Model Sam Russell at AMCK Models
Holding onto the early rises, he embraces the ghostly shadows beside him. The clock melts into a blackness, leaving behind only the remnants of questioning. Sam is at that pivotal age, sitting strong on the cusp of manhood and swaying with the tide. Your vision can become hazy, slightly out of focus upon this unexpected route. Puddling into his book, the tranquility of pausing the pressures is within those faded letters and curling corners; inhaling that old dusty scent of wisdom. Fading between sleepy eyes, those pages browned with age rustle through his mind and fingertips as he glides across every word in breathless rapture.
