In need of queer models.

I’d like to get some experience in the portrait area of photography. I’m a novice and looking for queer models in Northern California (Modesto/Stockton/Ceres/Manteca/Turlock/etc). I’ve nothing to offer in terms of money, and I won’t take any. Just looking for wonderful people to document and share. Grass is only appealing for so long.

Leave me a message or email me at jayclarency@gmail.com if interested. I will provide a website of my work and a background of sorts if necessary. Thank you!

Manteca - Dizzy Gillespie and His Orchestra

I have listened to this song a ton tonight, it’s my go to after insane days at work. It was one of my favorite songs to play when I still, ya know, practiced/performed and shit.

MANTECA!!

“That is the best manteca! The longer you get to save it the better it makes everything taste. You gotta keep it separate though, I have three or four different cans.”
