JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE ~~error~~

Thanks for the article, but if they had asked they would have found out that its just one photographer that shoots all of the Studio 211 Work. With lots of help from models, friends, family, New York City, and Craigslist. Thanks either way for the coverage.

What does the tattoo on your shoulder depict?

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 23:58:08 -0500

It’s a hamesh but is a thematic emblem in many cultures worldwide because people are the same everywhere

Hataiiia's stuff is always great. What's that dark object lying on the bed next to your left hip? It doesn't help or hurt the photo, but I can't identify it and so I'm bugged.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 23:57:38 -0500

A pistol.

Did I post this already? NOLAPhoto shot it at the smokestacks. It’s like three years old.

you're clueless if you dont think your photos are sexual. yes, not all of them are, but a big portion is. also, isn't it up to the viewer to decide whether an image is sexual or not? i don't think you get to decide here.

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:49:33 -0400

I think I get to decide whatever I like about a photograph of myself, really.As the subject of the photo, I think I am the world’s foremost expert on whether or not it is sexual or not. The photographer and I are the arbiters. Everyone knows you can’t control what others think of you or your art but you can always define yourself.

I think it’s time to disable the anonymous question function. I will tell you why.

I am working very diligently this summer to shift my focus in life onto more positivity, and these questions are interfering with that. The questions themselves don’t bother me, but the thought of sharing this green rock with all these other people who are asking those questions is messing up my focus.

I started the blog as a way to define my modeling work and self-curate some of it and to create a place to express that aspect of myself. At the same time, while I want to keep my “real life” separate from my modeling life, I wanted to be more honest in my model self and to bring more of myself into it. I wanted to inject more reality into my modeling work. Many people don’t seem to realize that in those photos, I am usually playing a role that someone else asked me to perform. Simultaneously, I want to be myself while in that role, sometimes. It’s very complex really.

Anyway, I enabled the anonymous questions because I follow another model who answers all kinds of crazy-ass invasive questions on a regular basis. I wanted to engage people and reassert the fact that I am a real person with all the accoutrements of a real person like personal boundaries and stuff, and I wanted to maybe explain to a few of them what it’s like to have a bisected, dual identity. However, most of the questions have been stupid (“Can I touch your boobs?”) or abusive (“You’re ugly and your personality is shitty too.”) The insults about my appearance make me laugh because of course, as a model, I’m already aware of my physical faults, and the comments about my personality confuse me since they ostensibly come from perfect strangers. I’m really surprised that so many people (or maybe the same single person with lots of time on his hands) react with such anger whenever I post anything that indicates I have a a soul and a self that doesn’t include being a blow-up doll. Apparently some people find this very upsetting. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be so committed to one’s idea of a stranger.

I got another email asking if “anyone knows the real [me]”— the insinuation seemed to be that I might not have a family or friends or an identity at all, but that I exist only in cyberspace, completely devoid of any of the trappings of a “real person.” So I’ll just cover that. Yes, I am a real person, with a life and friends and dreams and a bright future. No, this isn’t really me but parts of myself are expressed here.

In answer to the other questions, I would rather have two tiny T-rex arms than a hundred centipede legs, and I love the peacock mantis shrimp and would like to keep one in an aquarium, and my favorite 13th Floor Elevators album is “Easter Everywhere.” And yes, my back hurts, too— I painted a ceiling yesterday. The dark shape? It’s a pistol.

Hope that covers everything!

I cant fathom why you want to retire this year. The world if full of things to see and places to explore.

Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:27:18 -0400

Yes. I am ready to explore new things.
