The Poet and his Beautiful German
I met Chance in Venice in 2011 when I went to a Parker Ainsworth show at the WitzEnd on Lincoln Blvd. He was quiet and yet I could tell that there was something deep in his soul that ached to get out. Very quickly I learned that when attending the People’s Mic for the Occupy Venice Movement. His poetry spoke of hope, questioned the world around us, and gave a look into his wild life. Soon after I had the pleasure of meeting his beautiful and vivacious wife, Marianna. I was in love with the delicate passion these two gave back to the world through their love. A year later, we took to the side roads in Venice Beach to photograph Chance’s headshot for a magazine feature and I begged them to allow me to capture on film the love I saw in front of me. Here is an image from their shoot. Keep checking back for more images because there is no doubt in my mind that I will keep sharing their love with the world.
