Damn it...

I still need to get better at blogging. The picture posted in the previous post has nothing to do with the idea I am currently working on. Its just a good pic with a relevant message for today. As the project comes together I will be posting some out takes, nothing that will end up in the book. For the first number of posts, depending on how often I actually post, there won't be many pictures. But stay tuned because just the adventure of me blogging is reason enough (as soon as I learn how to do it effectively).

New project...

So I have been in LA for a little over a year now and have had a number of experiences. For the purpose of this blog I will keep it confined to my photography experiences. I have meet some great people and helped some great photographers. I even got to do my first paid gig for an up and coming clothing line which could lead to more things. But all in all it has been going very slow. I am not in a hurry but I feel as if I am already behind and I am catching up. I have had a tough year in a number of ways, but I think I have seen a bright light somewhere in the tunnel. It may not be the end of it, but at least its a light. I have tons of ideas for projects. 30 years of never having an artistic outlet, coupled with some acquired maturity has led me to create a number of concepts. But after living in LA for this time I have found out that there a number of formalities that I need to be concerned with. With my ideas the biggest road block I have found is the inability to get equipment. But through perseverance and meeting good people I am working my way to taking care of that problem.

But over the past few days I have really struck gold. I feel such a calling to my new project to the point where it is all I can think of and I even feel the call of it inside myself. It is going to be a portrait book that will bring together some of the greatest individuals in the world today. Right now my goals are very ambitious, but I have learned to really see my ideas as concepts. Concepts that need to achieved through lots of planning, thinking and hard work. But I don't think if I will know how to quit this idea. So make sure yo stay tuned to the blog to check on the progression of my idea. Tell your family and friends to tune in as well.
