This past weekend I had the honor of capturing some of . This image in particular is just part of the traditions in the LGBTQIA Leather community. This was a Covering Ceremony. Presenting someone with a Cover or Masters Cap is one of the highest honors given to those who do work for our community. It is an acknowledgment of achievements, contributions, and commitment to the leather community.

Glenda has been a pillar of the leather community for a very long time. She has raised countless amounts of money, given protection to those who needed it, and also participated in or volunteered for many events and organizations. She has impacted every person she has met, including me. It was a great honor to be asked to capture this moment.
