Something New

These are just a few photo's from my newly revised projects, Im pretty stoked about the direction these are going in! Other than that, Im excited to go out and use my new digital camera today. I bought a Canon 40D from B&H and I know that this is going to allow me more freedom when im shooting i.e. not having to worry about how many rolls I have, I hate that question of "should I really take this picture or should I save my film for something better" amongst other restrictions that are self imposed with medium format film. 

I THINK ???!

So I feel that what I have been looking for with my photography lately is some sort of clarity in purpose. I think that personally I am changing at such a fast rate that I feel that freezing a moment, a definitive moment might clarify what direction I am going and the person I am becoming, an introspection through external means ....photography ...also included in my self portraits are the people I love the most, my girlfriend and our best friend Greg, so its not quit a self portrait, but I dont know what to call it otherwise.
Also I feel that I need social meaning, and I believe that we, as a people are going to begin to experience a long and difficult depression. As a photographer I feel its my calling to document the effects of years of mismangement, excessive spending and corruption. And allas we have the new- New Deal, and an age of Epic Recession. I think that the project that I have started in College on suburban home development will quickly transform into a documentation of the effects of the economy......
Anyway, that was my rant on what I feel is important and my direction with my work, hope to have some images up next time!
