Some are just miserable while others are Afflicted

Arnold was the best friend of my Arkansas backwood rifle toting brother, homophobe racist, misoginist brother, Brucie. I went visit my brother 1 year before he died of cancer. The instant I met Arnold I knew he was gay: 45. cute never married well endowed, and let's just say I have great gaydar as well. I shot Arnold here around the bend where my brother was hosting a good ole Boyz bbq with friends and his killer dobermans. I clown mask was a phase IU was going thru at the time. When I went back to Palm Springs I congratulated my brother on having a gay best friend to which he replied". I didn't 't know until you brought your faggot ass to arkansas to visit.

The more you interconnect with your subject the greater insight u gain which then gives u cues on what direction to go in the photosession. I do deep listening. Its a skill u learn over time. In acting its called subtext. Have u ever seen the woody allen film Annie Hall? There's an important scene in the film where Woody and Annie Hall are having a conversation on one level and at the bottom of the screen our subtitles that show with their really thinking. If you practice you can hear what people are really saying underneath their words and that will give you insight into where to go with your photograph I know it sounds complex but it's just a matter of as I always say "being thoughtful" What stories or subtext lies beneath these images?
