Just to clear the air, I was the photographer involved in the "porn" incident. The story got so blown out of proportion it's amazing. I was shooting a model and we were shooting very artistic nude shots - no porn. I chose Shireland because of the uniqueness of the land and it's remotness. we shooting very beautiful work with light and shadow. The deputies who arrested us tried to talk the person who pressed the charges (someone who leases the land) into dropping them because they thought we weren't doing any harm and were being respectful of the property. After we appeared 3 times in court the charges were dropped because he didn't show up to court any of those times.

Just wanted to clarify what we were doing. Storeis can really get exagerated when people don't know the truth.
