Short Summary
My name is Shoog McDaniel and I am a fat, genderqueer artist and photographer living in Gainesville, Florida. It has long been my dream to produce a tangible book of my photography, because I feel that it is important to have visual representations of the beauty and strength that queers hold. This book brings together the natural flora and fauna of Florida and the magic of southern queers, and I am so excited to be able to finally share it!
This is not a fundraiser, it is a way for me to allow people to preorder the book so I can place a bulk order. You will receive the book in a few months (hopefully by new years but definitely by feb 2016 at the latest), once the campaign has ended and I receive the printed books.
Queer and gender non-conforming bodies are extremely under-represented in the media, and I hope this photo book can be a small way to change that. The book includes 45 photos of queer people in nature as well as quotes and thoughts from myself and participants about the importance of nature in our lives.
The price of the books was calculated by adding the literal cost of printing each book, plus the cost of shipping, plus a small bit more to pay myself for some of the hours spent working on this.
