It’s been a hell of a year and I’m happy to report that we finally made it back to the studio! It was wonderful to photograph the incredibly kind, funny, beautiful and talented, Asia Kaleem @garnetgirlproductions. Her stories of reinvention are breathtaking. As a soldier in the armed forces turned Broadway performer, turned hurricane survivor, Asia’s spirit and grit are truly inspiring! Be sure to catch the full interview @gloriousbroads later this month!

John Cameron Mitchell’s brilliant movie Shortbus

John Cameron Mitchell’s brilliant movie Shortbus came out when I first moved to New York in 2006. At the time, I was a recent art school grad, just moved to Harlem from nowhere Ohio and a super green graphic designer. I was excited, terrified, and hungry to sink my teeth into the NY art scene. And, like many of my kind, I felt completely alone.
Shortbus was my first exposure to the incredible work of Justin Bond, a cabaret singer in the film, blurring the lines of what I knew gender and sexuality to be. It was my first exposure to what real art could be.. pushing norms and demanding a new vocabulary for a generation to follow.
Years would go by.. jobs.. travel.. lovers.. successes.. failures.. and I finally had the honor of Art Directing a shoot featuring @mxviv in collaboration with @gloriousbroads They were everything I had hoped to meet and more.. an artist in the purest sense of the word.

@mxviv Thank you for letting us photograph you! .

I met Leila (learning a little #hiphopdance in the center) and her business partner Jen years ago through @gloriousbroads Each wrestled with the New York hustle for a while. Both are relentlessly creative. Friends for years, they now run @electricponystudios in South LA. Chris and I had a chance to visit them last weekend. It’s a truly amazing space and small business inspiration!
