SoooOo, I'm back. Kind of.

Yes. I don't know if anyone from back in the day is still watching me, but I am back. Kind of.

I say 'kind of,' because I tend to be ridiculously busy these days, so any grand announcements about a proper return seem...a bit premature. Chances are (pretty high!) that my submissions will be spotty at best, my comments will be few and far between and my response to things will be random and usually waaaaaay after the fact. Not out of a lack of lurve, I swear! But, as I said...busy.

'Busy with what?' I shall pretend you asked. WELL!

When I last updated, I was doing Honours. Wow. It HAS been a long time!
Anyway, Honours went well and I'm now in the second year of my Doctorate of Philosophy (otherwise known as a PhD). And, it's kind of funny, because my time on this site probably had a lot to do with the area that I'm researching. Want to take a guess?

If you guessed male nude photography, then you're RIGHT! Well done, you.
More specifically, I'm looking at the ways in which concepts of male embodiment, masculinity and male sexuality are explored, reinforced, negotiated and contested in male nude photography. Exciting, right? I know, I know. I rock.

I'm also teaching at my uni this semester, so between that and my PhD (which has about a billion components), things are hectic. BUT! I bought me a subscription and I am going to try and do my thang when I get the opportunity.

Speaking of which, this seems like a good moment to segway into what I always enjoyed doing in the past: that is, FEATURES! Woo. Enjoy the pretty.
