This is my fourth tattoo and by far my favorite. It took a total of three hours and then I had two touch-ups done. I call it my Play Crack The Sky tattoo because it was inspired by that song by the band Brand New. The specific lyrics that inspired it are, “Your tongue is a rudder, it steers the whole ship, sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth.” It’s also a verse in the Bible in James. To me it means to think before you speak because words are powerful, and once they’re said, there’s no going back.

KRISTEN: So the day of my birthday we’re sitting in the living room and we hear a knock at the door, and he [Dax] says, “Your present’s here, why don’t you go grab the dogs and go in the back room.” And I had no context for knowing what it was. But I grab the dogs, walk into the back room of the house, and I was immediately overcome and I thought there’s a sloth here. There’s a sloth here, it’s close, it’s gonna happen! And I didn’t know how to process that because my entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact - I’m serious! - with a sloth. And I, first thing you should know about me: if I’m not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I’m crying. If it’s too sad, if I’m too excited. Always. […] So I am sitting on my bed knowing that a sloth is here. I start to have a full-fledged panic attack. I don’t know how to compete with all this emotion so I just kind of crawl up on the bed and I’m crying so hard and Dax knocks on the door and he has a video camera like, “SURPRISE! I want you to come out into the — are you alright?!” And sees me basically fetal on the bed.

ELLEN: I think you brought a little footage of that, I cannot wait to see it.

KRISTEN: I did. It’s worth watching ‘cause it’s embarrassing, so we can take a look.

Lee Jeffries is an accountant from Manchester by profession but for the past few years he’s traveled around the world photographing people he encounters on the streets, particularly the homeless.

He spends time getting to know each of his subjects before shooting them, which is evident in his work. The breath taking portraits seem to suggest details of each individuals life, taking a hard unflinching look at their personal condition.

Jeffries was just announced as the 2011 Digital Camera Photographer of the Year and you can read more about him at the Independent.
