Content with a bite for the bold and thoughtful who live more than an unexamined life. Content with a bite for the bold and thoughtful. Gender chimera.

My work's a road map for capturing poignant glimpses into human experience. I value candor over inauthentic performance, and focus most on unapologetic representation. Community based photography through a q***r lens. A photo is more than clicking a button. The person behind the lens matters.

The face of aged anxiety. The intersection of best practices and creative box breaking. Raw and tender h

uman connection is my bread and butter. As a trans content creator (they/them), I've spent my career photographing diverse populations. Punks, artists, and crafters give my life meaning. My work is crisp and community-based with growing nods to street photography. I value candor over inauthentic performance, and focus on bold representation. In branding, I know how to make the new feel familiar while interjecting just enough rough edge moments to make the most important features memorable.

I started working professionally as a photographer in 2015 and hit the ground running. In tandem with finishing my Masters in Digital Marketing and Analytics, I work full time as a web strategist and have a healthy serving of digital branding freelance on the side. LIFE FAVORS THE BOLD. CONTENT AS REAL AND UNAPOLOGETIC AS YOU. Www.sageorville.com

I don't know about your English and gym teachers, but Frog and Toad are friends... or are they? Happy Halloween!

Katie and Ali invited me to photograph their "Document Dinner" last December, and this weekend we get to celebrate their wedding! The care they put into community is powerful. Here's part of my toast:

My last relationship was with someone who lived in the 1%. She prioritized her allegiance to lineage over the challenges that come with living your values in spaces that don't share them. I think a lot about the role of comfort in our lives, and when comfort and wellbeing diverge.

Too often, comfort is a slow death. It upholds status quo and makes us turn away from the hard conversations that deepen relationships. The spaces between divergent needs hold so much creativity and potential. While *feeling* love is vital, it alone is not enough. Our love must be an action rooted in a steadfast commitment to each other.

With powerful leftist phrases like "We keep us safe," I often ask who "we" is. I value community that isn't maintained by the carceral nature of curating only like-minded people through moral purity tests. I value knowing my neighbors, even when those relationships are filled with (bridgeable) difference, and where we hold each other accountable to our shared liberation.

Unlike folks here, I don't know Ali and Katie well. But choices like like inviting their photographer to speak helps center the humanity of everyone in the room. In the brief time that we've known each other, they've extended incredibly thoughtful recommendations for all things Rhode Island; they've invested labor into a relationship that traditionally doesn't warrant that sort of connection. I think that any community lucky enough to have Katie and Ali is a stronger, more emotionally vulnerable, less extractive, and more kind one. And maybe just a little goofier.

To toast, I hope we all have the discernment to the know whether something is a threat to our wellbeing vs our comfort - that we leave or change what jeopardizes ourselves, our people, and anyone's right to self determination, and that we prioritize our individual and collective wellbeing even at the cost of inconvenience. We owe each other so much, and I hope all of our relationships leave us each more free.

Slainte.

Joey and Nicole were an absolute delight to work with, especially as we pivoted from a mosquito overrun mountain to a far less buggy

I went to the today with Neighbor to Neighbor () to lobby in support of several bills, including the Presumption of Innocence Bill, an Office of Tennant Protections, and the . We spoke with state reps and their aids, delivered fact sheets, and shared testimony of what this bill would mean for our members.

The Clean Slate Bill would automate the sealing of criminal offender record information (CORIs) for people after the statutory waiting period (3 years for misdemeanors and 7 years for felonies) for eligible crimes. The current process is cumbersome, manual, and plagued by backlogs and delays.

This bill has been organized by Clean Slate Massachusetts, a coalition of community and statewide organizations, business leaders, impacted individuals and families, faith-based groups, and other advocates and allies.

Many of our members spoke to law makers today in support, including Springfield Chapter Organizer Katie Talbot who's testimony is in the slides. Another spoke of when she was arrested and imprisoned for attacking her abusive partner in self defense, resulting in jail time. Now, 34 years later, she was legally restricted from helping her daughter care for her foster children. The rippling impacts of this sentence seem to have no end. Passing these bills would remove unnecessary barriers for over 670,000 people.
