Self Timer with
Charlie !
Sometimes everything seems to happen perfectly at the right time. A super hot and smart queer photographer from New York, with her french crush, left alone in incredible french vintage-style room walled with mirrors, a self-timer camera, raw energy and chemistry, and love......
"They all expect us to do a tomboy sets, let's do high heels and fetish lingerie then", she told me. And I'm never hard to convince after a few kisses. We dressed us in lingerie, and we took turns shooting each other and intermittently left the self timer to continuously shoot batches of 30 pictures so we could play with each other
Enjoy the whole
set and give us some love !

Gender...

The first question we usually ask new parents is : Is it a boy or a girl ?.
There is a great answer to that one going around : We dont know ; it hasnt told us yet. Personally, I think no question containing either/or deserves a serious answer, and that includes the question of gender.
It doesnt really matter what a person decides to do, or how radically a person plays with gender. What matters, I think, is how aware a person is of the options. How sad for a person to be missing out on some expression of identity, just for not knowing there are options.
(Kate Bornstein - Gender Outlaw)
"ive thought about this more - something about the slogan was nestling me and i would just add this in response to the question why should you? see gender. its incredibly important to listen to how people self-identify, to see their gender. i know the message is to respect people regardless of their gender, but i could see how this might be misinterpreted as a kind of colour-blind but i dont see race! that almost always comes from privileged white folks. i dont think thats the intended message, but thought i would add my thoughts."

This is a gem :
Arty bollocks generator. I wish I ad that during my fine art studies, seriously.
"My work explores the relationship between gender politics and copycat violence.
With influences as diverse as Rousseau and early Jackson Pollock, new synergies are distilled from both orderly and random textures.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of meaning. What starts out as yearning soon becomes corroded into a carnival of futility, leaving only a sense of chaos and the possibility of a new order.
As intermittent forms become distorted through emergent and academic practice, the viewer is left with a new agenda of the inaccuracies of our future.

Let's leave with with something to really ponder about
