Hollywood 06.02. I was/am conflicted about posting this set of images of the police and national guard presence during this protest. Part of me thought “well, this is documentation of the experience so I’ll put them out there and people will take from it why they will” but then also: as a photographer/artist I am definitely not a journalist, and while a certain level of objectivity is important in some ways in my work, images without context can be dangerous, damaging, and triggering, so I feel irresponsible in posting images of militarized police presence smiling, taking photos with protestors, and taking a knee without recognizing that 1) mere hours after photos like these are taken, people are being beaten, gassed, arrested, and fired upon by possibly these very subjects. 2) a person in uniform heavily armed with wartime combat gear on a city street in of itself is a sign of aggression and confrontation - intentional or not - especially to people of color. It sparks anxiety and fear, not feelings of safety. It says to its citizens that “we don’t trust you and if you so much as sneeze in a way that makes us uncomfortable, we have the power, capability, and legal immunity to ruin or take your life away from you entirely”. So yes, humanizing the experience on all sides can lead to empathy, but co-opting one image to leverage a point without recognizing the bigger picture and its power to trigger trauma in marginalized people is irresponsible, and I ask that no one do so with my images. The takeaway from this set is not “See, they’re nice! Not all of them are bad!” While that may be true, it also may not, and 1 snapshot in time does not tell the whole complicated story. #blacklivesmatter #blm #losangeles #la #protest #photography

Signs of the Time Pt. 2. Mixed Messages and Ironically Contextualized Marketing. Hollywood 06.02. NOTE: the apparent damage in the first image did not occur during the protest. I have no way of knowing from where and what context it originated, but it was there. #blacklivesmatter #blm #losangeles #la #protest

Back in January @mrjonathanpotter and I decided we were going to start a production company @the_fleeting_image focused on helping performance artists tell their story. In spite of everything that has happened, we are pushing forward and exploring new ways of navigating the world. We are contributing to the #Madloba conference put on by @synetictheater this week and here is a little preview. #art #photography #videography #dance #movement #theatre #theater #liveperformance #filmmakers
