Perkins says that the general vibe of the collection is “girls–Motley Crue status.” The austere sex appeal of this “ALL girl zine” is achieved through a multitude of lenses, ranging from your everyday disposable camera to a DSLR. The combination of staged and witnessed photos was shot mostly in Virginia and New York.
The idea for this zine came from a dream that Perkins had: “about a steeple and a sand trap, but [the] steeple sank, it made me cry;” an ardent dream that surely inspired some vivid photographs.
There is a lot more coming out of camp Perkins in the near future, including a collaboration with Play Cloths, the clothing company run by the members of Clipse; a book of poetry; and hopefully a short film with John Sebastian Vitale, with whom Perkins previously collaborated on Magick Margaritasville.
