😢 Poet #AndreaGibson, candid explorer of life, death and identity, dies at 49

"Andrea Gibson, a celebrated #poet and #Performanceartist who through their verse explored #GenderIdentity, politics and their 4-year battle with terminal ovarian cancer, died Monday at age 49.

"Gibson’s death was announced on social media by their wife, Megan Falley. Gibson and Falley are the main subjects of the documentary 'Come See Me in the Good Light,' winner of the Festival Favorite Award this year at the Sundance Film Festival and scheduled to air this fall on Apple TV+.

" 'Andrea Gibson died in their home (in Boulder, Colorado) surrounded by their wife, Meg, four ex-girlfriends, their mother and father, dozens of friends, and their three beloved dogs,' Monday’s announcement reads in part.

"The film — exploring the couple’s enduring love as Gibson battles cancer — is directed by Ryan White and includes an original song written by Gibson, Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile. During a screening at Sundance in January that left much of the audience in tears, Gibson said they didn’t expect to live long enough to see the documentary."

Stefan, one of my 2 local volunteer models for a past themed fake film style warriors photo shoot in East Sooke. I conceptualized it & worked with Kristin Grant to create the bodypaint designs that I imagined in my head. She did a great job & it was a fun collaboration. She's now based in #Kelowna - check out her website:

The leather mask used here was handmade by local #LeatherCrafter - Rad Juli. I met Juli in the local indie artists community. We've collaborated on other photoshoots with some local burlesque performers. Juli is also a rad drummer & active in our local music scene.

Copper Cowboy living statue at night in downtown Toronto. It was so dark that night I walked past him. My wife had to point him out to me. Good he wasn't  moving. On my #D500 crop I needed to go to iso 8000, 1/30th at f3.5.
