Photography is magic. Smoke and mirrors.
With a wave of the wand you can become whatever you want. You can become whatever I want.
Lover. Fighter. Virgin. Whore.
Photography is black magic. Voodoo and sacrifice.
It's early January and I find myself out in the desert. Out in Vegas. The aftermath of a weekend fueled by sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
I'm sitting on the couch watching the girls play dress up, then dress down. Playfulness becomes something more. I pick up my camera; there's a story to be told here.
A moment to be shared.
An act of magic performed before your very eyes.
