When I flew to Oklahoma the second time, the guy sitting next to me in the airplane (and took my window seat, by the way) asked what would bring me to Oklahoma. I answered: "I am working for a modeling agency that is located in Tulsa" - He looked surprised and then said: "Tulsa would be the last place in the country where I would have expected modeling to go on".

And here we go - last year (2003), Travis moved to Los Angeles to check out his chances in "the industry". It didn't take more than three weeks, and he signed with Wilhelmina models. This is about as far as you can get. Congratulations, Travis!

And not much later, he got to know a beautiful girl, whom he married two months later. L.A. changes people quite fast. Now Travis, at the tender age of 21, is a husband and has two step daughters.

Who would ever be able to turn down this charming young sinner, Adam, offering the apple in paradise?

What I appreciate about Travis is his ability to pose and change positions, facial expressions and gestures without me having to say a lot. He is so funny, a comedian almost. I am sure Travis will find success, and I hope I have contributed to this a tiny little bit.

Tulsa, though a city of not much more than a half-million people, has a beautiful downtown with remarkable older buildings and skyscrapers. One of the tallest buildings is an identical, but smaller-scaled copy of the World-Trade-Center. I wonder how people working in an office in this building felt during and after the after the attacks of 9/11.
