So you made it here, thanks for looking at my profile. I'm enjoying photography and for now flickr has been a place for me to put my favorite photos. I should probably post some of my shots that I'm less proud of but I'm just not there yet. I'm formulating my ideas on a project. For now I describe it this way: I want to do a series based on strong women. I'm inspired by the characters in Pedro Almdovar's films and the women in my life. I have never worked with models, but I'm working on that now. What is difficult about working with models seems to be knowing their strengths. It would be much easier if we just hung out and I took pictures as we got to know each other. More on this later.

Listening to Women with my camera

-----------------------------------------------------

I bought a rangefinder partly because of the photographers that inspired me.

1. Henri Cartier-Bresson

2. Nan Goldin

3. Ralph gibson

I also really wanted a camera that was smaller and quieter then a SLR. I'm not really sure if the Epson has a quieter shutter but it is certainly smaller allowing me to get close to my subjects without distracting them.

Its a good idea to turn off SafeSearch to see all of my photos.

This is how to do it:

1) on the left top menu, under the drop down menu of "You" there's a "Your account" option.

2) choose that then go to "Privacy and Permissions"

3) on the bottom of the page, under "content filter" press "edit"

4) choose "safe search off" and choose both non-photographic images" and "screenshot"

5) save your changes
