Embodiment: A Portrait of Queer Life in America

Embodiment

Molly Landreth takes pictures of queer people. Really awesome pictures, in fact. Her photo series, Embodiment, is one of the most compelling ongoing series of portraits around, and a fascinating survey of gender and sexuality’s infinite spectrum.

Now she’s teamed up with Shoot The Player‘s Amelia Tovey to bring the stories of these amazing images to life in a series of short documentaries that will be released for free online. It’s like if Ira Glass from This American Life met William Eggleston in a gay bar and totally made out.

However, Molly and Amelia need your help to finish the project! They’ve launched a Kickstarter page to raise the necessary funds, so please consider donating a few dollars. This project has the power to change the way people see each other and themselves. Be a part of it! Donate $20 or more and you get one of several personal mix tapes made by rad people like Jens Lekman, Amanda Palmer and Tender Forever.

    I’m glad this project is still rolling. Here’s to hoping it never ends…
