Excuse an interruption to the pornography discussions with a few administrative notes and requests:
1) For those who have wanted a feed of the journal, it lives here.
2) I put a note up about this at Flickr, but while I am here, I am DESPERATE for photo subjects in and around Seattle. Per usual, I primarily shoot women, and if nudes are the order of the day, I only am comfortable right now shooting women, female couples, or gay male couples. Also per usual, I’m very much interested in women on the margins in terms of who tends to often be least visible: women of color, or size, older women, disabled women, etc. Nudes or eroticism are never a requirement with me: it’s all about capturing my subject in what is most expressive and true for her, however she feels most at home in her skin. I prefer to shoot out of doors, or in a location the subject likes as opposed to in the studio (especially since my loighting setup blows right now), but shooting here (I’m in a very easily accessible area of Ballard) is also always an option. If you or someone you know thinks you might have interest, drop me an email.
3) For those of your with sites currently linking to journal.html can you update those links to journal/ for me? Thanks!
4) In finishing the resource list for the book, I’m coming up short in a few areas. For instance, my contraception references are really quite clinical. Does anyone have any books they’ve liked and used that are more down-to-earth per contraception resources? Also interested in suggestions per body image, self-esteem, male sexuality, safer sex, and sexual orientation from a braoder perspective than that just aimed at GLB’s. Cheers.
P.S. My big crush right now is the PATHWAY act. I’m really, really curious, if this passes, if it might finally involve a revisitation of the ERA. But I don’t want to get too optimistic: a bill finally recognizing the realities of feminist thought and observations when it comes to HIV is cool enough as it is.

This isn’t an option anytime soon, given that I live a bit far away, but I’d absolutely love to work with you for some photos. I’ll get back to you at the end of next year, when I am finally back in the States.

I saw your note on flickr and passed the word on to a female couple — hope they will be a good fit for what you’re looking for. And of course someday I will beg you to shoot me too, if I can use the images on my sites as well (I am happy to have not-porny stuff in there). I may also talk to my sister about it; we haven’t had our pictures made together since we were , like, 1 and 4.
