i was talking to my friend Chase the other day while we were in New Orleans, and he said, “hey man, you should start a photo blog for all of your photos.” So I said, “ok, that sounds like a pretty good idea.” And thats how you have come to be reading this now. I’m a photographer that is currently enrolled in graduate school at Southern Illinois University, but to be honest with you, I don’t know why I’m in grad school, and I may just drop out because it is a highly policitized load of institutional crap that forces you to succumb to other people’s views of what education should be, but usually leaves out the actual practice of creating visual art. so anyways, im going to post a lot of photos and hopefully get some feedback or just comments from friends and family. Feel free to tell me whatever you think, using comments such as: “that photo made me realize what my role in life is” or “you should really consider a different profession because that photo is perhaps the largest waste of silver i’ve ever seen in my entire life.”

    Thanks for the shout-out. I could pretty much look at your photography all day… but Alisha would get jealous. If only you could take some photos of her. Then everything in the universe would be balanced.

    haha, it was kinda weird when I started editing my photos from the trip, because you were in 4 or 5 of my favorites. guess you are just a good subject…im telling you man, quit grad school and become a photographer, in fact, i’ll quit too and we can open a studio or something

    Stick it out, get through the program. That silly peice of paper will get you through a lot, and the same goes for all the political bs your putting up with now. How do you think Todd has survived at FAMU for all these years??
    Keep shooting, Darts is really nice (of all the images you put “Kodak moment” titles too, though, you couldnt come up with anything other than that? ;)
