Christmas at the Other Side 'Christmas at the Other Side, Boston 1973' by Nan Goldin is one of Zjinn's most prized possessions. Bought at auction for an amount far exceeding the auction house's expectation ($10,000 USD), the man could not be more pleased. The only issue with owning one of his most beloved photographs is that he can never settle on where to keep it in his residence as he always desires it to be within view. David in Bed 'David in Bed, Leipzig, Germany 1992' by Nan Goldin is a part of his collection that he does not own the original too. Actually, in truth, Zjinn only own's a print of it, but that doesn't matter to him with this one photograph. What matters most is that he owns it in some fashion so that he can get lost in it for hours. The out of focus majority is something the man finds calming, whilst also being a lens into the simplicity and enjoyment of life. You don't need much to live beautifully. Double Bind 'Double Bind' by Leigh Ledare, but photographed by Adam Fedderly is something reminiscent of Zjinn's beloved Nan Goldin. In truth, Leigh Ledare has a similar touch with his work. That human element in the raw and the ability to capture it and make candid absolutely stunning. In truth, it is something Zjinn always strives to convey in his personal work.

American Girl in Italy 'American Girl in Italy, Florence 1951' by Ruth Orkin is, of course, another one of Zjinn's favourites. A true depiction of the times, and a photograph that, to him, captures the resilience, power, and determination of women. Despite the leering men, the woman holds all the attention and power. She is, clearly, apprehensive and uncomfortable, but still she strides on in the face of adversity. This one really speaks to how beautiful life can be amongst all the bad to Zjinn. Cookie at Tin Pan Alley 'Cookie at Tin Pan Alley, New York City 1983'by Nan Goldin (can you tell she's one of his favourites?). Capturing a moment that one can feel and relate to, 'Cookie at Tin Pan Alley' is irreplaceable. That's not even touching on how dynamic the colours are, and how you can imagine the air being filled with cigarette smoke paired with the smell of strong liqueurs. Nature of Thailand 'Nature of Thailand' by Pavel Kiselev is a hidden gem of Zjinn's collection. It is a photograph that brings both pleasure and insight into the man himself as he feels a connection to it. In truth, Zjinn tends to photograph more 'explicit' things in his off time, but never moves to publish any of them. He has a fascination with sex and nature, being it the world outside or human nature, as well as psyche. The 'Nature of Thailand' is, to him, one of the most quintessential examples of what he tries to attain.

➣SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES ▪
If anything, with his spiritual and religious mindset, the only thing where Zjinn is truly found lacking is in his attachment to the flesh. To slake his carnal needs can sometimes take over his thinking, though it is a rarer occurrence as of late. Loving a fellow human being has never really delved into true romance, thus sexual proclivities (even more so) are an area where he does understand that he has a major fault. This aside, however, below are the main sexual vices he has a penchant for:
