Janelle Monae

I went... no experienced Janelle Monae live for the first time recently and it was amazing! I have never danced so much at a concert. Here are some really cool pics from the show.

Isolation

We all know that I am not a social bee. I am not a people person. I do not like crowds. We all also know that I am one lonely fellow. I do not have lot's of friends, even thought I know lots of people. I am really the only gay male that I know. I have not found another gay male to be friends with. I have had gay male friends but they are not sustainable.

I like to think of myself as a dude who so happens to be gay. This, I am finding, is a rarity in the gay Michigan world. I do not make friends easily, never have.

...I want to continue to write these words and spill my guts out but I cannot. My fingers will not press these keys to make the characters appear on the screen.  I think I need counseling. I think I'm going to get some counseling. I hope it helps.

Arianna: The Third

Towards the end of the shoot she mentioned that she wanted to try some pin up modeling.

We tried out some poses, I think that she is on to something.

We shall see what the future holds. We have a follow up shoot coming soon so there maybe some good things coming from that.

This last photo was the last shot of the night. It was actually the only shot in this setup. I love it. I have it as my Wallpaper on my laptop.

Arianna: The Second

We had a lot of fun with this impromptu shoot. We were able to keep the fun going trying out different angles, lighting, and poses.

Ari is still my favorite subject. I think it’s her overall presence on camera. It also is attributed to her extreme comfort with the camera and herself.

Arianna: The First

 

Everyone, welcome back Ari. It’s been a long time since our last photo shoot since I am now living about a hour away. She came to visit a few days ago and these are the results.

This is actually just the first of three posts from this session. She had a lot of good frames.

I probably should have introduced her in the last post but this is my friend Anisha. She is a awkward duckling, but an awesome person over all. She thinks that she is not photogenic but it's not really about that now is it.
