We never made it to Little Rock. But we did buy commemorative t-shirts. (Still not sure what was wrong with the car... was it that bird i hit stuck up in the engine? or just it's squeaky ghost?)
Dallas has treated us well. We had two fabulous shoots yesterday, the first was with One Church's Pastor Charles; a gay affirmative Pentecostal Preacher who opened up about his journey from conservative Connecticut, to free love New York in the 80s/90s and finally to Texas, where he has broadcasts his sermons across the internet every Sunday night to members of the LGBT community throughout America.
Our second interview was with a darling young Mexican American man; Jesus. Like a lot of the young people we've talked to, Jesus was self aware, articulate, and we left the shoot rethinking everything we thought we new about queer life in America.
More questions than answers at this stage..
Time to head to Austin. Time to float the river.
(This shot taken at the Mississippi information center... yay!)
omg. please get me a shirt like that!!
