My good friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traftonphotography.com\/\">Kyle Trafton of Trafton Photography<\/a> (whom I&#8217;ve known since he was, like, five years old) did a photo shoot with me for a local magazine profile. He then took a few extras for me to use as publicity stuff for the upcoming books and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle&#8217;s a great photographer, and has shot portraits of a lot of funky indie bands. I&#8217;m probably the least funky of his subjects, and I can absolutely NOT smile on cue without looking like a) I just did something really awful and am trying to hide it; or b) there is squirrel running up my pants leg; or c) I am borderline insane and within seconds of taking off all my clothes and running outside to roll in the leaves.<\/p>\n<p>But Kyle ended up with some cool shots, which I appreciate. (In most of them I&#8217;m wearing a <a href=\"http:\/\/preemptivelove.org\/bssl\/\">Buy Shoes Save Lives<\/a> t-shirt, because it&#8217;s a cool shirt. I&#8217;m not sure if those shirts are still available anywhere &#8212; maybe <a href=\"http:\/\/preemptivelove.org\/misc\/bios\/jeremy-courtney\/\">Jeremy Courtney<\/a> can confirm. And if you must know, the jeans are from Target and the shoes are from Kohl&#8217;s.)<\/p>\n<p>And the background? Kyle found an old textbook somewhere, ripped the pages out, and attached each one to a big plywood backdrop. Awesome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455299691_ZqW5d-M.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;width: 300px;height: 450px\" src=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455299691_ZqW5d-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455300090_moRdH-S.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;width: 400px;height: 267px\" src=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455300090_moRdH-S.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455300950_mi7Mt-M.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;width: 300px;height: 450px\" src=\"https:\/\/boyett.smugmug.com\/photos\/455300950_mi7Mt-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking of uncomfortable-looking photography &#8212; which I was doing yesterday &#8212; I recently posed awkwardly for some publicity photos.
