I basically just hope that my friends don't end up with complete losers. I set the bar low...not low enough, based on how it's worked out with some friends.

FORTUNATELY, that's not the case with Paige and Shea. I wasn't a huge fan of her previous partner, so I was fucking relieved Shea was not only Not a total drip, but was, in fact, a very cool dude.

He's an elevator repairman...in the elevator repairman union. Soon as he said that, I was done. Love every single part of that.

(I myself have been a union man since 2003, and am increasingly of the belief that only organized labor can save the U.S. ASK ME ANYTHING)

But beyond such a rad job, he treats my dear friend real good. Easy to see, anytime they're together. He's a smart man, a fun man, but most importantly, a kind man.

(and if it turns out I'm wrong, I will have no compunction about coming back and re-writing this whole thing)

Made it that much sweeter, getting to photograph them, knowing Paige had found a good one.

Should be easy to tell we were right about the end of the session, see that wee bit of not-quite-darkness behind Sophoulla? That’s the sun, baby! That’s what remains of the day! It’s all but gone!

I look at this photo, I think of the come down, of how I felt once I was back home, after I’d dropped Sophoulla off at the SuicideGirls house, after Danielle had taken off back to her place, after I’d put the memory card into the computer to upload, stacked the Polaroids to be scanned.

That’s when I let the sweet exhaustion in, that feeling I’ve left it all on the field. Squeezed every bit of creativity out of myself and my crew.

It’s sublime, I loved this session so much, knew I’d gotten it right, there were a few Polaroids that instantly became some of my all-time favorites.

And it’s right here in this photo, in the fact we didn’t want to leave, wanted to keep making more art, that it was only the departure of available light that had us packing up our bags.

Gonna chase that feeling the rest of my goddamn life.
