It was in 1972 when JJ became acquainted with the various magazines that had the kind of photographs that he favored.

They were a bit expensive for a student, 10 USD, he claims. The ones that he liked the most were published by Home of Milan.

He bought a couple back then. He thought that he could do something like that, only more artistic and more to his taste.

But to get into Erotic Art in those days was not easy, he didn't know anyone in the business and he imagined then that it was probably controlled by the Mob.

He didn't like most of the porn magazines of the time, although he was impressed by their daring. There was something missing, for his particular taste.

He was a film student and part of his training was in still photography, in fact after a bried stint at CBS in New York he joined a commercial photography studio where he was involved in fahion and advertising.

He quit after two years to embark in the life of an independent filmmaker.

Finally, when he met Camille and she dared him to go into Erotic Filmmmaking with Red Feline on the Cross, he started doing what he thought would be impossible in 1972.

He concentrated on dramatic videos, as we all know by now, but he did play with still photography for a while, but not with the intention of doing it for his personal satisfaction

Some time ago JJ was discussing the up coming productions with Jane, when she suggested to take some pictures in the new set they were 'building'.

The two big cameras they have were not working so Jane suggested her "point and shoot" cameras where there's no control of the speed and exposure.

JJ was not sure if he would like to work with a camera where he didn't have control over what he was shooting. Nevertheless, he agreed and they proceeded to play with the camera.

The result was 9 sets of pictues for what will be the first of a series of photo shoots for RFPIX.

Recently, while building the set and setting up the cross, Jane went up to test it. JJ took the camera, and began to shoot a number of pictures of Jane "dancing" on her cross.

The situation was begging for a motion picture so JJ recorded it in video as well. The result a series of 54 stills and a 4 minute video, both of them featured in the club now.

Soon they were again playing with the set and the camera and so far they made four albums of pictures.
