DIES IOVIS XI JULIUS MMXIII
Every July 11, I make a book of photographs. This book is year number seven. I went to the woods and stared at a clock, waiting in the dark for midnight so I could begin. When the day began in the middle of night, I moved among the trees I found.
Later this day in the sunlight, I found a dark place and I stayed there waiting. I had made an open request to photograph all the women I knew as well as a request on the Internet to any that would agree. In this dark place, I photographed each woman that answered these calls the exact same way, twice.
When the outside became dark again, I found another area made of wood and began photographing the trees I found there as well. I did this until the clock again struck midnight.

What I Saw, This 4th Day, Of This 5th Month, That Year
When I turned 18, America forcibly taught me my life was less valuable than a woman’s. I don’t know where you’re from. I don’t know what you learned. I don’t know how you learned it. I know I didn’t invite you here. I know I didn’t ask you anything. I know I didn’t say anything to you. I don’t know what you want from me. I don’t know if you want my money. I don’t know if you want my attention. You just appeared here all on your own, a MAPS spelled backwards, deaf, mute and blind to any real me, seeing you. I waited for you to leave, as is my nature, but my source of energy died.
So how did you know how old I almost was? How do you know I shave my head? How did you know it’s hard to be me? How did you know I cannot catch on? How do you know I don’t know what I am doing? How did you know I am an asshole? How did you know I am terrified of you? Do you really think I am fine?
Do you really want to thank me?
