story

So one of the reason I have been doing these story posts is because I have traditionally wanted my photography to speak for itself and I love people wondering what the fuck is going on when I present stuff without context... 🧵

Or I would put two unrelated images together that might give them new context.

Over the last year I have been sharing stories and photos over on my AlfaFrens and I have had such good feedback from it. I think part of it is just getting older and looking back on my life and realizing how many crazy stories I have and how maybe for the first time I should start think about doing a project that marries both words and pictures. If a picture is worth 1000 words, maybe I could give you 2000. https://www.alfafrens.com/channel/0xC85ABcEc6AE12Bb32CC9e1131682352fD9996E94

I have never considered myself a writer, but to some degree I am. I have run a blog consistently for nearly 25 years, it was mostly about my photography, I have written millions of words. For my journalism work I constantly have to write into paragraphs and captions, I have even been paid to write professionally for some notable outlets like Vice, Playboy, Boing Boing (IYKYK) and the Daily Beast. When I was working for Hustler I found out that for interviews the writer got paid 3x the photographer and the subject didn't get paid. So I started doing the interviews and then paying the subjects from my photo budget.

i am ready to buy whatever you create 👀😂
