Most of these photos are taken in the context of clubbing or concerts in the industrial vein. The scene's sense of fashion is different than many better-known norms of style, so people who aren't familiar with it might confuse it with crossdressing, which it isn't, or assume it's closely identified with homosexuality, which misses the mark.

Severe? At times. Androgynous? At times. Drawing equally from bondage/domination/sado-masochism, technophilia, the so-called 'gothic' movement, and a healthy dose of D.I.Y., industrial fashion is something I find entertaining. Some of it is flamboyant; call it 'flamingly straight'. You are thus warned.

There aren't many pictures I have of myself in a normal, everyday context, with the exception of the last one, which is of course heavily edited. Make of them what you will.
