Paige Bradley created one of the most striking sculptures I’ve seen in recent times. Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light. “From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession,” says Bradley. “I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we could expand beyond our bodies?”

#blackandwhitechallenge number 3… one time Will Adler, Brandon Smith and I went up to the mountains behind Santa Barbara with a bunch of costumes and some friends and shot a bizarre photo series called “Fantasy Land”. it was a weird project we all contributed to with our various mediums of photography - still one of my fondest memories and something we need to revisit ;)
