One of the first blogs I started following was Any Fucking Day. I could spend all day praising its quality writing and photography. Both are deeply personal and deeply... deep. Both can be said for the two creators of it, Z and Mrs.
They are a married couple living in a small US city in the east. If you read it for awhile, you get to know the two creators as intensely private (for very legitimate reasons) observers and thinkers. They are a unique team. Z writes, publishes books, and photographs. Mrs models and provides a complex presence to the writing, images, and overall existence of the blog . Together, they make an interesting balance of passion, love, pain, happiness, frustration, and lust as they work together to create art.
Mrs has always been an intelligent, beautiful, erotic and strong-willed enigma for me as I've followed this excellent blog. While it is easy to recognize Z's influence on the blog through his writing and images he shares, it is a deeply rewarding endeavor to get to know and feel Mrs' aesthetic breath shared in the life of their art. Through her modeling, mood and visceral presence in every post, I feel their collaboration become a complex mosaic of two very strong minds.
Mrs' modeling is complex. The first thing I noticed was her erotic beauty of course, but after seeing her modeling in so many different environs, you can feel the silent solitude and private world these two artists share. You can also sense her emotions, feelings and beliefs, though appearing subtle, are strong and formidable. Through Z's writing and these images you get to appreciate their never-easy, but damn rewarding, relationship filled with every lustful, creative reward and challenge thrown at them.
I was both honored and excited when Z emailed me telling me Mrs wanted to answer my questionnaire. I feel it is like getting to touch a rich abstraction that I've started to know through digesting and reflecting on all of their photos and writing.
