I have submitted some of my photos and an essay to jpgmag.com:

Please stop by and vote for my photos and story to be included in the next issue if you feel it is up to par. Or please feel free to make any suggestions on how to improve it since I wrote it at 12:30 AM in between migraines.

My apologies for not updating this site more regularly. I am still on the mend.

Blessed be,

These pictures were taken at Alternative Health and Wellness to highlight the fact that sometimes people see us through our words, sometimes they see us despite our words, but we are all human no matter our gender identity or presentation. At the end of the day, we all bleed red. My thanks to those who allowed me the use of their picture.

If you would like to be photographed for this project and will be in Phoenix, AZ on the first friday of February, stop by Alternatives Health and Wellness at 8 PM where I will be having tea and taking pictures until the first friday drum circle begins down the way.
