More than any other human being have I taken photos of this guy. Providence has us sharing space for upwards of eight years now – playing together in multiple bands, crafting web identities for fake clothing lines [college is something to miss], backyarding Ellsworth just beneath Stanley, and, sinking in the sound of Love is Hell from the Libertine’s high-backed-booths. Like any, our relationship is far from Perfect, but, even less perfect, I think, are we as individuals — so there is that.

Anyywhoo, yesterday, Austin took it upon himself to be my assistant [since he also knew the guy we were photographing], carrying a large volume of stuffs I didn’t end up using, and readying lens caps for the quick switch in a needing moment. We tested a bit of the Dallas light before the shoot, ’specially since I was a bit inspired by those near-Muttons.
