First things first: I am VERY flattered that anyone thinks my writing is significant enough to stand on it's own. It's been a long, long, long time since I felt anything I wrote was of any consequence. I take this question as one of the best and most unique compliments I've ever received. Thank you very kindly, whoever you are.

To be honest, I originally DID choose writing as my art form -- photography came along and chose ME. I'd wanted to be some sort of writer my whole life: Short stories, song lyrics, music criticism, straight journalism -- I'd done it all at one point or another. I was actually enrolled as a journalism major in college when I took a basic photo course as a lark. I admit I had become a bit frustrated with trying to be a writer. I seemed to be failing to find either a voice of my own or an audience for what I wrote.

I had no aspirations to be a photographer when I took the course...In fact I’d never held a real camera in my hands before. I’m not going to pretend those first photographs were anything worth seeing, but that first trip to the darkroom changed everything. taking a blank sheet of paper, putting in a tray of developer and watching an image appear out of nowhere...an image i had put there...Was too much to resist. From that point on, writing was just something I did to get a grade; photography was what drove me, what excited me. I devoted myself to getting better and better at it, trying new techniques and coming up with ideas.
Then came the big reveal: I was walking to class and a girl stopped me. She asked my name and if I had taken a certain photo of her roommate. When I said “yes” she asked me if I would take some (mildly) erotic photographs of her...for money! Without going into my personal/romantic/sexual life up to then, I’ll just say this was the major turning point in my life. This is the person you have to thank (blame?) for the shameless kinky pornographer standing before you now. I wonder if she knows about it?
All this said, you will be happy to know I’ve been taking up writing a bit more recently. This past year I had a singer record five songs that I wrote words and music to. I’ve also been posting short accounts of my adventures in kink/sexuality and received some wonderful compliments on my writing. It seems my “voice” found me while I wasn’t looking. Whomever you are, I’m sure you know where to find me, so stay tuned...there will be more writing in the near future.
