"I don't want to die knowing that I could have taken portraits of specific people at one time and didn't," says the Brooklyn photographer, publisher, artist and blogger. "I make sure to photograph everyone I want to."
The people Mac wants to photograph, the ones he wants to document and celebrate, are people like him: transgender.
"I was sick of seeing portraits of trans men in art shows taken by non-trans people who were photographing trans people because they felt we are exotic or different or just so fascinating and neat,'" he says.
