If your photographs aren't good enough, You're not close enough

About Me

I like to take photographs, work in my darkroom, and at the end of the day, I like to go out late at night and take more photographs, I play upright bass and electric bass in a alt. country/rockabilly band called Johnny Law Justice, I'm a fine arts/photography major at UNA, I work at Le Beau's Coffee in the mall, I plan to one day work for either a newspaper or a magazine and do fine art photography on the side, I like to look at books about artist and read about their lives because I'm very interested in what inspires a person to make art, I have a super cool ladyfriend named Diana, I guess I’m just your normal average Danny J. Harrell!

My Interests

Photography, old cameras, broken cameras (that I can take apart) music, my upright bass, my band, school, looking at artwork from the past, and my lady Diana.

I'd like to meet:

People who are interested in art, photography, music, reading and talking about artist and musicians of the past, coffee drinkers, anyone who listens to Johnny Law Justice, and anyone who enjoys getting their picture taken.

Music:

Ryan Adams, Rev. Horton Heat, Chuck Berry, Johnny Horton, Johnny Cash, Hank Sr. Hank III, The Tennessee Rounders, Whiskeytown, Dwight Yoakam, Koffin Kats, Horrorpops, Th' Shack Shakers, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, my friends' bands

Movies:

TMNT(The entire series) All of the batman movies and any other movies about comic book super heroes, The Notorious Betty Page, The Public Eye, LA Confidential, I really want to see Factory Girl and Fur(If anyone can get me a bootleg copy I would love you forever) This is just a really hard section to fill out because there's so many good movies out there.

Television:

I like The Shield, Simpsons, South Park, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, the evening news, The History Channel, watching music videos, AMC, Ninja Turtles, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, boomerang, VH1, I really watch a lot of TV so I can't list all of them. Anyway, TV rots your mind

Books:

Any books about an artist life or work, I really liked the Rick Bragg books, Flannery O'Connor's work, I really don't have a lot of time to read, so I mostly like books with pictures.

Heroes:

Helmut Newton, Weegee, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Batman, The Ninja Turtles, and, um, Captin Planet...He's my hero!

Courting

I think that we should all go back to the style of dating used in the 1920s.  Why can't we go courting?  How great would it be to go to town, and have a girl waiting on you with a paper bag ...
