Pepper stands behind a lush scenery of flora and fauna. The photo is tinted in blues and violets because it is taken with infrared film. They wear a sheer shirt and tank top by Four Chambers. They have short platinum hair

Blue, the most human color

Oh these are absolutely self portraits

Thanks so much! I couldn't stop if i wanted to 😂🩵

Thank you, thank you. That means a lot

This makes me so happy for you and makes them all the more beautiful

A photo of a reflection of trees on dark murky water thane through tree branches so it's almost impossible to tel what is reflected and what is not.

A photo taken at night of thin skeletal shrubs against a white cinderblock wall, casting close confusing shadows. The photo is lit entirely with the red taillights from a passing car.

Yesterday's beautiful thing was photography. Creating & making things is my natural state. 2024 hollowed me out so much I barely made a single photo, wrote only 1 essay. I'm starting to make things again, to write again, to shoot again. Its a good sign, progress, like coming home

#YearOfKindness

I want to talk about this pair of images that I have showing at the The Fishbowl right now.

I made these images when I was experiencing intense isolation and extreme physical pain.

Shooting was difficult, but it helped me process what I was going through and gave me purpose for my pain.

Absolutely! This seems like a good fit for this moment in time then. I hope you get something out of it too! I know I am!

It's well worth it! I'm only maybe a quarter of the way through and it's just so powerful, especially as someone who experiences chronic illness and disability myself.

Nice! I have slowly been making my way through Johanna Hedva's How To Tell When We Will Die while working on things, but it keeps making me cry too much 🥲

Hell yeah! I havent tried Hoopla yet but I use Libby allllll the time

Thought it’d be fun to look at all of these at once. 16 years of self portraits (sorry 2012, I have almost zero photos left of your existence).

While there are a lot of styles/mediums present throughout the years, it’s fun to see what color palettes I revisit over time
#art #selfportrait

9 self portraits from the last 9 years of my photography work. This is really the basis of my practice, even if I don't get to do it as much as I'd like anymore.

Come chat, ama about my process and tell me about yours too please?

Eoin, a heavily tattooed white trans man, sits on his bed in boxers and socks. A text block over him reads: Venmo @eoin_mcgraw, cashapp $brokebackmountdoom, DM for Zelle

A screenshot from instagram reads: Call for mutual aid I'm getting surgery - a hysterectomy - in less than one week. Not only will this procedure be gender-affirming, it will be life-changing as someone disabled by endometriosis. I've dealt with debilitating chronic pain since I was 13 and to be honest, it's hard to imagine an existence where much of that is alleviated. I'm so grateful that the nearly 20 years of trying to address this is finally resulting in this surgery, something I've been advocating to recieve for many years. I'm asking for help covering the many costs that will result from unpaid time off work. This includes rent, utilities, car payment, health insurance, phone bill, and groceries for one month's missed income. My goal for these expenses is $3500. It is wildly impossible for anyone """of child bearing age""'" to get cleared for the procedure, which I was reminded of repeatedly by providers. Made even worse by institutionalized cisnormativity (recent research shows that trans men's pain is often unbelieved or not addressed by their medical providers). In this worsening hellscape for trans safety and reproductive justice, here's a reminder that people of all genders are affected by barriers to access in reproductive health. I often wonder what it would be like if the same $20 wasn't continually circulating between marginalized people supporting each other through their own mutual aid. Time and time again I'm shown the generosity and resilience of those that are the most burdened by our violent systems. It doesn't escape me that funds most needed are exchanged between the hands of community members in and out of their own crisis. So much love to you, and a tight embrace. GOAL: 3500 Venmo @eoin_mcgraw Cashapp $brokebackmountdoom DM for Zelle

My hysterectomy is less than one week away. Any help / shares for this upcoming unpaid time off / medical expenses is beyond appreciated ♥️
