I was following this dude, ok almost stalking him .. waiting for a good profile stand.

Here is some news, I figure I should start actualling typing up actual photography stuff from me!

Photography
I have found a partner, Keith Franke and is a willing soul to partake in my photography ideas. He really digs the ideas. But the only problem is he's a bit not close. He really wants to visit and go to boston or nyc to hang out and take tons of photography. I'm pretty excited go out and spend the day walking everywhere and take photos. I don't want to stop in shops or look at stuff really. But just focus on people, creating a scene in my head.

These portraits that I will share with you are very different then you already see me. I'm exposed in the sense that I feel vulnerable, alone, sad, tired, waiting, stressed. As mister man said after viewing the first scans of these ortraits, 'from documentary to art'. He made such wonderful comments and help me to even view them even deeper.

Thanks to `zerocomplex for his support in my positivness with this photo.

In other news, I sent out two rolls of film to a mail away developer. one roll of Ilford HP5 3200 and a Ilford 400 120 film. My first medium formate roll! I look forward to them returning. By the end of Feb. I should see them. I'm looking a buying a professional studio light. I would love to give better protraits. I was in the NYC during the weekend with the mister man, we had a good time. We had a hotel to crash at. I really really really can't wait for spring to hit again. It's my time to shine as a photographer. It don't handle the winter months very well. I also got a snazzy hip camera bag, it fits one slr body with 100mm lens with three additional lens. So basically I can carry all my gear! yay! it's so much better to have it on your hip. The weight of all the gear is centerized. *feels like a pro*
