haha you look like someone I know

Looks like Iggy Pop, a bit, eh?

[Ash]

I was nicknamed Iggy (by my father) for a short period whilst I had shoulder length hair.

nah I meant like these chicks

(none of whom are anorexic, they just have awesome stomach muscles)

Here is a large format one just to be PC, haha

I think I messaged you about those shots before Frank


MJ is anorexic - her own body stops her from being bulimic - but yes her eating disorder and other issues/troubles are quite serious. I guess thats why I hope to photograph her more and boost her confidence.

On the flip side the shot I took is going to be a project. I want to understand 'Thinspiration' and the like. I've found she is disturbed by that shot. I guess that's the point.

Of course I personally am not anorexic, merely underweight with 'good stomach muscles'

Is the first girl there an aspiring actress named Sarah? She looks like someone who was in a recent film I shot in Rochester.

Frank,

What camera is that in the third photo? The one with the umbrella in the background...

[Frank Petronio]

Chris - No Sarah in there, that first girl is Shannon from more towards Buffalo....

Max - The camera is the current Linhof Tech V I love and use....

Ash - I was thinking the little series I'm doing would be somewhat disturbing and challenging. However they are hard shots to get, as they are shaking pretty hard when they suck it in....

Nice looking camera Frank. I guess swapping for a cracking good Pentax K1000 is out of the question...
