MY WAR is every whisper— an echo— and every echo an empty room where words move like helium and the helium is tangible, brittle and empty as the sound of an axe striking dry wood and the wood splintering out in the night after the ice storm where [...]
Video Portrait of Liz Gray
A few months back, fellow photographer/nerd Shelby Marie Lloyd and our mutual friend Liz Gray decided to put together a quick video portrait to show off Liz’s stupidly cool haircut and general babeness. This is the result. Hope you like it.
