Just for Fun

Just for Fun

This is an image taken by a former boyfriend. I was maybe 20 here, living in New Paltz, NY, where I attended university. He and I have known each other since the age of 14, and enjoyed many new experiences together in our teenage years. We ventured out on our first road trips together, music festivals, dabbled in all kinds of fun things related ...

Brick-and-mortar morning,

This is the first of many;

Abandoned.

And I get to look at all—

To the changing seasons,

With future.

Seven Summers Ago w. Photosensualis

Seven Summers Ago w. Photosensualis

Here is a polaroid from my very first shoot with artists who have become my dearest friends.

What a glorious morning this was. It was pouring when I arrived to the wrong building (I accidentally went to their gallery, not their studio). So when I finally made it to the house, I was completely soaked. It was so gloomy in the morning, we act...

I am very reserved about posing intimately. There are only a few artists I trust to take photographs like these. Photosensualis is a long time collaborative friend, whom I trust deeply. Please remember these images are copyrighted and very sensitive. Do not copy, print or repost in any way.

Enjoy. XO

I also want to mention that the packaging itself has become increasingly less “pretty.”
