Amos Mac doesn't want to miss out.

"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.

So many creative people who are willing to show people in a positive light! Awesome.
