Little Rock Photos (January 13 - 26, 2025)
I skipped posting photos last Tuesday.
January 20, 2025, was the first day in over 5 years that I have not taken a photograph.
I chose these 11 images of Little Rock because of their cold energy, the industrial compositions, the lack of humanity.
I have things I want to say… But I’m conflicted.
On one hand I don’t want to waste my oxygen and my words on people who hate, people who destroy, people who kill, and people who lack mercy and humility and compassion and empathy and basic kindness and decency.
On the other hand, it is my words and my oxygen, which gathers my queer family close.
Overtime, I’ll figure out what I want to say and where and to whom.
Until then, I’ll let my pictures do my speaking.

This is part of a year-long project for me - looking at Little Rock photographically in ways that it never has been.
I keep playing with the title, but really what we have here is Little Rock through the trans gaze.
Every day I post a picture on my Instagram page u/ArkansasToday
Weekly, I’ll share here my favorite pictures in a journal entry about the city. If you see me out in the wild come up and say hi - that’s the other reason for the picture, so that you’ll recognize me and approach me and we can talk about your life and your experience in Little Rock.
Sorry for the hashtag… I’m doing it solely for my ability to gather these posts and review the flow of the project from time to time
