"Laura June Kirsch was attending a local church event in which
her cousin is annually crucified as Jesus. I met her at a Carvel in
Nassau County, which is an area one must pass through to get
from Suffolk County to Manhattan. Perhaps you’ve noticed. We
had a fight over the last Cookie Puss ice cream cake. Don’t fight
Laura June over cake, is what I learned. Not on Crucifixion Day,
with her whole family and Jesus waiting in the car, with his cross
sticking out the hatchback."

Victoria is helping her new friend
Jeremy celebrate his 20th birthday
via whiskey in a water bottle and
free diesel garb. Shortly after he
called us both old and said
something along the lines of “1990
motherfuckers!”

| Humor, above all, is my main inspiration as a photographer. I have always been attracted to things that make me laugh. When I see a funny situation unfolding my first instinct is to get my camera. As an artist I strive to capture these moments and share them with the world. |
