About Me

Welcome to AV Nelson's Photography & Design Myspace!!
Let me start off by saying "Thank You" for visiting my page. My name is AV, and obviously, I take pictures. I do call myself a photographer, but, not because I take pictures. Simply because of the fact that I practice the art of photography. I also do a tad bit of design, but, I won't call myself a designer.

Myspace Mirror Portraits.
Pornstar Friend Requests.
"You are so hot" messages.
The "Scene."
Nappy hair.
Backing down.
Fighting back.
Abusive people.
HTML.
"Bannered" comments.
Emo.
Suicide Girls.
Tila Tequila.
Stalkers.
Profiles made private.
Myspace in general.
Things I Love:
My Girlfriend.
Beautiful pictures.
Life.
Music.
Philosophy.
GOD.
People.
Walking aimlessly.
Laughing.
A Good Cause.
Photography.
One-liners.

(I use a Toyo Optics Five Star Auto Macro Zoom and a Sears Multicoated Wide Lense with this camera)
a Ricoh Singlex Manual SLR, circa 1960's-'70's model,
and an Olympus FE-140
