8 - 12 - 19  East Bronx, is where I photographed Lola, age 24 years and lives with a roommate.
Photographed in available light in a back room that was filled with paintings and art materials.  Has a shaved head, which looks charming and androgynous, at the same time.  Lovely, soft-spoken and
quiet and a pleasure to photograph.  Also, did some photographs up on the roof with a shear-colorful, robe-like clothing, which blowed in the wind.  Is very creative, arty and understood my mission of doing the photography series. 

8 - 5 - 19  Went to the Bronx to photograph Leilani today in her studio apartment.   Photographed her in available light, some b/w photos and some color.  She immediately started to take off her clothes and was a good indication that she's comfortable being nude and with her body, which is in good form and shape.  Easy to photograph and whenever I made a suggestion, she was fine with all my poses and the drping of some items that I brought with me.  Very nice gal and a delight to photograph.  Asked her thoughts on doing the photo shoot and she replied "freedom".
