About Me


I can only find quiet and focus when surrounded by chaos and noise. Probably why I live in NY. I can put an amazing amount of time and attention in to the most banal of tasks...in fact I prefer the banal ones to those of significance.Brooklyn photographercheck out my site www.jayrog.com

My Interests

I seem to gravitate to most forms of visual media...Photography/Film/Magazines. I love going to daytime movies alone. I love live jazz, but a recent show taught me that I like the mood sometimes more than the music. The ambient sound hits me more than intense study of performance.Black Tea is my new coffee.

I'd like to meet:

Other freelance people...for creative projects, but more so because I need some friends without real jobs. All of my daytime adventure buddies have either moved away, got real jobs, or become pretty boring. The only benefit of struggling with the financial insecurity of freelance creative work is that you can go to galleries/movies/breakfast anytime you want.
