SHE ARRIVETH! i am utterly beside myself with joy nerves pride crying, the works, to announce that i have a BOOK coming june 20th and available for pre-orders now, published by @chroniclechroma , the art imprint of @chroniclebooks . it’s my first monograph (i had to look up that word), a collection of my all favorite photos. all my dreams of what flowers can express that words can’t, and of a creative community centered on joy, playfulness, sensuality, and wonder.
thank you so much gloria, steve, and alexandria at @chroniclechroma for seeing potential in me. thank you to all the amazing artists who appear in these pages in some form or another. and thank you to all who have followed me here on this platform throughout the years and witnessed my journey. i’m so grateful. this book is for you!
the pre-orders are so important to the life of a little book, so please order now in the link in my bio! much love, dodo xoxo

sweet love of my life
we said goodbye to you on valentine’s day
another reason to hate that day my new york story—you
on the first morning, i carried you, size of my palm, through thompkins square park
over the years,
gramercy, bushwick, harlem, jackson heights
you saw me through all the chapters
break ins, break ups, breakthroughs
all the proposals we worked on together
a picture of you in the new yorker!
famous son of mine
so perfect soft funny
love bug
good boy
home was you
love was you
rewind time
do it again
i’d pay this heart ache price over and over
love is so short, someone said
and forgetting so long
is this when i should get a tattoo?
to say, thank you
to say, mama loves you forever

listen, this year was a roller coaster ride, but aren’t they always. thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who gave me a chance this year, bought prints, bought books, hired me for events, booked me for shoots. and thank you to the incredibly talented and photogenic artists who helped me make it happen and endured me asking for group photos and videos. i didn’t do that as much this year —my mind was too preoccupied. it’s what i love the most so i’m hoping i get to be ridiculous again next year. lastly, thank you for still following this journey. wishing you all joy and love. i am rooting for you!
