Hi, While I'm traveling I'm daring myself to go further with how my feminine self is developing. I've been doing this since art school in California where I started taking photos of my body for installations.

Now I'm making photos that are inspired by my daily meditations on the feminine energy of the specific location I'm living in. I usually stay three or more months observing and absorbing the culture; as I interact in the markets, beaches, parks, and streets with the residents I write about how the people present themselves sexually.

For instance I spent ten months in Peru living near a range of mountains in Calca, near Cusco where the aboriginal peoples, the Q'uechua, were my neighbors. I lived in a house with a garden so I made some Peru-inspired Goddess photos. Next I traveled through Chile to Argentina where I lived in a very urban area of Buenos Aires; the photos for this part of the country were taken from my balcony. I lived in a very old Italian architecture inspired apartment with 20 foot ceilings and rough wooden floors. Each day there would be an opposition rally in the Congreso that sprawled below my balcony. I have to admit it was quite thrilling to be standing out on the middle of the conservative government area of Argentina with my very minimal outfit on as I composed photos. I learned a lot about how different cultures respond to a lack of appropriate attire! But I also got photos that tell a slice of a traveling woman's story as she experiments with her feminine presence in another environment muy different from her birthplace.

There are also pictures from Brazil and I'll keep adding as I keep moving through my own understanding of the feminine within.

I envision these photos on walls, on blankets covering people as they sleep, under heads on pillow cases, on totes as people shop, snug in someone's palm as they text on a phone wrapped in one of my photos, and beyond. Have fun with them, and I hope you enjoy the images' stories. I think they'll seep into the viewers imagination encouraging more travel, love of adventure, joy about the natural world, and appreciation for cultures different from our comfort zones.

Thanks for being here! Feel free to send feedback or let me know if you have suggestions. - Auguste
