Nothing like a little warm weather to awaken me from my depressive doldrums, you know? The slightest hint of Vitamin D and I realize I have all of these unfulfilled pursuits in front of me. Imagine finding a creative muse and partner with which to share projects and passions! But perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself...

Hello, my name's Ben. I've been on reddit forever under a plethora of profiles. I'm a lover of all things art: a big movie buff, indie music fan, and dabbler in visual media. On some of my aforementioned profiles, I've shared (very amateur) photography of a variety of types and I'm looking to get back into that and to find others who may be doing the same!

My background is in design so a lot of my previous work has been in architectural and urban photography. I've helped some friends out with wedding shoots in the past and I'd like to explore more in the world of portrait/body photography. Again, I previously did a lot of self-shot stuff but, let's be honest, such things would be much more fun with a partner.

So maybe you're also an aspiring or experienced photographer, model, or other creatively-inclined type. Maybe you're also looking for an outlet, for someone to bounce ideas off of. Maybe you're looking for a genuine, intimate connection. Maybe we're looking for each other...

Other stuff: I'm looking for someone local to the metro Detroit area, ideally. I'm a straight white man but I try not to be a monster. I'm a fan of clear communication and emotional honesty. I'm an introvert but I'm not shy. I've got the Big D (depression). Fitness is very important to me when I'm not binging pizza and sushi and booze. I love to read and, to bring things back around, I love to be outside when the weather isn't terrible.

If any of this sounds interesting, please shoot me a PM with a bit about yourself!

xx

Ben
