what i do in a nutshell:
the blog is a diaristic mix of my photography and words which are about food and fuck and a couple of things in between.
my photography is all about my life, a visual journal. i like to make portraits of friends or people that i’d like to become friends with. i especially like to photograph dominatrixes. i am very attracted to their beauty, intelligence, strength, and confidence. they have always given me a side of themselves, a piece of their true identity. they bring it, they’re real and that turns me on. i love real people.
Cupcake is a series of images that i took with my point and shoot camera during my travels over the course of two years. it is much like my blog in the sense that i fucked and ate often during that time and tried to grab a piece of it photographically. i had been involved in the world of kink and liked to capture moments within. sometimes i was the voyeur and sometimes a participant, usually both. almost none of the content within the frame had been tampered with before i took the photo and i thought it was so interesting that life is filled with such good presentation. a manicured fried egg breakfast plate placed on a stark white table with the a fork so shiny and clean i can see my reflection. its like this everywhere, it’s like life is a creative director. there is so much color and interestingness all over this joint. and light, so much light. which brings me to This Morning, The Dress, The Curtains, The Light. i like to think of this working series as a more mature version of Cupcake and that may be simply because i am using a bigger camera. i have been photographing it over this past year or so. it is again a visual diary and has a lot to do with life’s presentation but for these i have taken a few steps back to grab a larger chunk. i suppose i’m seeing the bigger picture.
