About Me

Hello, 1 and all. This is my domain, The Blacklight Studio. An online galleries of art and photography I've done over the years. I do drawings, photos, some CG (I am at the beginner's level), I write short stories, I have some videos that I record either with my camera phone or video camera. My subjects vary from one to the other. I'm into nice cars and beautiful women. I try to keep my content as decent as I can because I do have minors who look at my stuff as well. Now that I have a digital camera in my possession (finally), I do more photography than I do art, and sometimes it's hard to balance the two out, but I KNOW that it can be done cause I've done it before. I'll shoot anything with my camera just like I'll draw anything that comes to mind and post it online. I have a website on flickr.com that is mostly photos I've taken over the years, and I have a website on blogger.com where I can give a brief description of some art/photos that I've had for quite some time. I am a native and resident of Detroit, Michigan. I'm happy to witness its comeback which is evidently a slowly but surely process. I've also decided to step my game up as a photographer by hooking up with other photographers as well as models or anyone who would like some exposure to get some publicity for their businesses (both the entrepneurs and myself benefits either way). I've been on myspace for almost a year and I'm lovin' it! My new goal is to expose the REAL Detroit! It's my town, and I love it. To quote Chris Rock, "rats and all!". So form landscapes to seascapes, to skylines to beautiful folk I encounter from day to day. Now that my 1st anniversary is fast approaching, I intend to show a more serious side of myself as an artist, so while my page is open to the public, I don't just let any1 in this circle, U gotta bring something to the table in order to fit in, as it were! So if you wanna be friends, there's a condition. I'm gonna check out your profile, and if I see something that I don't like, you ain't gettin' in! END OF STORY! If you don't have a photo (of some sort), same rule applies. Other than that, stop by and see what I have in store. If in the near future this should rise up to levels beyond my imagination, I'd like to make my own empire under the same name. I'll explain that at a later time.
