About Me

A couple of visual people satisfied by the process of creation. Photos and films, predominantly. Interested in inverting commonly-held assumptions and in exploring the fringe. And exploring the fridge. Particularly Your Fridge. Sometimes we dance with our eyes closed, sometimes open. Sometimes we sing to the music, sometimes we just hang our head out the window while the other one drives. Or while you drive. We like to go somewhere and not have a reason. We also like to have a reason. We like imbalance and shapeshifting if the foundation's steady or the rhythm's right. We eat like we mean it -- with our hands. And we play in the mud with equal vigor.

My Interests

Emotional nudity. Vulgar nudity. Artifice. Release. Sadism or say, masochism, or say, endorphins. Modifications and the affects of well-living. Fleshy faces and all other parts. The hidden bits. The stuff behind the stuff you say. Scars. Tango. Bad hair, big teeth, open palms. Thumbsuckers. Trailer parks and high rises. Elevation and deflation. Assurance and wonder. Mystery from nature, not attempt.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone full. Anyone willing to get in front of the camera. Other photographers, artists, or lovers of visual things or lovers of women or lovers of men. Especially lovers of all those things. People who read the forgotten sections of the newspaper. Under-explainers and those who talk too much when they're nervous. Anyone who still gets nervous. Good energy exchangers. The gal that names the paint colors, the guy that names the lipstick. People who don't mind giving us a key to their house in exchange for surprises left behind.
