I've had a camera in front of my face since I was in kindergarten. (which isn't saying i'm any good, just saying that documenting has always been important to me) Taking and processing all of these takes a lot of time. If you want to use them for anything from the mundane to the professional, please email me for permission first, and if agreed, photo credit Aliza Shapiro or www.truthserum.org. I can provide high res images if needed. email photos @ truthserum.org (but close the gaps) Thanks to Cybercom for hosting all of them. It costs money to keep this archive site going.

I went MondoHomo Dirty South 2007 a queer cultural festival that ran June 27-July 1 during the US Social Forum in Atlanta which was SO amazing! In just a few months the organizers put together a fabulous, full, and diverse program that kept me busy for 5 days. When it was time to say my thank yous, I realized I'd talked to something like 14 people trying to get my trip together, my performances worked out, my housing etc...Everyone was so great. No attitude even in the height of stress, just gorgeous chill southern hospitality! I'm really proud of the folks who put it together, grateful to have been included, and inspired by all of the other performers. Plus, I'm excited to try to get some of them to Boston!!! You hear me! Come to Boston!
