AMON. ME. 2026.

📸: @petermkrask

Many thanks to Peter for capturing my essence. As a gay man, I have a very complicated relationship with my body. It may not seem that way because of what I post. Believe it or not, it’s started out as a dare to myself to be unapologetic about my body. Whether I felt good about the pictures or not. Because of learned survival mode and warped sense of self worth from a closeted teenager till a forty something out gay man, there’s always been performance. Not Correy. A lot of that has to do with growing up in a community where white ripped body aesthetics are considered the “standard”. Where their gaze means acceptance. Also, a lot of that has to do with trying to fit in spaces that were never genuine. I always tried to get people to notice me. That I was worth knowing and being loved.

In doing that, I’ve only lost myself further into my own void. Instead of just being myself, I edited. Reactions to me versus other people have reflected that over the years. I always noticed the difference, and it always hurt because I knew why that was. I was so groomed into performing that I didn’t know how else to be. I was so self conscious doing these pictures. I have gained weight. My body isn’t what it used to be and, naturally, I felt like I’ve lost, what I thought was, my only currency.

But seeing these pictures, even though I’m still a little self conscious looking at them, I’m starting to really see ME for the first time. And I’m very grateful to Peter for capturing something I couldn’t see ❤️

2025 was… the worst and the best.
Every year I keep getting closer to myself, reaching the highest level of self-love, trust, and authenticity.

This year
My 5 year relationship and marriage ended .
I fell in love 4 times.
Got my heart broken 3.
Said goodbye to very close friends who felt almost like siblings.
Met new friends - friends I’ll keep for life.

In 2025 I was pushed into extremely uncomfortable situations like never before.
Luckily, I had the perfect support network to grow much stronger and heal big parts of my past.

It was the year I created the most so far:
I wrote a full feature screenplay and started shifting gears toward production.
I was photographed by so many wonderful and talented photographers - with each one, it felt like we were creating art and bringing a vision to life.
I modeled for so many talented artists, each of whom interpreted me differently and in their own unique style.
I became popular on Instagram and got to build connections with a bunch of cool and weird people (weird like me) from all over the world.

I am lucky to have my birthday so close to the beginning of the new year; I get to close the birth year and the calendar year together.
I’m grateful for this year. It’s been the worst, but also the best.
