I think I found a clue

I think it's time that I start adding people to my photos again. I've been working on portraits of everyone that comes into my apartment...a lot of the time though we get drunk and I forget. Oops. The other night it snowed a lot here, and not only was I excited (secretly I'm 5) but I also got pissed considering it was the perfect boarding powder but I am no where near a mountain. Although 2 blocks from my apartment there is a billboard advertising through the help of Disney characters that 'Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.' Since, you know, there is an abundance of forest in Philly. So anyway, I did what any sane person would do at 11pm and went out with my camera and tripod and shot a few pics. This is the only one I really like.

Neon Cactus

Today I had lunch with John Carnett, staff photographer for Popular Science Magazine. I was a little nervous going into it, mainly because I was not too clear as to what about we were meeting...I mean, it would have been dream world if he looked at my portfolio and offered me an internship, but instead exactly what I though he would say (and needed to hear) was put on the table. One reason why I didn't continue school after my associates was because I was totally confused as to what my vision was. Throughout school my main teacher told me that techniqally I was there, but what I photographing and shooting for (hehe pun, shooting) was pointless. He wanted Diane Arbus and Ansel Adams, I like Miesel and color, lights. So it wasn't until this summer when I really started to clear my head and photograph my vision, and John pointed out that he didn't get a sense of me from my portfolio. We discussed a lot of things, but bottom line is, my camera will have to get used to night, neon, and these damn cold temperatures.

With Empty Words

It's obvious that I need to find a better way of hosting images here because this color sat/resolution BLOWS. But negatives aside, I'm giving my lazy self a kick start at getting my work back out there now that 476ad is gone (BUMMER!) so anyway...I'm not telling anyone anything until I'm perfectly happy with what I'm doing. That might take a little while, since all I can think about is ice skating...sup Penn's Landing?!
