2/2 In a cowboy hat, otherwise stripped to the waist with a bright dragon shoulder tattoo. His physique was stunning. Everyone in the crowd was looking at him because he was so beautiful and handsome. He radiated joy. A few months later, a friend brought him over for a visit. I nearly plotzed! 😉🥵😈

I have always photographed men of color cuz I photograph the men in my life and men of color have always been a part of my life. My first lover Frank was 1/2 Filipino, 1/4 Aleut Indian, 1/4 Swedish. He was 5’3, wore little round wire rim glasses and when his hair had a #1 crop he looked japanese. 😉

2/2 It made a potent statement about our visibility that in 2019 it was dangerous to be visible. And even more so in 2025. And I am sure that many on the fringes will now withdraw and play it safe. It’s a tough world out there. If you can’t be visible, please find ways to support those that are. 🫂

What you are doing in publicly sharing these portraits of you is giving other big men of color into leather permission to also be seen and appreciated just for who they are. 📷❤️

Thank you @evilcoyote.bsky.social. That means a lot to me. Especially with this particular work.

These images are open to interpretation. That openness allows each viewer to project their own feelings onto the image convinced that their interpretation is the right one. But there is no right answer. I see it as a call to action. Never again! Resist! Stop the hatred! Stop the ongoing trauma! ✊✊🏿

The poem is beautiful. Sincere condolences on the loss of someone so special in your life. 🫂❤️

The work itself is defining this series. It is being created by the queer men of color who have agreed to be photographed and how they respond to the idea of an authentic portrait. They are instrumental in breathing life into and creating how they want to be represented. Who is up to the challenge?

Everyone laughs when they see this image. Although most can’t explain why they laughed. 1. There is the carrot and the stick. 2. Sometimes a carrot is not just a carrot. hint - What are white men obsessed with? 3. The black man is smiling right at the viewer. Sharing the joke with us. 2/3

I agree but it’s also important to let Target know WHY you cancelled your account. :)

Thanks, Robert @missionmansd.bsky.social . I really appreciate that. Instead of just posting hot images, I hope to provide some context so people understand what’s behind the hot image and where it came from. 🫂📷❤️

…. stacked up against the wall. I felt his electricity. We had a complicated friendship, sex, art, buddies, perverts. 😉😈 But he also had hiv and died before the lifesaving retrovirals were available. The loss of an important voice of a black gay leather poet/playwright and a very special man. 2/2

These provocative portraits are queer men of color claiming their identity, their power to see themselves beyond our culture’s bigotry and racial hatred. The book is 12x12” to make it easy to look into the faces of these queer men of color. Color them outside the boxes demanded by our culture. 3/3
comment in response to post
Our culture allows us to look into the faces of people of color when they fit into certain boxes - sports star, music star, politician for example and on the other side drug addict or criminal. These portraits come from conversations about race, queer sexuality and racism in our community. 2/3

What I love is the enigmatic quality. Each viewer projects himself onto the image and creates his own story. A kind of photographic Rorschach inkblot. And the size makes them special considering the current art market seems obsessed with $ per inch as the most important quality of a piece of art.
