Matthew Kern emailed me last week  to see if I would be interested in photographing him for a book project he is working on. I did not know him, but I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I was familiar with his work and considered it some of the best Polaroid art I’ve ever encountered.

I met with Mink Stole a couple of weeks ago for an interview for OUTloud and took a couple of Polaroids.  And wouldn’t you know that I’m shooting one of John Waters‘ most famous stars and I fuck up the photos…

I’m so predictable. Of course I spent Halloween night at the Club Charles. I don’t have to drive around and I know I’ll always see lots of people. And who did I run into on Halloween you ask?

Early in the evening a friend said, “There’s a really scary clown here.” And I mentally brushed it [...]
