Tethered to the sun
Artists, creators and Photographers
What do you make?
We attempt a whole lotta random wannabe-amazing things: terrariums,mobiles, simple books, makeshift jewelry, shelving units. At times, we even make relatively decent paintings, drawings, poems and shortstories.
Photographs and video are what we do most often, however,and generally with the most, um, success. We also make people do things they've been wanting to do a long time and just wanted someone to ask from them. We also make a mess. We make a lot of mess.
Where else on the web can we find you?

Probably you can find us on a wide variety of random blogs and
websites also that we think are pretty interesting, including those
from fellow artists and, hopefully, porn collectors.
What did you dream about last night?
An abandoned brothel adorned with portraits of the girls and a secret
room full of forgotten stockpiles of film, obviously. Didnt you?
What inspires you?
people. light. everything. subversion. plants.
Where do you live and what do you like about it?
We live in Houston, Texas. Oh, it's green, warm and lots of space. It's cheap to live here and cheap to travel from here. People in cold climates like to come and visit us during the winter months for warmth and during the summer months for the wind and deep humidity of the beach.
It's very underrated here; it's like a big secret that you keep trying to tell people about but they don't listen. You have to work to find the good things in the city, but the good things are grand things. Our relatives are near here also (although not too close), which means they send excellent food home with you in colorful
tupperware and you get lots of sincere kisses on the cheek.
What is your biggest fear?
the deep end of the pool. never having another nightmare.
Name a few of your favorite movies \ books \ websites \ bands:
Oh god, too much pressure. I can't pick, I can't pick!
What are you really good at? What are you really bad at:
give an over-the-top blow job and have no gag reflex, but that's maybe not what you meant.
On that note, hopefully we're decent at communicating and creating beauty and complexity. Getting somewhere new.
We're bad at business-everything when related to photography and answering
e-mail. Also, completely awful at keeping good secrets from published sites or conversation.
What is your favorite thing to eat?
All things decadent. Bread with olive oil and spices. Blackened pepper tuna, fatty tuna, warm soup, beans and rice with cornbread.
One of us is a spicyfoods junkie, the other a raw fat junkie. We meet in an awesome middle. If it's fresh, we like it better. Cereal late at night. Anything cooked for us at someone else's home. My sister's avocado dip. My mom's lasagna. Ashley's grandmother's anything but especially potato salad and deviled eggs.
How would you like to be remembered?
It doesn't matter, but preferably very well. We'll pass on cute, however, or as a new wave of feminists.
What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?
How about embarrassing thing we did/do? Talking back to bored commenters or any internet dramas at all. Also, Also, we shoot in a this amazing motel with a plastic chandelier in the lobby.
On occasion, we shoot someone there we don't know quite well enough to bring there (but of course bring them anyway) and find all kinds of strange things under the furniture that we necessarily move for some reason or another.
These days we tend to move the furniture when they're in the bathroom.
Anything else you would like to say:
Besides thank you so incredibly much for desiring us to be included in your project? Not really, besides thank you so incredibly much for desiring us to be included in your project. Did we say thank you?
Sincerely, we're really flattered and appreciative.
