I LOVED WHEN YOU SAID, "They really did change my life. They as in Joy. They as in community. They as in my queer community. They as in my trans ancestors. They as in my pronouns. They change my life. All of them." This is a beautiful piece. I'm so happy to have read it and that you shared these photos and your experience.
I feel so honoured to have seen these images. Thank you for sharing them, Sam. Too often, it feels like the internet isn't worthy of this kind of heartfelt sharing, and I want to stand on my chair and cheer for you 💕
These photos are beyond stunning, special, honest, profound. And your words, reflections, and sharing alongside them feels like a gift to get to witness. Thank you for this generosity in sharing, especially now. xx
Another banger Sam. Loved this line "So many stories have been lost due to violence, forced silence, or fear." I'm glad the very real dangers of being visible didn't stop you from posting this beautiful piece.
gah i love this so much! i've also had a session with Joy, and it was revelatory! they are one of a kind, and so are you, and i love reading about your friendship <3
Thanks to you I just met Joy and had my photos taken by them. It was such a magical experience and we're now becoming friends! Hopefully we can all gather in LA together one day. Also: these photos are STUNNING!!! So honored to witness you in all of your trans nonbinary magic ✨
YES I HEARD YOU MET!!! That made me soooo happy!!! I literally cannot wait until the day I can come to LA and hang with you BOTH! I am trying to find a way to come during AWP, but we'll see if it works out! Either way, I will be coming soon! Much love to you, friend. ❤️
