production cessation for mourning period.

pj whitt, beloved business partner for my photography works, and sterling project director for claiming masculinity, has tonight lost one of her three brothers in a fatal accident.

the matriarch of the whitt family, grand marie, celebrated another birthday into her seventies, in july. marie has always been exceedingly proud to boast of her ten children ("and two gay daughters," she loves to add); her many grandchildren; her great-grandchildren.

tonight marks the first loss of any of that very close-knit clan.

for nearly all her nearly six years, my youngest child has been co-parented by pj.

they were together, when they received word. tonight, la nena has elected to remain with pj and the grieving family.

i will not be processing the photos from recent sessions, or participating in further sessions, until further notice.

thank you for your understanding.
