Cool people, anybody with an open mind and not shy to use it, no matter what the subject. I like to meet other photographers and throw styles and ideas back and forth... it helps me learn different techniques. I am always looking for models to shoot.
The type of music I listen to is regulated by my mood... I really enjoy music.. all styles of music. Dave Matthews, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Eminem, Big Band Latin music, Reggae, Enigma, B tribe. The music that I hate are songs thats focus is to promote thug violence and is demeaning towards woman by refering to them as bitches and hoes and how to beat woman. I have a huge collection of cd's in perfect condition not a scratch on any of them. Some of the old school stuff I listen to is Steve Miller Band, INXS, NWA, NIN, The Police, Sting, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Prodigy, Van Halen.
Huge movie fan. Scareface, Heat, Big, Something about Mary, Caddyshack, History of the World, King Kong, My own. Porno is King
Dont have time to watch alot of TV but Reality shows Rock...Real World..Next top Model...Average Joes...
I do not read books on Vacation. ..Books on Photography are cool but Magazines like Maxim, Fhm, Playboy, Allure, Cosmopolitan get my attention. Reading material with pictures mostly... If one picture says a thousand words why do all the reading. I have the mind of a Photographer i see beauty in everything around me visually. When opening a magazine sure i look at the products but i also look deeper into the picture..I think to myself, is this the way i would want my product viewed...What mood does the picture display. What type of camera was used..35mm, digital, med format, large format, What type of lighting..natural or flash..soft or hard light. What angles of light hit the model or product..What is the depth of field. Can i find errors in editing. What if, the photographer added more sex appeal to the photo would he get the customer to view the page for a few seconds longer burning the image and product deep into the customers mind. Its a shame how many little things pass us by. Look at anything close up.. see and enjoy the colors, textures and curves of everyday things.
Everyone's a Hero if they want to be.
