Hi!
I'm a regular photographic contributor to SameSame - say hello if you see me out with my camera, or if you're in any of the photographs I've taken!
If you're not comfortable with being photographed then that's ok too.
PLEASE - if you want to contact me, or you're interested in buying my images then email me at mc [at] lunasa [dot] net. The messaging system here tends to fill up easily.
Apologies, but I can't respond to requests for free images.
There's more on me at SameSame here: http://www.samesame.com.au/allabout/artist/901/Morgan-Carpenter.htm
I'm regularly in print in local and international gay/lesbian newspapers. You can also find me on Facebook at http://facebook.com/morgan.carpenter and at my own website, http://lunasa.net/
The profile pic is from September 2007: a trial run for my Sleaze costume.
Morgan Carpenter.

For party and festival goers, police, drug dogs and strip searches have become commonplace. It seems the days of letting off steam far from the watchful eye of Big Brother are long gone. But how much do they cost? And are the dogs actually working?

This week President Obama gave a speech at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Washington. Watching it moved me to tears. Never before had I witnessed a world leader of such stature stake such a claim on supporting change for the LGBT community.
