MAMMOTH SUNFLOWER this is a ‘twisted frog farm’ mammoth #sunflower he is at least 8’ tall (2.4 meters) - I need to haul out the ol’ step ladder-he’s gonna be the best #model for multiple #linocut prints in his different stages of beauty and i hope he’s full of sass, just love sassy models 😉🙃❤️😈😉🙃🙃

CHARLES he has that last look at times when you just know things are about to get 🔥🔥🔥🥵😈🥵😈 #gay #cousin #photoshoot 😉🙃

THE KENNSTER oh what a wicked wicked shoot this was — kenny wore that playful grin most of the shoot and i may have enjoyed it and added some cheeky quips — curves for days 😉🙃🥵❤️ i am a sucker for a good curve

WHAT i AM AFTER in the city with my sis, she’s behind me as i am snapping and i hear “you know drew, there is a thin pole in front of that guy with the beard you are shooting?” I continue till i am satisfied and turn and smile and show her a snap, she says “ahhhhhh”, she grins, she nods ❤️🙃🙃

TIM ARNOLD musician for indie rock band ‘good old war’ - band not around anymore, music is still available 🙏 going thru the archives and found the pics from a set I covered in denver the hair, the beard, the chin, the tatt 🥵🥵🥵 and the music, the accordion — sooooooo damn sekc 🥵🥵 ❤️❤️

LIFTED in sooooo many ways this room was my home in penmark village, vale of glamorgan, wales for a few weeks it was home

LNAL SHENANIGANS model for the artwork— pierre

The grounds of Llandyfeisant Church, Carmarthenshire, Wales just a wee walk from Dinefwr Castle. Was there from sunrise to sunset. Pretty much lost in my own thoughts all day and what a treasure of a day it was.

EURIG driving thru richmond and my phone is blowing up with a certain app from eurig- our chat is pretty intense & after seeing his pics, i may have directed our chat towards a shoot!! 😈 he was a total novice, it was spontaneous, and a very cheeky welsh lad! just my type of shoot. THE APPLE 🥵🤤

TALL THIMBLEWEED discovered this gem yesterday - i was out clearing a spot for my “stinging nettles” & “lady’s mantle” when i spied this lime greenish beauty -did some research & discovered the importance of it to the “tiger moth”(pollinator) & its alliance in supporting a biodiverse environment ❤️❤️

BLUEBERRIES these cultivated blueberry plants are over 40 years old - our 5 plants are still producing large quantities of scrumptious nutrient rich berries - twisted frog farm will start harvesting in july, i suspect - 👅👅 starting to turn now

EXPLORING BELFAST with my cousins trekkin’ around Belfast - they know i love to explore and i might poke my nose into places i shouldn’t - thus they are always with me when i make a trip over - my neck is always sore after, constantly yankin’ my collar and pullin’ me with a “jeeezuz drew!!” 🙃😈😉👅

LIAM CYBER this photo is all about his beautiful smile 😉🙃 i was being a wee bit cheeky here and was finally able to draw it out 🙃😉 that smile can change a moment

SIDEWAYS i am willing to approach and chat with random folks and i meet quite a few as i walk life on a sideways angle - this chap had me glued to his stories and his conspiracy theories - might have cost me only time, gladly given 🙃

ELIAS an accidental shoulder bump at a show (maybe accidental), an apology, a comment, a slice of chit chat with a scoop of my cheeky wit, and we are shooting a week later - approach - wink - and it will all unfold - wink

truth - we all do contain something worthy of an approach - drew frederic

CLANADONIA 1 of scotland’s finest drum & pipe bands-met these fine ass chaps in glasgow-& i might have merged my way into their busking 🙃 might have-we met up daily-even figured out our ancestral bloodline connections - (“i contain multitudes” - whitman) i’m a fine mix of curiosity and speak

FLICKER IN TIME we met on the steps of the capitol building in Denver. he saw me shootin him while he was very much into a game of hacky sack. he came over, i gave him my bag lunch, we laughed, he fed me stories, and he moved on - just a wee bit of a flicker in time that’s part of my life story

DANIEL RODRIGUEZ formerly of “elephant revival” & now on his own-this photo taken during their opening act for “railroad earth”-i was there to cover “re” in my first ever live music shoot-serendipitous meetings during the concert set me on an ever changing path-I speak to people i do not know 🙃😉👅

MATTHEUS Shooting along the Charles in Boston’s North End — ya know i just love that dirty water and luv givin’ the locals and tourists a visual treat. Matty is just as cheeky as i am so the treats were a tad risqué at times! 😉 Wasn’t expecting that, him being Brazilian en all. Cheers 🙃🙃🙃👅👅

Somewhere on a backroad near Zion Grove, TX. My uncle Red always took me out looping when i came home for a visit. As i am a chatter box, i mostly likely wasn’t aware of which dirt road we were on. i am not admitting to this, just saying 🙃🙃

EXPLORING GREEN RIVER WYOMING trekkin to the “saw tooth’s” when I came across this area. i love a good explore and this old campin area fit my imagination and ohhhh did my imagination run wild - let’s just say koontz and king stories were havin fun with my brain psychologically!! 😱 😳😳😳

MO mo was the barista at the local coffee shop in Amman close to where i was staying. he was quite intrigued with me & with my profession. he struck up a conversation daily and even sat down to chat while i enjoyed my espresso. he eagerly wanted me to snap some pics of him — a very handsome chap

THIRST HENRY — as i am sitting in henry’s flat, chatting with him about shooting, ideas, and such, my eyes are traveling around taking in his eclectic arrangement of possessions, i look up, see the grapes, the stairs, i look at him, he’s grinning and says “i got this Drew” gave me the bumps, wow 🙃

SEE BEYOND

OHHHHHHH THE APPLE the imagination begins to form a ___

FOLLOWING THE LINES sometimes i do not see the full intensity of an image i am about to capture until after and then when i sit back and take it all in, i become mesmerized

COUSIN CHARLES a treat for @gingerdale-91.bsky.social a huge fan of my gorgeous cousin. I prefer B/W — #BUTT when i am photographing a ginger, color color color!!! (maybe an occasional b/w) ❤️❤️❤️👅👅 #peaches 🍑 🍑 for days 👅👅🤤

Hanging out with LAITH at a hookah lounge in Jabal Amman. Much to take in with the art and that #neck ❤️😈❤️
