mentioned on my "
about" page, while my kids are here for the summer, I don't usually schedule any private
shoots with models.  So, I haven't done much for the past couple months.  But I'll try to go to a couple of the
photodays shoots... I hadn't been in such a long time.  
As always, I encourage your input and feedback (and support of my photography)... so feel free to contact me.

September 26, 2006 - To update you... I am still uploading new pics to a few of the pages.  I edit pics almost every
day.  And I am busy networking with models and photographers on myspace and other sites.  Even though I'm still
getting used to my new camera, I really am pleased with what I'm getting from it.  
November 19, 2006 - It's been a busy time for me, but I now have new lighting to go with my new camera, so I'm
excited to shoot.  I did a shoot last week, and have been doing some
headshots, but I'm excited about new shoots
coming up.  Keep checking back for details... trust me, it'll be worth the wait.  Have a good Thanksgiving Holiday!
March 10, 2007 - Bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth, huh?  Although that might make a few people
happy if I did, I'm still here.  I just recently got around to working with a new model,
Danielle... got great images and
had a lot of fun.  It's not like I haven't been trying to shoot more... coordinating schedules is tough.  I did have a
shoot scheduled earlier... answered a casting call from a
model who wanted me to travel to her, only to have her
text and cancel me half way in route to work with her that day.  Needless to say, I was not happy... that was a lot of
effort and expense on my part for nothing.  I also shot the stills for the play my wife is involved in... The Crucible at
The Gallery Theatre.  Although I still have lots to learn about shooting in dimly lit theatres, I think the photos turned
out well.  They served a good purpose.  If you're my friend at
myspace, you can see the blog with photos from that
play.  Hopefully, I can shoot with another model soon...
March 29, 2007 - Look like I'll be shooting again on Saturday... with who, you ask?  You'll just have to keep
checking in to find out.  Just got back from Napa and enjoyed a short relax time there.  I got a few scenic photos that
I've put up on my myspace page.  I'll try to get them up here too.  I hope you like the new layout of my site here.  
Although I didn't change every page, many pages got slight adjustments or changes.  I welcome your input.
April 7, 2007 - Can I just say, "Adena is amazing!"  That young lady NEVER ceases to amaze me.  We have now
worked together for a second time.  And if I may brag, it's my best photography to date.  I shot this session with no
flash lighting.  I only used my studio lighting, but got some very good results.  I'm sure that somebody with the full
knowledge of photography can pick my work apart, but since I only shoot for my book and experience, I can say
that my photography is in a happy place and I'm excited to do more.  See the results on
Adena's page
May 12, 2007 - If you were guessing by the updates I do here and at my other photo sites, you'd think that I
decided to shoot only with Adena from now on.  I love working with her, but I swear, I'm setting up other shoots as
well.  But speaking of Adena, I have updated her feature page with new shots from our third session.  I'm always
pleased with what I get working with her, and this set is no exception.  She looks awesome, but see for yourself.  I'm
sure I'll be working with her again in the near future, but soon also with another new model... stay tuned.
