About Me


PHOTOGRAPHY
I'm a photographer for hire, primarily located in the NY metro area however i am willing to travel with transportation expenses covered pretty much up and down the north east. I do work on TFP/CD basis occasionally, usually if i'm in town for a short period of time or if i have a specific project i'm looking to get done. If you've got an idea or theme you're looking to get done...feel free to run it by me and we'll see if we can work together to bring it to life. If you're interested in working together, feel free to contact me via myspace messages or through one of the following.

::PICTURE OF THE DAY::

::BIOGRAPHY::

i've been on here for about a year now and i'm finally getting around to actually writing something 'about myself' as opposed to those little generic 'made up' surveys that tell you exactly everything you already know about me and everything you didn't really want to know. SO here goes nothing... first off let me clear up a few things about myself...i'm Nigerian...yes i was born there and yes i did spend quite a bit of my childhood there...no i don't have an 'accent' and NO i didn't live in a tree and chase monkeys growing up so FUCK YOU, don't ask!
i'm pretty friendly if you ever really get to know me and if you don't...well chances are you'll think i'm the most arrogant or conceited person in the world and i don't like you...that's really not true... i just can't be bothered to acknowledge your existence and chances are you think i ignore you intentionally cuz i've got an issue with you...well guess what...you're really not that special :) i think the word 'friend' is overly abused by people...i like to think of people i know of but don't really talk to as acquaintances...you know those people that you walk by and exchange nods of approval or maybe even a 'hey, how's it going?' which doesn't necessarily warrant a reply cuz quite frankly you really don't care how they're doing...it's just the polite thing to say...well according to society it is
i go to manhattanville college...it's up in the middle of bumblefuck westchester, right between private golf course number 234 and huge corporate headquarter number 574. It's my senior year and i'm not in any huge hurry to graduate cuz, quite frankly, the real world is a fucked up place where you slave your entire adult lives just so you can one day retire...move to florida(or arizona) and die of heat exhaustion. I'm 21, yes i realize i look older...fuck you again...i've had people tell me that half my life...forgive me for not wanting to hear it from you... i really am not a regular potty mouth...i just feel the need to emphasize certain things so everything's nice and clear...
i've had people tell me i don't act black...now i'm gonna ask you this...what exactly is acting black? i'm sorry i don't go round speaking in ebonics, i'm sorry if i don't wear a du-rag (is that how you spell it?), i'm sorry if you're actually reading this and nodding your head along thinking that's what defines being black...you stereotypical bastard! FUCK YOU! i like watching golf and tennis and cycling and every other sport you think is boring...i don't like baseball and cricket...something about grown men swinging bats just doesn't appeal to me i guess...
i appreciate the arts...and yes i realize that might sound very cliche but well...it's the truth...i'm in awe of anyone who can draw, play an instrument, sculpt, dance(not around a pole or in a club) or just make something out of nothing... i like to think of myself as a noun photographer...if you didn't get that...this should help you understand it better...
noun P(noun)
n. Abbr. n.
a word that can be used to refer to a person or place or thing or animal.
and if you still don't get it...well i take pictures of any and everything that catches my eye....currently working on my black and white and digital portfolios...my website will be up soon so watch out for that!!
i've got issues with people who can't spell properly or hve horrible grammar skills...those who TyPe Lyke ThIs NeEd To meet an unfortunate end soon, people who type cast themselves as being goth or punk or thugs...ever heard of individualism? it's such a wonderful thing. Classist, sexist, racist...anything with an -ist at the end really...you need to go way
i never thought i'd be saying this but i guess it is worth mention, if you do request to be added...i won't say no (initially) but at least have the common courtesy to say hey at some point...you know...see how I'M doing or you will be deleted just as quickly as you are added...i'm not interested in helping you become 'e-cool' by being one of your thousands of internet friends who you've never spoken to but just thought it'd be cool to add them as a friend so you could see that magical red number on your profile increase...
with that said...i'm always up to meeting new, interesting people...artists, people from my past, people from my present, insomniacs...if you happen to be up at 5am reading this...let's be 'buddies' cuz chances are i'm awake and bored as well...heck if you're ACTUALLY reading this let's be buddies
