About Me

AIM SCREENAME: Photoguyintx; YAHOO: Photoguyintx80 I am just your average college student/waiter/starving artist/writer/photographer/cancer survivor/now PUBLISHED AUTHOR. Okay, where do I begin? If I am not at work or on a photo shoot, I can usually be found at Madisons, enjoying a nice jack and coke or bloody mary. If you see me, say hello. If you are nice I might even buy you one. I used to do the clubs but not much anymore. I mostly go out with friends now and then for a drink or several or I am at home, lounging at home watching a movie. I am a college student who is going back to school for the first time in over 3 years because a full-time job, a full semester load, and chemotherapy do not mix. Don't try it because it doesn't work. Being a cancer survivor is not something to mope around about, I don't know why people do that. It is something to be celebrated and I plan on doing that as much as I can from now on. I have little time for bullshit so don't hit me up if thats all you can dish out. I've been shot, stabbed, beaten, blown-up, etc, etc, etc so there is nothing anyone can do to me that I can't handle. I've been in love once and would like to experience it again only this time with the person still in my life. Nightime is my time. Skinny dipping on a warm summer night is like heaven on Earth. The next best thing is a warm summer night on the sandbar, a campfire, a nice drink, and some Ray Charles in the background. I love some country and all rock n roll. Rap is not music, it is noise. I can't brag about my body so I have to brag about my personality, it is golden considering the shit I have been through. My two favorite American cities are Charleston, SC and New Orleans, LA. They are both beautiful and full of history. I have the greatest friends in the world and I would die for any one of them (or kill for them if it came to that). I do not think revenge is a dish best served cold. I do not think the customer is always right. I think people who go into resturants to eat should also take their brain cells in with them. I am not a people person, I love certain individuals. I love to sleep late. Anyone who wakes me up should wear protective head gear. I hate night clubs but don't mind a bar every once in a while. I don't like alot of noise. Kids are fine but I do not want any of mine own. I do want to finish college and get my criminal justice degree but writing, making movies, and taking pictures of everything is all I want to do the rest of my life. I love nudity, if I had a better body I would be naked all the time. I like taking pictures of pretty naked people. I love photography, my cameras are my babies. I think black and white photographs are extremely hot. I have a temper and I am not afraid to use it but I do not blow up on a whim. I like to be happy as much as possible. I think the written word is the greatest creation, so thats why there are so many here.Portfolio 1 - New Orleans Halloween 2006 Portfolio 2 - Corpus Christi, Texas
