"For The Love of Pink" by KRF
It was in fashion magazines, or perhaps thrifting, that I truly found my love for pink. I had my first thrift haul at ½ Off Wednesday’s and
Atlanta is a melting pot of the suavest D-boys and the hottest Southern Belles anyone will meet in the south. It's hard to miss a muse in the ATL when they're on every corner.

So Javan wanted to have a random photo-shoot one fall evening that he got off of work early. He text me to lay out clothes for him just before he got home. We drove up the street to the airport near our house, and we were far off from any incoming planes. Zola's legs wrapped around my waist as I balanced on the same rocks Javan posed on. The pictures reflected the Scott Pilgrim line, "pirates are in this season."
"The men in my family have always been attracted to women with butt, and my close brother and I inherited that love of all women. My father describes women with weight no other way besides "healthy," and I think it's a mindset a lot of people should ascertain."

"When I see the beauty in people, flowers, and things, beauty then turns around and sees the beauty in me. I capture photos, but my camera encaptures me."

"I think my work expresses my soul in the sense that when I’m shooting, my soul will be the very thing that guides my eye. I usually have a bit of trouble explaining to people what made me think to take a photo or the methodology behind my photo making in general because oftentimes it just feels instinctual; a split-second decision to click the shutter in the midst of a fleeting moment that now feels like the most important moment in the world." - Jordan
