Back in early Spring of this year I visited the W Hotel in Boston in support of the NOH8 Campaign and celebrity photographer Adam Bouska, one of the campaign’s founders.
What is NOH8 you ask? “The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of [California] Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest.”
Over 500 people came out in support of the Boston photo shoot ranking it among one of the top cities Adam has visited since the organization’s inception back in 2008.
