9 - 8 - 22 Met Kyle, aka Ms. Vanity Vilayne in midtown to do an outdoor photo shoot of him in drag. He lives in Jersey City, a college grad and works in a high-end retail store on Madison Avenue. Started doing drag about a year ago, after meeting others in NYC who were doing and saw it as a creative outlet, along with lots of fun times. Cool and very nice, pleasant time doing the photos of him.

9 - 2 - 22 Returned to photograph, Atlas who is F2M trans to do the "after" pixs of top surgery. Has healed very well, even though had an infection a while back and is back to move on. Goes to graduate school for queer filmmaking.

9 - 1 - 22 Went to photograph Julien, who I have photographed before and wanted to reconnect since Julien told me is doing escort work. Is trans, F2M, had breasts removed, had a penis made, but still has a vagina. Previously, more like a male, with short hair, now has long hair, wears make-up and is a she/he. Julien puts a sleeve on penis for an erections, said can have sex both ways. Wants to do own thing as an escort and wants to make more money doing than from a regular job. Not sure how the medical profession did the penis and also left a vagina, instead of more counseling about having both. I do want Julien to be safe and will connect again for another photo shoot.

8 - 31 - 22 Snapped a few pixs of Trans, F2M, Lucy Sante in Bryant Park Libray event. Lucy was doing a reading from her new book. An accomplished writer, was once Luc Sante. Started transitioning a few years ago and is very happy. Now, writing a book about her transition.
