PrimalX, Otherworldly Photography
Frequently Asked Questions


WEBSITE

How often do you update this website??
At LEAST once a month, but often I post things as they are completed, so many times I update two or more times a month.

Why the nickname WolfCat?
Well, because of my deep love for animals, and my seeming indecision to favor wolves or cats (most of the sanctuary folks, and people in general, seem to favor one or the other). I love them both so much, I could never choose, and thankfully I don't have to! >^..^<

Will you make a website/work on a website for me?
No.

Will you make graphics for me?
No.


PHOTOGRAPHY

Can I use your photos on my website, in my magazine, for my school project, etc?
It depends on what you are going to do with them. ASK px at primalx.com for permission, I can be reasonable about these things.

What camera equipment do you use?
As of Spring 2004, I have gone digital! I have a Canon EOS D1 (used with a Speedlite 550EX flash). I use various Canon lenses and a ton of lens filters. From 1986 - Spring 2004 I had a Canon EOS 650 (used with a Speedlite 430EZ flash) and I used both Kodak and Fuji films.

How do you get the glowy, low-light effect?
I "slow-sync" the flash and camera by switching to Av Mode and setting the aperture as low as 3.5 - 4.0. This sets off the flash as the shutter opens, but the shutter remains open after the flash has died away, recording all the ambient light ;-)

Are your photos digitally enhanced?
My photographs have NOT been digitally enhanced. Some were retouched (skin blemish) or the contrast was adjusted. The special effects (starry twinkles, glowy lighting, blurs, etc.) were done in the PHOTOGRAPHY using "slow-sync" and various lens filters. The GRAPHOTO ART gallery is the only exception (photos digitally compiled and enhanced in PhotoShop).

Will you photograph me?
I am looking for fantasy shoot models.

Will you photograph my band?
No.

Can you put me in touch with one of the models or bands?
No.

Will you teach me about photography?
No.


PAGANISM

How long have you been pagan?
Officially since early 1985 (but I had leanings in that direction since I was a small child).

Will you teach me about paganism?
No.

Can you give me a spell or ritual/or do one for me?
No.

Do you sacrifice animals?
No. I RESCUE animals, VOLUNTEER at wildlife sanctuaries, and I am owned by many critters who call our house home. I RESPECT them as the souls they are, and love them with all of mine.

Do you worship the devil?
No.

Are you against Christianity (or any other religion)?
No. Faith of any kind is a wonderful thing! I respect yours, please respect mine.

What exactly do you believe?
Please see TEMPLE OF DREAMS.


URBANE APOTHECARY SHOPPE

Why are you no longer a partner of Urbane Apothecary Shoppe?
As of December 31, 2004, Marsha and I very amicably dissolved our partnership in the company. I wanted to concentrate 100% of my efforts on my photography, and felt like I could not give 100% to both UAS and PX. I believe my part in UAS was meant to be the muse in this endeavour. My wonderful friend and UAS Partner, Marsha Sorce, moved to Colorado in August 2004, and took over 100% ownership. UAS was closed November 9, 2005 after a long trademark battle. Marsha is still one of my best friends, one of my favorite models, and I am still one of her best customers!
