Both subjects in these photos are my dear friend Jon. I specifically wanted him to model for these photos for various reasons.
Its hard for me to outwardly speak about the meanings in each of my photographs because I don't want to force and idea into my audiences mind, I would rather hope that people will think and open their minds to what could be. But I have decided to write about what these photos mean for me. Its the "want" of the american dream that is so clouded that we think we're above each other in ways that may be subconscious or even conscious that I feel is so deranged . I wanted to tell that story in these two photos. The superiority of the man on the left holds over the man on the right is what I feel is very wrong with the human kind. Its also the battle with in where society has brain washed us into think that money and power is a beautiful thing. The battle we face everyday trying to make the right choice for our souls instead of doing what we are told.
You may not agree with what I believe and thats okay. Theses photos don't need to hold the same meaning they hold for me as they do for you.
