Have you ever wanted so bad that it hurts?
I think I need to reevaluate my photography from a conceptual point of view. I think that my water series most closely defines who I am as a photographer. Yet lately I have been doing what I think I should be doing and not what I really want to be doing. Not innovating just regurgitating what I see other people do.
When referring to band photography Joey Lawrence said he would rather take pictures of a bunch of guys holding swords than take the typical stand-in- an-alley-and-look-mean picture. I like that attitude--no limits, not afraid to redefine your field or challenge the incumbent style.
I want to succeed
As soon as I figure out what that means I will let you know.
enough about me what do you guys want?

Love is silly.
I find it funny that I no longer post very often here on DA but I will still check in and every time I do I check for a note from a girl I thought I loved.
She no longer even has a profile here.
Not sure if it's habit, curiosity or hope. :)
Make It Mine
I have written this journal so many times. I was always afraid that I was going to wake up tomorrow and it wouldnt be true.
But it is true. It's been true for weeks for months almost now. I am happy.
Happiness born of an almost intrinsic belief in the control I exercise over my life and my happiness.
The knowledge that happiness is not something to be found but a choice we make every day.
I think I finally see now that perfection is inherently imperfect that we have to find perfection in the imperfect.
My portrait project has been quite simply life changing. More than I could have hoped for, the people I have met have have had a profo
New Project - New Light - New Life - Old Themes
What's different this time is I am traveling alone and the only object is to find inspiration in strangers and strange places.
Lately I have been traveling quite extensively through the western United States.
Now its time head east!
I want to photograph nearly everyone I meet, create a catalog of faces and find one person each day to profile.
I feel that there is so much beauty in this world and if I could stand back and take it all in at once it would make my heart burst. I want to find little pieces of that beauty in the people I meet, and record it. I am in love with that beauty with that discovery, the epiphany of letting go, stop tr
Break Time.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be around for a while. I need to reevaluate, reset and figure out what I am doing. It's as if I only believed in one thing and I came to find out that that belief is no longer true or perhaps was never true to begin with. How do you deal with that?
So if I don't get around to reply to comments and messages for a while you will know why.
Thank you for all your support, I honestly believe that DA is the single most important factor in my development as a photographer. Being surrounded by so much talent and genuine support is an honor.
Thank you!
