LAURA HONSE Photography

I am a late bloomer. First I stepped over the edge, and survived. I dedicate my work to all those who abused me, mobbed me, ridiculed me, hurt me, betrayed me and never believed in me. Thanks to you all, I have the energy and drive to express myself through my portraits of others.

You guys are all just a bunch of Mother Fuckers*

His wife sells old clothes which are piled up in mountains in the covered driveway. He is cool…

I found a small culloloid envelope with about half a dozen copies of this portrait inside on a window ledge as I was walking to the market. As I got home, there was a piece of newspaper on the balcony where the cats had eaten some chicken bones with the portrait of three famous women so I made a spontaneous collage.
