i really DID hate it so hard! they are soulless, those tux portraits in front of the even more soulless backdrop. these pictures reflect who he is, the way he looks at you, stands, moves around - it feels real. it feels like a real conversation.

i even hated those portrait pictures in 1989, when it was my turn to sit. the girls swathed those cameraman-supplied black, velvet drapes across their chests, precariously teetering off the shoulders. hideous. the tux was clearly the better option to me, but i was denied as it wasn’t gender appropriate. “what if i get mr sanderson to agree?” (mr sanderson was the principal who was later let go for redirecting monies to keep football players in district. snort.) “ok, but we need a note on file.” i forged one myself in a hidden hallway. marching back w/my self-made permission, i victoriously presented the photographer with my official clearance. and that is the story of my senior picture in a tux.

when jason sent me these images, my eyes welled. so happy. this is such an emotional time and such a big deal. i am so proud and full of love. and mr travis is a true talent. check out the rest of his persona series.

I recently received an email with the following subject line: “I hate my son’s senior photo so hard.” It was from Jaden’s mother, Alicia, who asked if I could take some fun portraits of her son. We decided to meet up, walk around, and just have a chill time. Jaden is rad and a total natural in front of the camera. We talked about music and photography, and I also shot a Persona portrait with him and his belongings. Luckily, Alicia didn’t hate my work so hard.

News you can use?

Beautiful Decay:

Lauren DiCioccio uses a simple needle and thread on cotton muslin to mummify and honor an endangered artifact– the printed newspaper. In each piece, as The New York Times’ text fades, its correlating cover portraits puncture the surface with pockets of strung together color, reminding us of a certain tactile human unraveling as we adaptively wave goodbye to the Industrial Age.

2013: Year of the Snake

welp, sad news: those beautiful black & gold johnny cash stamps aren’t available until june 3rd. so close! they were most perfect.

so, second choice: lunar new year 2013, the year of the snake. while i would prefer black over the blue background, the gold is shiny, matching the gold gel pen ink w/which i addressed the envelopes. AND FIRECRACKERS!

“Firecrackers are traditionally used to scare off evil spirits and welcome this time of renewed hope for the future.” sounds about right to me.

i did preorder those johnny cash stamps, though. how could i not?
