I'm collecting photographs of transgendered people's bodies for the Youth Project Art Show at the Khyber that will be up during Pride week. I wish to display these photos to demonstrate how beautiful the body is, no matter where it "belongs." I want to show how a trans person's body is a work of art. I want to leave the discretion up to the individual. Show only what you feel comfortable showing, and highlight what parts of your body you are most happy with. You don't need to supply an explanation.

Clothed, partial nudes, nudes, or whatever else you think would be interesting that would demonstrate the concept will be accepted. I'm looking for all people of all stages of transition, even those that choose not to transition, or are unable to. If you identify as genderqueer or simply something else other than the stereotypical male or female, I'm also interested in your contributions. If you are in the transitioning process, or have already transitioned, feel free to contribute photos that have documented some of the stages you've had with hormones and/or surgery if you wish.

I would like submissions to be in by the 10th. I won't actually cut off any later submissions, it would just be easier for me to print them by then. If you're interested and would like to know more, please e-mail me at fictitious.boy@hotmail.com I'll provide you with a small contract outlining what the photos will be used for, where, when, for what audience, your consent, etc. You can be credited for all the photos you take, or remain anonymous. Whatever works best for you. Not all pictures I receive will necessarily be used. Send as many as you like. I'll make a selection of the ones I think work best to capture the concept as an overall collection. I would like the pictures to be artistic. I can provide samples of some pieces I will be using if you'd like to see what kind of quality I'm hoping to get. Don't let this pressure you though. A variety will be great.

Thanks in advance,
