I'd like to meet:
people that other people say are "too intense"
creatives. artists. drag performers. gender benders. generous millionaires. people who like (and want)to be photographed. eccentric fringe types. someone bigger than me who will walk through dark alleys at night where i like to take pictures. someone who will do my laundry. a partner in crime with a simultaneously evil and knowing glint in their eye.
