a skinny older man body
When I saw the Century Project (a man took nude photos of women from ages 0-100), my first thought was to wonder whether anybody was making a similar collection of naked men. I think there is more of a lack of images of naked men overall. So I collected this one a few months ago, and that’s as far as I got.
“this should be a typeface, called Godbold”
‘John Gambell suggests the typefaces we as a society choose in which to set our messages are meant to stand in for the speaker of the words themselves’. I do think God would be represented as speaking in bold, generally. I’d be curious to see what would happen with something like Godhandscript Extra Light Distressed. Casual whispering God.
Armpit appreciation moment.
To go with the armpit-appreciation photo I posted before… I seem to be collecting these a little bit.
Greens, facial expression, halves

Scar, skin, textures
Scar pride
At first I was just looking for a few photos of people’s scars, having been reminded by Erin’s copy of the Learning to Love You More book. But, in typical internetto fashion, now I am intrigued by the patterns that show up when you look at a mass of public scar photos. There are some popular subjects— self-harm exhibitionism and processing, scars from pregnancy and cesarians (not so much finding episiotomy scar pics), voyeurism with optional processing (especially around major burn scars, and ritualized scarification by some African cultures), manifestos and statements about beauty and beautiful scars, and more general scar pride and storytelling. I find this last one the least complicated, the easiest to post photos without major accompanying comments. (In this one I’m only spotting basics, about how it’s easier to be proud of pretty much anything when you are cute and posing, but I still like how that calculator watch makes her look tough.)
Army strong
This is how I picture the army talking anyway. “Army strong! Army hungry! Join Army!”

“Finer” foods is a nice touch.
