Cassy and Sethesa are two lovely transsexual ladies I met on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. As well as having names that would be impossible for a man with a lisp to pronounce, I thought they looked amazing, so I asked if I could take their pictures.
When I went home that night, I emailed them the photographs and they soon invited me back to their apartment building just off Hollywood Boulevard to take some more.
Since then, I've taken hundreds of pictures of them, as well as pictures of their friends, family, and neighbors. Here are some of my favorites.
