Today we saw Lower Manhattan. <3
"I want to be close, but I also want to become. I want you to reflect all of the parts of myself I find it difficult to name, to exist for a moment solely in the space between us. I want to see myself reflected in you.
Over and over, I invite myself in. Let me look at you, I say, closely, quietly, for a long time. Let us fall into a rhythm. My photographing in lockstep with your breathing, my attention astute. I will hold your tenderness, honor your struggle, respect your strength.
All of this time, in bedsheets and bathtubs, in fields of violets and prairie grasses, in intimate gazes and gentle gestures, I have been looking, and creating space, for myself."
Look at me like you love me - Jess T. Dugan
