4 of the resident Mute Swans on the boating lake followed me around the edge of the lake with a trail of Mallard in their wake.
“It takes an Illage” is a photographic essay following the lives of 18 queer twenty-somethings and the adult summer camp they’ve created. Even in Portland, being queer can be an isolating experience. Constantly being defined by difference can threaten one’s sense of belonging.
So I was intrigued by this group who, through their own creativity have manifested a community of acceptance and appreciation for each and every singly oddity. Gender, rules, clothes, who needs ‘em?
Illage camp happens every August and it is a week-long extravaganza of glitter parades, capture the flag and even marrying the city of Portland. For the project, not only do I want to tell the story of camp, but I’m looking forward to delving deeper into the diverse lives of its counselors.
These images were made during Monday, the first day of camp. The fun and absurd costumes and games made the perfect visual for the delightful way that Illagers shatter expectations and invite those around them to do the same.
I am continually inspired by their openness to each other and to myself as a photographer. They enveloped me with their warmth immediately and without hesitation. Director Alex Simon put it best, “you can’t hide from the magic of camp.”

Again this uses very simple principles: simple typography, grids, lining things up, etc. Although presented here in horizontal format the design is actually a front and back of a square leaflet. I like the idea of continuity between front and back or outside and inside so that if you do, as in this case, put things side by side they still relate. To me that sense of cohesion is a personal design principle. I also like the sense of cohesion that can build up over years when you establish a long working relationship. Although there have been breaks I like to think Project Icebreaker is ongoing. The band have always made me feel like an unofficial member. They have always seen the visual as intrinsic to their sound. Ironically it's rare that a client sees image as such an integral aspect of their identity, I think it might be that we graduated around the same time and have grown up together as it were.
This poster was designed to an Imperial size 20x30 format. The background was printed 4 colour litho. The 'white' type is in fact silver and overprinted using silkscreen process. This production method allowed the poster to be used over and over but with new typographic layouts silkscreened over the basic litho. The image was created using the then latest digital photography techniques. The layout was based on a grid of squares based on the piano keyboard and which adhered to the overall proportion of the poster.
