055 RESTLESS

My nights have been filled with these sorts of visions — epic, lavish, monumental and gaudily hued, which is why photographer Merkley???’s series makes me feel like I’m having a waking dream. “I was raised Mormon in Utah,” he says. “Went on a Mormon mission to Brazil. Masturbated the whole time.”

merkley??? was raised a strict Mormon in Utah. He served a Mormon mission to Brazil, where he masturbated semi-regularly. He felt terrible about it. He has seventeen siblings, and his parents have been married three times each. They feel terrible about it. When his Mormon relatives who share his name Google merkley, he is the number-one result. THEY feel terrible about it. He lives in San Francisco, where he photographs naked women, pets, gays, and the occasional chump. He feels ok about it.
