Geez . . . Okay . . .

I've no idea why it matters, but you all are (annoyingly) cute to keep pestering asking *s

Yes, I'm single.

Yes, I'm dating.

No, I'm not in a committed relationship.

Yes, I'm open to that.

Yes, I'm still queer. (WTF? Honey, I've been out, since 19 and 80. C'mon.)

Yes, I'm considering relocation. Aren't I always? *s

Yes, I still have a child at home. She just turned 5.

No, my child isn't going anywhere without me. Sacred oath and all that.

Really, does it matter?

Who has time to wonder about these things?

Big love to the pests,

still updating . . .

You'd think WYSIWYG editors would be easy. But noooo . . .

Well, not for me, cuz I've been doing the hand-coding for so long, I always wanna get my hands dirty. The "easier" an app makes something, the more frustrated I become at how limiting it is, for me *s

Okay, so, I'm working on the catalog of still images. I just haven't quite figured out a design for all that. It's a huge undertaking.

Meanwhile, I'm hearing from the Claiming Masculinity participants that they want their pages restored! Ooookay. At the moment, I've put up redirect pages, for those of you who have direct links to particular spots that no longer exist (Linus. Darling. What were you thinking? 134 links to a single page??), so everything redirects to the new pages.

Will someone please poke Joe Mario to get his cute little ass back over here, for his second set? I can't do anything, until he models for the rest of the shoot. Mm hmm.

I'd also like to catch up with the rest of you participants, during my downtime, if you get a chance. So call or email me. Big Daddy Dre: this means you xo

Don't be alarmed. Repeat: do. not. be alarmed.

I'm moving my site.

:: gulp ::

Listen: I have way too much work to keep hosting everything at Dust Jacket. I never expected this little photography thing to expand . . .

There will be links, and I'll leave basic pages at Dust Jacket, during the transition.

Because my work is not for profit (yes, I still shoot primarily for free, and put all the paid work back into the other projects), I'll still be affiliated with Dust Jacket, so it's just moving next door *s

Art of Scars is a project I'm just loving—that might seem an odd statement, about a trauma survivor project, but hell, I'm a survivor, too. These are my people *s

I have openings in December (horrible month for trauma survivors, ack) so, if there are those who would like to work with me, either privately or for my project, please see my bookings page, for information on how to work with me for free, and for rates. We'll muddle through the glitz and madness together, while ensuring you're seen the way you wish to be, mm hmm.

No travel plans, at the moment. There's a lovely little femme I'm hoping to shoot in Ontario, at my next opportunity. When/if I head out that way, I'll post a notice here.

Thanks to everyone for sticking with me,

~Emmanuela
