About
I'm quirky, my work is quirky...it works for me.
hopefully it works for you too.
the basic: I'm a working photographer in the Orlando area, but [more than] willing to travel. I love photographing people because it's tough to interact with a piece of fruit or architecture..and frankly, people might look at you funny. I'm easy going but I will get the job done and won't be happy with it until it looks like what I had in my head. I'm a purist at heart, photoshop can be the touch of death. Iin case you're like me and like bulletin points to organize your thoughts (or you tend to skim):
I shoot:
-film & digital
-35mm, medium format, polaroid
-color & black and white
-studio & location
the less basic: Those rainy, breezy overcast florida days that no one else likes make me feel alive. I dance everywhere, except I don't really like clubs: I feel claustrophobic around that many tightly packed sweaty people. I have a tendency to make people laugh really hard, so make sure to bring an extra pair of pants. I love words and I tend to make up new ones because my brain works twice as fast at my tongue...so I combine them a lot. I like to think it's more efficient this way. You'd think I'd be good at scrabble, but I'm not. at all. I also like parantheses (because it's like i'm interrupting my own thoughts). I also tend to ramble.
Interested in setting up a photo shoot?

be the change.
you don't sit in a scalding hot bath do you?
or keep food you didn't like the taste of sitting on your tongue?
when it comes to social issues, why are we so prone to remain sitting in that bath tub or tasting the food just to complain about it later?
why not change …

Trendy Religion
Friend:Also, when I was scrolling to figure out who was covering Hey Ya I noticed you do not enjoy trendy religion. I find that peculiar for someone who goes to Status. Not to call you out. I just find it curious.
Me: Ah, I see my cover song pulled you in. ;) I …
Music
-I think it's such a letdown when there are songs you really love and then you get the chance to meet the actual artist..they're...well, not a very nice person. I never know what to say when I meet them because I mean, they're just like us...their job just involves them being on stage and some [unfortunately] are really cocky. I'm not terribly good with small talk with strangers in general, nor do I care to converse with people who are stuck on themselves...regardless of whether you're in a band. p.s. If you've got real strings in a song, you instantly earn "awesome points."
Favorite Chipotle Burrito
veggie with black beans, rice, corn salsa, lettuce, a little tomato, and guacamole.

And P/S (in regard to that blog comment): you should totally take me & Drew on in scrabble. We'll decide whether you're good at it or not!
Jeanners, Sep 22, 2007:
Oh, I'll be there, too :) See you tonight!!
Jeanners, Sep 21, 2007:
Me, me, me! Seriously, I wanna do some fotos. I have so got to find the time. Maybe Saturday night? Are you working?
If only I didn't have to work... :) Happy Freakin' Friday!

I'm doing great! But, I can't post your commit or people will think I live in Nashville. I actually live in Greenville, SC and just started a new job as an engineer for NeedtoBreathe. How are you?

Good to hear from you. We found a sweet house to live in and things are going well. Do you want to shoot anytime soon?

I'm doing ok. Still looking for a job, but it will come. How are you?
