I
I was trolling Flickr via compfight and came across this photostream by Lanuiop.
All I can gather from the 400 or so pics from the site is that this stunner's probably a freshman in college, from the Northwest (somewhere like Portland or Seattle) & his "muse" just happens to be his little sister.
...there's something very captivating and revealing about them.
They make me nostalgic for high school when I'd spend hours in the art or dance studios just messing around and being creative. The images illustrate perfectly - without the intention, it seems - that aspirational age when you want to be just a little bit older than your braces allow.
At the same time, his subjects seem perfectly self aware and comfortable in their own skin.
Not to get too VH1 Save the Music on it...but think every kid out there should have a camera or a camcorder...giving young people the tools to fully express their ideas, culture and perspective should be a people's priority.
