Fuck. (Patreon)

W/@baldwinner. I know I've been posting less, but this year is honestly fucking ridiculous. The last couple of weeks has taken any last ounce of emotional energy I had, and it feels wrong to post and act like everything is fine. I've spent hours upon hours reading, researching, consuming media, reflecting, and trying to find ways to strategize my place and duty among all of this grief. It's hard to feel inspired to do anything but contemplate the massiveness of what needs to be done and how I can help execute it. I also realize how important it is to pace yourself with these things and not burn out. It's easy to get overwhelmed. I won't go into more than that for now, because I'm sure that's enough to understand and relate to. But I do plan to channel some of this built up emotion into creating for you (and me). In the meantime, I'm sharing this superrrr old set.

I've never really shared these photos. It was Baldwin and my's first set together and he only ever comes to San Francisco for like 24 hours at a time. It was already dark by the time we started shooting so we messed around with artificial light and flash-- two of my least favorite light sources lol but since this day we've shot several more times and learned eachother and grew together in the art we create. I don't bond with every person I shoot with, but after this shoot I said I'd stay for one glass of wine and I ended up going home after tequila, sake, and ramen. Thankful for memories like that.
