Journal & Announcement 3.21.2017 (Patreon)

There's a slight possibility that I secretly traveled recently...I actually do this more often than people might think. Every now and then I go somewhere for downtime, to see friends, to go to a museum without interruption. I think my job has taken quite a lot of joy out of traveling. I used to be completely enamored of new places, the smells, what the people there did, where they bought bread or coffee, how to get from point A to B, new museums...and now I go somewhere and find the bed I'll be sleeping in before working. The smells are an afterthought that occasionally catch me off guard in quiet moments, the people are walking too slow to who knows where, bread and coffee are quickly found in little corner stores at 6am and eaten without pleasure, getting from point A to B is simply a matter of course, not an adventure. Occasionally I have enough time to see a museum, many times not.

So traveling in secret or seeing friends while not between shoots, having time to talk for a long period of time, has become really wonderful.

My announcement today is that I'll be sharing some photos from Diana Schenkel on my patreon. I'd been thinking about it for a while...Diana is my closest collaborator and has been since I started modeling. We have an amazing collection of work we haven't shown, thousands of images, and we have a similar aesthetic. So I'd like to occasionally share some photos in sets here (also at the $10 level). I will of course note which images are Diana's, and while my work will still be primarily what I post, I'd love to share something a bit different from someone who is so close to me.
