I was really excited to see that Feminist Playing Cards were included in Pitchfork’s 2013 Holiday Gift Guide! Below is the excerpt about the cards:

Also, I was super stoked that 99u (one of my favorite blogs) tweeted about the interview!
Feminist Playing Cards included in “Let’s Start a Pussy Riot” Book / NYC Book Launch
My Feminist Playing Card project is featured in a new book that just came out recently titled “Let’s Start a Pussy Riot” (Rough Trade Books). The book was created in collaboration with Pussy Riot and links together the events leading up to and after the group’s arrest and the themes that these courageous women fight for – feminism, LGBTQ rights, freedom of speech and the environment.
The initial book launch took place at Yoko Ono’s Meltdown Festival this year in London. The NYC launch will take place on Sunday, July 14th 2013 from 7-9pm at Bluestockings (172 Allen St, NYC). I was asked to be on a panel discussion about art as activism at the event with editor Jade French, Kembra Pfhaler, and Anne Sherwood Pundyk. There will also be a performance from Jeffrey Lewis and a poetry reading by Vivien Goldman.
RSVP & invite your friends on Facebook.
The book is SUPER thick. You can get an idea by the photo above which includes an iPhone next to it so you can see how much thicker the book is.
The page that the Feminist Playing Cards are featured on folds out into a spread.
Featured in Go Magazine’s “100 Women We Love”
I’m quite honored to be featured in Go Magazine’s “100 Women We Love” feature in their latest Pride Issue. I’m listed alongside some pretty badass babes like Scream Club, Hannah Hart, Liz Feldman, and a whole bunch of other amazing women! You can read the blurb about me here or pick up a copy near you!
Also, shout out to my good buddy Channing Duke who took the photo of me that’s featured in the article. Channing also started Pink Sheep Film Festival with me and continues to do a kickass job organizing it. The Pink Sheep Film Festival held its 3rd annual Pride event last Friday and I’m so proud of all the hard work Channing has done to pull it all together!
My concert photos featured on Consequence of Sound
Most recently, photos that I took were featured on Consequence of Sound’s review of Downtown Festival NYC. I got to shoot Kendrick Lamar, Black Hippy, Purity Ring, Kilo Kish, among others. Below is a video I shot of Kendrick Lamar performing “B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe”.

What I shoot with:
I’ve been using a Canon 7D with the kit lens for these photos but have a 50mm 1.4 lens on my wishlist that I’m (slowly) saving up to purchase. I did a bunch of research on lenses and the 50mm has a wider aperture which will help me capture a sharper image since I shoot a lot of fast-moving, low-lit shows. I’m excited to get my hands on one to see the difference! In the meantime, I’ve been getting myself really familiar with changing my settings super fast! If you support what I do and have the cash to invest in developing my photography skills, I would really appreciate it! It will also serve as a means for me to pursue more paid photography work 😉
Selected as semi-finalist for Scion/Motivate competition
Earlier this year I entered the Scion/Motivate competition, a program to help young entrepreneurs who are turning their passions into their professions. I applied on behalf of Homoground and was selected as a semi-finalist out of 1700 entries. As a semi-finalist, I was flown out Santa Monica last month where I attended 2 days of workshops on various topics of running a business. On the third day, 10 finalists were chosen and received $10,000 and a Scion car. I met some really amazing people and it was definitely an experience I won’t forget.
Published on HuffingtonPost, TimeOut NewYork + More
I recently had my third article published on the Huffington Post. The article is about North Carolina-based band Mount Moriah and includes photos I took at a recent concert in Brooklyn.
I was recently interviewed by the Vessel Collective about my projects, mostly Homoground & Feminist Playing Cards, as well as insight into my processes and inspiration.
Homoground had its first NYC party on Sunday, December 2nd and was featured on the Gay & Lesbian section of TimeOut NewYork (print version below).
