Kitty - Trainwreck

There is an agitated feeling in the air these days when it comes to this photography project. I haven't felt it touch me yet, but so many people I have come to know and care about in this "nude art photo" community (both photographers and model, but more so the models) are being silenced by platforms. I was shocked to read today that Dahlia Datura's O* F* was deleted for its content that included "public nudity"! That doesn't bode well for my own project, and secondly, that platform was kind of the last bastion for many of these models to properly have ownership of the monetization of their own bodies. This has happened on various platforms to so many of the amazing women I have worked with. There is this constant feeling of oppression and exploitation by the rich and powerful that is so off putting... the creative freedom of expression on the internet feels like its headed for disaster...
On top of that, these days I have been so swamped with my other art projects that I haven't had time to work on this or even make posts for you subscribers. Its disheartening, but i still have a lot of content I want to share with you. In particular i still have so much content from last year's summer road trip with Kitty Malone (I am not even sure how we shot this much, but I love so much of it, so I want to post it), I think for this month's "Monthly Kitty" posts I will jump around and not focus on one shoot - different tiers will be getting entirely different shoots.
I suppose this set was aptly named for my mood today, but actually on the day of the shoot it was all fun and games. Kitty and I were headed in a hurry back down to LA and about to pass into California when we saw a train stopped near the highway near Klamath Lake in Oregon. She LOVES getting onto heavy machinery and was bummed that we couldn't do a shoot on any big construction equipment in Portland as we'd hoped to, so pulled over and went to work on this train real quick. Kitty really seems to draw energy from this massive machines - I totally cannot relate to that feeling, but I had fun watching and documenting it anyway!
