Taylor, Men in Monochrome (NSFW)

Taylor, Men in Monochrome (NSFW)

About a year ago, I met a charming human named Taylor. I first met him on social apps and Instagram. I was really hooked on him as a person as we started talking. 

You know how parents tend to refer to their newborns as “little bundles of joy” (usually until they turn 2)? Well, that is still how I would describe Taylor.  If I had to guess, I’d say I’ve never spent longer than 3 minutes with him…

William L. – Masculinity and Body Image (NSFW)

I’ve been working on the Masculinity and Body Image project for about 2.5 years. Like many things in my life, when I become focused on a particular thing, I can’t let it go and throw all my concentration on it; be it the desire for a new lens, a type of food, my day job, etc.  In terms of art, I started shooting it in August of 2015, and that was all I photographed until I finally burned myself…

What would happen if you were as transparent with the world as you are with the person to whom you’re closest?

Remove doubt. Remove insecurity. Remove fear. Remove anxiety. Remove your projections of what others will think. Be yourself. Love yourself. Love others openly. Accept the validity of other points of view and state your own. Wonder about the world. Wonder about yourself. Ask questions. Clarify. Be naked and impenetrable to the judgements of others.

If you don’t live your life, you’re living the life you think everyone else wants of you.

From the Aug. 17, 1953 fashion feature: “NEW HEAD HOLD—Hair And Hats Stay Put With Resilient Comb.” According to LIFE, “Feathercombs” are made of highly resilient Swedish music wire, expand slightly as they are inserted, then contract to remain firmly in wearer’s hair. These were invented by advertising art director Andrew Smith for his wife and mother. The image above was published with the following caption: “Jeweled version holds cocktail hat (Chanda, $55) at reckless angle.

After 3 years away, I’ve decided to venture back into digital photography. This was an image I took of my boyfriend this afternoon in the morning light of our apartment.
