10 - 23 - 19  Photographed Nat this afternoon, outdoors in midtown on the eastside.  Nat is 31 years of age and lives in Oakland, CA and is visiting a friend in Brooklyn.  Nat says, "I still struggle how to define myself.  I've looked many different ways over the years and now feel comfortable in my own skin.  I know I have never clearly fit into any rigid definition of binary gender.  Discovering the term non-binary finally made sense to me and took a lot of the anxiety away to try and be more masculine/feminine to fit social acceptance."

10 - 12 - 19  Went to Brooklyn to photograph Addrian, who is 34 years of age.  Is originally from Pennsylvania and moved here a few weeks ago to connect with others with similar interests. 
Addrian says, "I'm happy being trans and bi-gender which has become more commonly acceptable in our society".  I asked the definition of bi-gender and Addrian said, "it's being both simultaneously or switching every so often, whenever.".  Likes to identify as a feminine male or male-leaning.

10 - 5 - 19  Took the M train from midtown to Brooklyn to photograph Jo, age 26.   She says, "I identify as gender queer and use they/them pronouns.  I'm asexual, not sexually attracted to anyone.
Ultimately, I want to be myself".  Photographed her in b/w and color, outside the apartment building where she is staying and then we went up to her roof.  Interesting graffiti were on the walls and did the pixs there.  Beautiful day, sunny, mild and found it interesting to hear her perceptive on being
non-binary.
