These 3 photos are of my dear friends Roscoe and Jordan, who were each other's best friends during their time at RISD. I would never see the two apart and these earlier photos taken with version 1 of my camera mark a particularly special time in our lives. Taken only two weeks before the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, I think fondly to a time ripe with energy, happiness and hope. The individual portraits are the only ones I have of them from this time, (the other one of each pair, as I often take two portraits at a time, was given to them as a token of my friendship). I have one other photograph of the two of them, tenderly touching heads. If this triptych sells, and there is additional interest in the series, I would be willing to sell the only other photo of the two of them (the one you saw hanging on my wall) to the right buyer. Jordan is a muse to many and is an amazing model in addition to finishing grad school at USC. www.instagram.com/jordanfromla .
