Seeing not one or two, but 6 images I took for

in Yonge and Dundas square was truly the best way to end off my year. I'm so grateful. 🥺

This is funny but I always come back to this point: if everyone knew, why did I not feel comfortable to be myself around you? If everyone knew, why were y'all still so homophobic?
“coming out” and everybody already knowing is so humiliating like omg ??

Not gonna lie, seeing my name next to the word asexual brought up a looot of feelings and internalized aphobia I still gotta work through. But I’m still happy I can represent for ppl who are grey-ace and queer, on the asexual spectrum.

As a queer person in the city, outside of balls and parties/raves, where do you go to socialize (platonically) with other queer people? Specifically women? It never used to be this bleak when I was a baby gay

Like I know this is jokes but like.. It's not about you (ppl on the outside) knowing? Figuring out your sexuality for yourself isn't always easy especially when it's constantly being scrutinized.

Expecting your romantic partner(s) to give you everything that a community would normally provide is so unrealistic and debilitating. I wish ppl would acknowledge that. But unfortunately with how hard life is for a lot of people now….

This is not only an act of documentation and archival process, but also a testament to our existence, an act of resistance.Proof of not just surviving, but living.Often we're pushed aside or told to hide ourselves,this series pushes back against that historical and
present notion

Untrue. The beautiful men are queer or bi and you aren’t checking for them (and they probably aren’t checking for y’all) 🫨

I think the thing that really motivates me to photograph is being able to bear witness to growth and love
Being able to capture a growing family from the very beginning has me feeling very grateful. Seeing two amazing queer women raise children and documenting it, means so much

At first I was like idk. But wait!
Career wise:
- Got flown out to Apple Park by Apple
- Shot two Canadian PSA campaigns
- Shot a national campaign for Peets Coffee that was on billboards across the USA
- Landed a new full time job in my field just before the year ended
EVERYONE INCLUDED; Please brag to me about a thing you did in 2023 that you’re proud of?
