...to get past (at least for the moment) the emotional stuff than to upload a shit load of work?!
Three from my fledgling project with my Transgender friend (He has not gotten surgery yet to make his body match his Dude soul...the penis is a prosthetic):

After watching "Boys Don't Cry" at the beginning of this semester, I have a whole new appreciation for the struggle one who identifies as transgender has. I'm curious to see where this project leads...have there been other artists/photographers who have documented this process before? Not showing a portrait in this series yet knowing part of this person is intriguing.
If you have shot some portraits, are you using a similar technique as the bar photos (the bottom two are the strongest for me --it's the eyes)?
Thanks for showing us some more of your work! Always nice to see...
The medicinal shots intrigue me. I'm not sure how to properly respond but I'll try: The outward/objectified medicines are taken as if they could be entitled 'self portrait'? What is taken inward becomes an outward projection of inside-out.
I'm intrigued about the layout of your broadway project. Are you planning to couple space shots with faces? Nonetheless... #1, 4, and 5 get me. #2 seems a bit too tunneled. If this is supposed to mimik a possible path, I think the bottom is a bit too dark. I get stuck in the middle. But maybe this is exactly what you're going for. #4 "loving" the suggestiveness of the arrows. Could write about this one a lot.
#5. You have a knack for capturing balls (eye), in the most interesting way. I appreciate the non-confrontatinal gaze. It makes me more able to focus on different parts of the photo without feeling intrusive. I can focus on the lashes and how they are transformed into light white lines against a dark, silhouetted face. I enjoy the tight composition and that I can't get lot or distracted with background. Whereas the last, I'm a bit too overwhelmed with the background and not wanting to focus on person. I think #5 is also strong because it allows the face to get a bit lost in the dark, but no detail is lost. Not sure what to say about #6 other than, I don't want to mess with him.
