I loved doing these
🌙🖤🔮 I feel immortalized when I get photos with Richard. I become living art captured by a lense.
Every photographer has a signature. Maybe it’s a certain way they frame portraits, a color palette, a mood. If someone looked at your work, what do you think they’d say makes it yours?

I somehow got quoted in CNN about… Outback Steakhouse. 🥩

Yeah, really. Apparently, loving their Cajun seasoning since high school graduation made me an expert in steakhouse nostalgia. (Miss you, 90s Outback)

Mind = blown. Check out Nathaniel’s article & my lil’ cameo:

Outback is no longer America’s king of steaks | CNN Business
Americans don’t want Outback’s Aussie-themed steaks anymore. Instead, they’re craving Texas-style cuts from Texas Roadhouse and LongHorn’s tender filets.

A good model knows how to pose. A great model knows how to create a moment. What’s something you wish beginner models understood? (model is Tasia/bassplayerts)

Second time taking @americanairlines.bsky.social and second time spent an extra long time in the airport due to delays. It’s now been 14 hours from Akron to Las Vegas and I’m sitting in Phoenix, won’t be home for another 9 hours. :/ They say it’s the air traffic control’s fault so I’m out of luck

Tried a bagel from #mcdonalds when they first came out, delicious. Tried again, stale bagel. I imagine the stale bagel is the normal experience going forward. It’s why I hate fast food anymore.
