Longest Week of Laundry

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!

Trying to Get the Internet Without $$$!

Wow, I thought I was going to get free internet from my neighbors wireless....wrong! It worked for like a week and I was really excited, but they quickly realized my pirating and blocked me. Luckily I have to return to my college for one last class and I have access to internet there, so most likely I will be trying to update once a week. Its really weird to be back at school without running into people from my graduating class, I really miss them! Other than that, life is pretty good. Although I feel that my photographic work is really speradic, all over the place and I feel that Im searching for a thread that I can go after full fledge. I hope someone can relate?

Ongoing Work

Its Been Way to Long ....

Its been a really long time since I updated this thing, Life has been so crazy! My official answer to why I have not been posting on this damn thing is that I am poor and cant afford the internet, moving into my first apartment and being entirely financially independent has taken its toll. I feel so disconnected from my photography lately because I have been so focused on working commercially, I am working 40 hours plus at a photographic processing lab and by night am juggling 3 freelance jobs! Today I finally got out with my camera and it felt goooood! I think I am going to start a self portrait project for therapy and discovery of myself that is so drastically changing each day. My goal after these freelance jobs are out of my hair is to focus my attention back on my art and promoting my work while attempting to get exhibited locally. That would be great, so I expect to get the internet as #1 priority for the sake of my photographic career (the beginnings of a long path) and I plan on posting and networking more readily instead of working on projects that I frankly care less about.
