Last Monday, i went on a shoot that had us following a carrier of HIV since 1984. Our interest in him was because of this and more primarily or secondarily, his creation of the http://www.fadingad.com/ blog.
This man was interesting in that he seemed to have all his spiritual ducks in a ruler straight line--a long relationship with his husband Vincenzo, a beautiful home near, or in East Flatbush, a brand new recreational vehicle which he and Vincenzo plan on taking on tour to Alaska and back next summer, a house in the Poconos, and his neice is Rosario Dawson. When he told me he experienced the lower east side in his party-prime in the early 1980s, I knew I was in the midst of a godhead. Not only did he know the reference of Klaus Nomi, he knew Klaus Nomi...whayat?!
...and he also does this blog thing called www.fadingad.com/blog.
What kind of threw me...you know, the curve ball, the boomerang, the arc climax, the ironic moment, okay okay, he said his father died at age 56 and that all the men in his family died young. Yet Frank had been HIV positive since 1984 and it's now 2009...i haven't met many HIV carriers to my knowledge or awareness, but we're talking 25 years of survival and full living!
Tis some spiritual math...spiritual math, indeed.
