Garth Greenwell & Mark Armijo McKnight's creative friendship

In 2020, Aperture magazine invited Garth Greenwell to write about Mark Armijo McKnight's photographs. The images immediately captivated him, offering new possibilities for thinking and feeling.

Their work meets in shared spaces: the erotic, the poetic, desire and restraint, silence and shadow; both illuminating queer lives with honesty and complexity.

What began as an assignment deepened into a deep, loving friendship, one that continues to reshape and expand their inner and outer worlds.
