   Suburban Attic:

   “Porcelain”

   As a girl, Jeff's mother collected porcelain dolls. She told Lisa about this when she first started going over Jeff's house, when she was in the second grade. Lisa had a little doll made of fabric. The doll's clothes were shabby and her face was plain and ugly. She envied the thought of the porcelain dolls, ornate and almost lifelike, with sparkles in their eyes. She never saw any evidence of the collection until this day. Carefully, with her back bent and her head down, she followed Jeff's dirty sneakers over the rackety wooden beams until they reached a clear spot. There was a filthy window through which light shone sparsely. About half of the attic could be seen thanks to this one bit of light. Jeff's face, expectant and soft, was less than a foot from hers. Beyond his face was the infamous collection of porcelain dolls, covered over with dust. On their faces was abuse and shame. Lisa felt a twinge of fear in her stomach.
   “Look at this,” Jeff said quietly, as if his mother were already home. His eyes fell. In the spot where they stood lay a blanket and a candy wrapper. It became apparent that Jeff's mother used to come up here herself, to hide.
   “Looks like your mom found this spot before we did,” Lisa said. “She hasn't been up here in a while, though. Everything's so neglected.” By everything she meant the dolls. She felt an unexplainable amount of guilt whenever she looked at them, but she didn't know why.
   Jeff looked at her for a moment and said, “Well, we're here now. We'll fix it up.” This settled Lisa's nerves a bit. Again he was her friend. They were going on another adventure. They had discovered an abandoned house, full of curiously placed objects and toys. Using these things, they would discover who the previous inhabitants were and why they left. They would assume their names, and no one would ever find them. “Lisa,” Jeff said, as he placed his cold hands on her bare shoulders. “I want to see you.” Nervously, she began to unbutton her shirt. Her blood boiled and she felt hot, even though the attic was cold. She threw her tank top on the floor. His fingers began to unbutton her pants, and she could still see the dolls eyes, watching. Alarmed, they stared at her through their fog of dust. A moment later, just as Jeff was sliding down her jeans, a car pulled into the driveway. “Shit, Lisa! It's my mom!” She scrambled to get dressed, knowing that his mother already knew what was going on. Knowing that there was nowhere to hide.

   God your images are fantastic. I love them. From the bottle of Jager on the sink, ready to slip and chip the porcelain, to the girls' expression, the camera imagined spinning as if in the winding down of a long night or early morning, moments that might otherwise be forgotten, and then that wonderful view – groggy, almost… laden with the weight of the hours prior, fading just out of lucidity as if through time.

   I try to make photographs like that and just end up with forgettable frames. Yours are beautiful.

   I'd disagree with equating the “pursuit of the idea of contemporary beauty” with “glamorization of death.” To first address the issue of beauty in modern views: as an affluent, materialistic society, we are obsessed with first the perfect, second the exotic and third the unattainable (not particularly in that order). Given the lofty pedestal of beauty that all cultures value, or ought to value (yes, I know, personal bias), we are not exempt.

   Runway models from Paris and co. are not our average Jack and Jills; if it were the case that runway models were average, there would be no point to beauty. There are tiers into which everything falls for everything in life. Even if we preach and strive for equality from every rooftop, there still exists the distinction of class/quality/intelligence/beauty etcetera. Let's face it, a porcelain girl with 32/28/30 and 6'0″ will sell much, much better than the 34/34/35. That's just fact, at least in our particular contemporary society. In defense of the fashion industry, luxury brands are for luxurious people ie. the ones who have the time and energy and resources to look like the people we commoners aspire to look like.

   A certain part of beauty is no subjective. No one will say a Caravaggio is ugly. In the way that beauty is not 100% subjective, much is determined by culture. Our culture, obsessed with beauty, requires us to have a paragon of beauty, a level which few can achieve. If everyone was “beautiful,” then no one is. This reverts back to the hierarchy of society. Given all things are equal, the more attractive individual will surpass the plain one in value. That is the way society works and must work–without hierarchy there would be no human variety and no leaders/followers.
