Who Is My Blue Muse aka PJ Taylor?

A self-described 'snapaholic,' "I shoot because I must" is how I like to rephrase a famous writing mantra. I have omnivore tastes ranging from macros to candid portraits to urban rust & crust to dogs, lots of dogs, mine especially; to streetshots to bw studies and abstracts.

In the recent past, I've volunteered my photographic services for two great agencies in San Francisco: Rocket Dog Rescue and Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center.

Also, professionally I've begun to shoot professionally. My clients have included a wedding, holiday card family photographs, children, newborns, pets and I'm excited to venture into snapping pics of high school seniors.

I have a temporary website up but I'm working with a graphic designer developing my logo/brand and am busy putting together my rates and policies. My new site is going to be amazing. In the meantime, I have temporary business cards printed and see below to get a taste of things to come.

My website, www.pjtaylorphotography.com, is working.

News:

--One of my pics was recently on a billboard! Here's the shot: www.flickr.com/photos/mybluemuse/3972998950/

--Recently one of my photos, Seacsape, was bought and is being used in the latest Dell Commercial.

--Also, it was just announced that my photo, My Three Nuns, was chosen by a panel of judges to be included in the Tate: Street and Studio exhibition and corresponding Blurb book with 100 other Flickr winning entries.

--One of my photos, Row of Pollarded Trees, is going to be included in a Horticulture textbook.

--A picture of my two Havanese, Babalu and Desi made the cover of a 2009 calendar.

--Monterey Bay Aquarium has asked for me to donate images from a recent visit and I was happy to oblige.

--A pic of my boys was featured throughout an Animal Planet: Dogs 101 video about the Havanese breed. They didn't ask permission but it's still cool. I'm just floored how people use Flickr as a stock agency without asking permission.

--Several of my images have been chosen for inclusion in the Flickr Getty Collection.

The 'Things I Like' down below is really out-of-date but I'm keeping it up until I have this enormous amount of time and inclination to redo it.
