About Fine Print

Dear Auntie Nina,

You’re my favorite aunt because you let me try your grape juice. But I don’t think that’s grape juice. Also, why do you have so many cats? And why is the smushed face one named Tracy Flick? And why did mom say you got thirsty after you saw Black Panther? She says you got way too hot when T’Challa lost his shirt. Anyway I made you some lemonade so you won’t be so thirsty all the time. Happy Mother’s Day!

Love,
Elyse

About Fine Print

Dear Mama Coco,

Thank you for being the best mom, even though you're always sick. Who is Taylor Swift and why does she make you sick? And why do "all the white people and their business" make you sick? And why did you get sick when Dad said Stormy Daniels seems nice? Dad says you just need to chill out but I think you might have a fever from being sick all the time so I got you some ice cream. I hope you feel better soon.

Love, Elyse

About Fine Print

Dear Grandma Vera,

I'm sorry I played in your bathroom and mixed up your pills. The little blue diamond ones are my favorite but Mom says they're for Grandpa. Is he sick too? And also why do all your chairs have plastic on them? And why do you have a bowl of candies we can't touch? And why does mom call you a shade bee? Do bees like shade? I got you an umbrella just in case. That way you can be shady all day long!

Love,
Elyse

About Fine Print

Dear Cousin Carolina,

Happy Mother’s Day. I can’t wait to hear about your trip to India to see your friend. He has such a funny name. Bhagwan. I like the videos of you dancing. Why don’t the girls have shirts on? And why do you only wear warm colors? Mom says it’s because you’re full of hot air and need to cool it. You can borrow my fan if you’re too hot. If you stand in front of it and sing, it sounds like a creepy old man telling you what to do. You should try it!

Love,
Elyse

About Details

For the last couple of years I have been on a journey trying to love myself for who I am which is not easy when you are a big black gay man that doesn’t fit into society in the way in which it was taught to you. This sent me on a journey to find myself in other people, so over the course of this past year I have cast a diverse group of people for their natural beauty and constructed unexpected floral compositions that could only occur with the human touch. All manipulation was done in camera so the final image would be as is, meaning #NOphotoshop. Each flower, feather, fruit, or vegetable has been strategically placed by hand to create each composition. Shades of Blackness Vol. 2 explores stripping away the filters to create images that highlight our natural beauty flaws and all.
