About Me

Check out my website, for some of my photos dan mouradian dot com, BTW I hate fashion photography it just pays the bills sometimes. I am really into portrait and landscape stuff though.
If you want to be my friend you had better damn well message me first, I have an unusual tendancy of wanting to know the people I "befriend", so please message first. As a matter of fact I will not add you on principle, if you dont.
I ride an all black road bike (bicycle) eveyday and it is awesome. I like black, if something, anything is all black there is a 78% chance I will buy it. Black is just well classical and good. And you cant fuck it up. If the weather in good old chicago is fair i will drive my 68 charger around. Its loud and a gas-guzzler but fuck it style has to count for something. Besides its gangster as a mother fucker.
I am a 25 year old, doing what I can to pay my mortgage, Im hood rich and proud of it, a photographer, a designer currently working for myself, Weapons of Mass Media is my company co founded with a friend of mine. Generally speaking I am OCD and hate messes. I tend towards organization, I hate people who are late and cant stand when people dont return phone calls. I don't sleep, sleep makes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and beside my eyelids arent that interesting. I really avoid the whole sleep thing thing all together. I'd rather break dawn. I'm a nice person who believes in treating others the way you want to be treated, put myself last, I love my mom, dad was never there, family is important, when the light above my head goes off i take showers, it helps me think, I stay in until the hot water runs out. I believe in helping others when you can, barter systems, fixing things. I enjoy old cameras. and new ones. Ive got lots of scars, I like them, they make good stories. I love traveling and getting to that with my friends is one of the best things this life has given me, I like stories, listening and telling them. I love Roadtrips and frequently go on them for no reason. Fuck Regret.
I never lie and chances are something I say is going to piss you off, but hey, I'm an ass and if the truth hurts, do something about it other than get pissed and storm off - deal with your reality and be comfortable with who you are and the truth wont be so bad.
Life has thrown me some curve balls, but one thing i feel is that if you are a good person, good things happen to you, its not karma, cause that is bullshit. Terrible things happen to great people and innocent people all the time. And the people that do these things; often are too far gone to even realize they are a shitty person. Remaining ignorant. I have met an incredible person and am glad to share my life with her, she is my confidant and resurrected me from my former life. Meeting her has proved to be one of the most enjoyable experiences i have had and every day is new. I love her and she knows it.
