In my opinion, you can’t really see anything until you have a photo of it. -ZolaTumblr (3.0; @bencarver)http://bencarveronline.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m41jplbg8P1qm81j5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I did a photoshoot for the <a href="http://www.boysbegood.com/" target="_blank">Boys Be Good</a> show in June. BBG is a collective of gay artists based in my city, Washington, DC. The theme of this show is growth/decay. I asked a couple of my friends to be models. They delivered in a big way, but of course that’s why I asked them. They are two of the most interesting people I know. </p> <p>The series shows the trinity of birth to death to resurrection of new life. It didn’t work out as I hoped because of this being the first time working with pottery clay (dries fast) and because I didn’t have an assistant to help me. Regardless the shots work and I’m loving them more as time passes. </p> <p>I hope to do many more themed shoots this year focused on the lives of gay men. I’ve put this project off for a while but I hope to get a dozen or so in the can over the next couple of years. </p>http://bencarveronline.com/post/23081257956http://bencarveronline.com/post/23081257956Mon, 14 May 2012 22:26:00 -0400bcarver<img
