David Hamilton is, hands down, my favorite photographer. I first came across his art at a thrift store in Portland, OR, while on tour with my band. I found an exquisite photograph (first one listed below) sitting in a crappy frame. I loved the photo so much that I took it out of the picture frame and shoved it in my purse. I later returned home and immediately pinned it on my wall. For months I had no idea the goldmine I had stumbled upon, until I took the photo off my wall to show a friend. After telling the story, my friend and I slowly deciphered the signature in the picture to read out DAVID HAMILTON. In total excitement of this accomplishment, I googled the name, and my jaw dropped. More and more photos of the exact same hazy, lovable pictures were right at my fingertips, and I've never been the same since.

made between eroticism
and pornography; the media
have blurred the disparity to
an unforgivable degree..."
