“As a process, it was almost naturally simple, accustoming myself to the idea of regarding thru a viewfinder every instant, even the non intimate as an erotic photograph”

KAMESAN NEW BOOK

Perceived …

in the body it carries a

condemnation – – –  

depraved, utterly tied …

… a daring feat – – –  

its attainment of furtive thoughts …

a verisimilitude tactile of … the shadiness of light

even the non–intimate emulates

sensual shades …

a record of its clandestine deeds …

a fossil of randy light

definines its photography
