Before I can get to the more recent photos of Brent and his boyfriend Don that I'm so proud of, I feel like I should share at the very least some of the photos I did with just Brent when we first met.

It was his idea to have lunch. We'd only been chatting on the internet for a mere seven years (I do not exaggerate, for once) so once it finally came to pass that we were in the same city at the same time, lunch, at the very least, seemed a foregone conclusion. I, however, do not usually settle for just that if I can get more, and I knew Brent had a good deal of
modeling experience so of course I made my pitch about somehow combining a photoshoot with our lunch.

We were both in transition at that moment. I'd just come back to San Francisco, after my life in Brooklyn had appeared to crumble beneath me, and thought my living situation there might be temporary. Brent had just moved to Palm Springs but didn't like it there and was already feeling out the possibility of a change. It was there, in a moment of groundlessness, that we intersected.

Brent is truly one of the sweetest people I've ever had to good fortune to meet. Also his vegetatrian lasgana is just sick, and the fact that he could get me to eat vegetarian anything is a testament to how much I like him. But that may all be a story for another day.

You definitely have a way with your models, to bring out their playfulness as well as their complexity.
