About Me

Here is a little about me:
1. First of all, I am a human being, and I live on Planet Earth.
2. I think a common sense and basic understanding of the world is VERY important.
3. Don't put down people with a GED, I have one... You have to score higher than 40% of high school seniors to pass, that means 40% of high school seniors wouldn't pass.
4. Skateboarding is a big part of my life, I try to get along with most skaters, but you have to work your way into the scene, you can't decide one day you want to be a skater and start wearing stupid "bam" or element clothes. And yes I do dress like a skater, because I am a skater.
5. Photography is another big part of my life. I appreciate your compliments, and I can appreciate other people's photography. NO I'm NOT majoring in photography, I hate the Idea of someone telling me what to take pictures of, I mean is it art, or is it class? And no one can teach creativity, which is one of the most important factors in success as an artist. I think a "professional photographer" should be defined as someone who is paid to "photograph professionals". Just because some idiot is dumb enough to pay you to take their senior pictures doesn't mean you're a good photographer; most people are just amazed to see a picture that's not blurry, so they won't be like "wow this composition and lighting are horrible". My advice to anyone considering an art major (especially photography): sure it could be good, but business is more reliable. If you have an art talent, you'll know how to use it to make money. If it turns out you're not the next big thing, you still can find a ton of jobs for you.
6. I love clothes.
7. I hate drama.
8. I love New York City.
9. I want to move there.
10. I feel like there's more to say, but I'd just go off on like 4 billion rants.
. I hate that this turned into a rant, but hopefully it will deter any ignorant people from bothering me.

One time a guy handed me a picture of himself, and he said, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is of when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I am older." "You son of a bitch, how'd you do that? Let me see that camera."-Mitch Hedberg
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. -Mitch Hedberg
