We spent a great deal of time observing the light, making notes on the phase of the moon, the tides, and the weather (looking for storms or avoiding them) in an effort to make the images come together.

This was the coldest of the photo shoots, between shots, I put on a long overcoat and foot and finger warmers on my toes and fingers. We waited for the full moon and I posed through the pain holding thoughts of a younger generation of queers this work might inspire.
