I'm a PHOTOGRAPHER in MEMPHIS, TN .
.
Ok, most of you that know me or know about me already know that the main reason I'm on MySpace is to Network with Musicians and Models and Introduce new People to My Photography who may otherwise have not had a chance to see it yet. I DON'T USE MYSPACE AS A DATING SERVICE OR TO PICK UP DATES. With that said, I am always willing to meet knew people and make new friends, so for those of you who added me or those of you I added so I could show you my work, here goes :
.
I'm a left handed creative type of person and I like working for myself, making my own hours and as much money as I care to make and not strapped down in some dead end 9 to 5 job. Also I am a night person by nature, always have been, always will be, even when I had those dead end jobs I always worked the 2nd or 3rd shifts and slept in the daytime if I slept at all, lol. That is something else about me some of you may not know, when I get PASSIONATE about something, like I am about TAKING PICTURES then I can stay up for 3 days straight and die on the 4th day, just so I can get the work done and out there to you guys and gals, haha, I Feed Off of the Positive Comments and the Critiques as well, Espesially ones with Pointers, that's how I Learn (from my mistakes), it's what keeps me doing it, besides my LOVE OF MUSIC AND BEAUTY AND CAPTURING IT DIGITALLY FOR ALL OF YOU TO SEE.
.
Just a little Friendly Advice from me To all of You on my friends list : Patience Is Good and All In Good Time are great Catch Phrases (and are good advice to an extent) but so is LISTENING TO YOUR HEART and gut Instincts and Not Listening to Your Family and Friends Advice So Much (even though listening to some of it is good and comes from a good place). Look at it this way, A Childs Love is so Pure, because they Haven't Had their Heart Broken yet, so just Wipe The Slate Clean and Don't Compare Present Or Future Relationships To Old Ones, I know this is Easier Said Than Done and way Harder Than it Seems and may Take Time, but that is what the Patience is for, For You And the Person who may be Falling In Love With You, because you Need Time to Heal from your Old Wounds Before Taking That Gamble on Love Again that May Or May Not Cause New Ones. (Hence The Gamble Part) I Wish No One Had to Learn about The Pittfalls of Love the Hard Way, but I think that Everyone Does Except people who are 80 years old and still with their Highschool Sweethearts, but THOSE ARE A DYING BREED, the Rest of us Have To Grapple with Mixed Emotions, Bad Timing, Mixed Signals, Lack of Communication, Past Relationships getting in the way by Thinking (TOO MUCH) with your Head and Not Enough With your Heart and Gut, Bad Advice coming From Good Places from people who May Know a lot of the Some Details of Your Relationship (OR WHAT YOU DECIDE TO TELL THEM, FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AT SOME OF YOUR LOWEST STATES WITH ALL OF THE EMOTIONS AND HEAT OF THE MOMENTS, CAUSING YOU TO NOT THINK WITH YOUR HEAD AT ALL !!! but are Not With You when you are Alone With That Person. I Think that's Why Music is so Universal, because ALMOST EVERYONE CAN RELATE to Lost Love and Remember a time When They Were In Love. The Music Industry Is Driven By Heartache, Pain, And Overcoming Obsticals That Get Thrown In Your Way By The Choices You've Made Or By Chance And Not By 80 Year Old Coulpes Buying Records, CD'S Or Downloading Music .., lmao. Ok that is All For Now, and Sorry for it being So Damn Long, well, I have Taken up Enough of Your Time, lol. .
