I've been tagged several times (most recently by the lovely Bek) and never got around to doing it...so, better late than never, here are my 10 random pointless facts:
1 - I don't really like the internet all that much. I am one of the only people I know who doesn't have a facebook, myspace, twitter, or any of that. If not for flickr, I probably wouldn't spend any time at all online outside of work.
2 - If I could only choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be fresh watermelon, cut into chunks.
3 - I shattered my left ankle when I was 15. I had surgery, and it was reassembled with steel pins. They don't set off metal detectors, but I get weird pains when the weather changes sometimes.
4 - My old house is haunted. No joke. I have witnesses.
5 - I learned to read when I was 3.
6 - Nine Inch Nails is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them perform live 23 times in 8 states.
7 - I fail at all sports. I haven't been good at a sport since kickball in grade school.
8 - I have never in my life been afraid of the dark.
9 - I've never taken a photography class, but I would love to learn how to develop my own film.
10 - I am not a fan of extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. My ideal weather would be low 80's during the day and low 60's at night. I love thunderstorms and fog more than anything.

The Challenge: Take one self portrait each day for a year.
Each day, take a self portrait, tag it with "365days", and submit it to the pool. It's that simple!
cropped tight so you can't see my horrible hat hair.
dwayne johnson would approve of this shot, i'm sure.

but i think that i would like to be good at loving and at being whole again more than anything else.

Jason Miller creates his conceptually driven images in-studio, Memphis, TN. Miller is interested in making imagery that deals with human subjects interrelating and communicating through archaic 20th century artifacts. He works both in single imagery as well as grand format digital montage. Historical topics including Memento mori, Vanitas, and a self-reflection on modern human inventions of communication paired with mirrors and symbolism are placed in communion with the use of chiaroscuro, thoroughly considered custom museum dioramas, and highly detailed photographic based renderings. .
.
No images, mediated or otherwise, are used that do not first pass directly through Millerâs camera. The goal of the photographically created images is to transcend being merely esthetically pleasing in order to arrive at a materialization of the underlying thought process. "My work is designed, from conception to final presentation, to lay bare the struggle and chess play behind my process.".
