This is a test. Initially not real keen on the blog, half-man-half-computer, mrdiggles.com set me up after much convincing by him and his cohorts at dbclay.com. The pro-blog arguement went something like, it’s the future!

We’ll see…

Hopefully, it will offer a place for outtakes, notes, polaroids, work not for my official portfolio, and in general a place to share my experience of working as a photographer. It will be approached with moods of earnestness, irony, and dry dry humor. No clues will be offered to dileniate such.

To begin a bit of context is in order: I was born in 1980. Lived in small rural areas for the early years. Studied literature. Always loved taking pictures. One thing led to another, and in Sept 2005 I moved to NYC to work as a photographer. Here now I live and struggle and try to understand my work. I take it too seriously. That I am the terribly trite cliche of a starving artist does not escape me…

That’s it for now, but pony on up to the bar and join me whenever you feel like it, and I’ll enunciate the little I’ve learned and mumble about everything else I can’t figure out at all.
