So I went on a roadtrip this summer to find fiscal sponsorship for a local community non-profit organization that I am a part of and the man that went on the trip with me ended up taking over $1,000 from me and that resulted in me losing my 2009 Honda Civic, my apartment and I wasn't able to get my real jobs back.
I'm ok emotionally, but I Have NO money so I am selling my Canon400D and my Nikon D80. I have 4 awesome lenses for my nikon d80 and just one for my canon. Please check out these ebay links.

Once upon a time in a land far far far away...

My gallery used to be pretty nice and then I went through this: "Ohhh I'm going to go through and delete and everything and start all over.."
But, I got lazy with that.. so now I'm attempting to finish what I started. I've decided to leave what I never finished deleting. Oh well. Oh well. Oh well.
I have a lot of good photos that I'd love to share, but between having two jobs on top of photography-- it just isn't easy.

A few days ago I saw Ben Folds and it was amazing. I took the most incredible photos.
I will be uploading soon enough. Keep your boots on.

blahhhhhhove

My BRAND partner account is
It is soley film photography, primarily 120 medium format film on my HOLGA.

Feel free to watch my other account.

I want to keep my digital and film photography separate, as they are two different worlds.

I've been busy taking care of this fashion shoot stuff. It's not my style, but I was satisfied with most of the photos.

Joseph Niepce was born on 7 March 1765 in Chalon-sur-Saône, France. He created the first permanent photograph, of the exterior of his home, around 1826. The photograph was made using a camera obscura and a sheet of pewter coated with bitumen of Judea, an asphalt that when exposed to light, hardened permanently. This first photograph was captured during an eight hour exposure, taking so much time that the sun passed overhead and thus illuminating both sides of the courtyard.

Niepce did not have a steady enough hand to trace the inverted images created by the camera obscura, as was popular in his day, so he looked for a way to capture an image permanently. He experimented with lithography, which led him in his attempt to take a photograph using a camera obscura. Niéce also experimented with silver chloride, which hardens when exposed to light, but eventually looked to the bitumen, which he used in his first successful attempt at capturing nature photographically. He dissolved the bitumen in lavender oil, a solvent often used in varnishes, and coated the sheet of pewter with this light capturing mixture, he placed the sheet inside a camera obscura to capture the picture, and eight hours later removed it and washed it with lavender oil to remove the unexposed bitumen.

He began experimenting to set optical images in 1793. Some of his early experiments made images, but they faded very fast. It was said that he made the first long lasting images in 1824. The earliest known example of a Niepce photograph (or any other photograph) was created in June or July of 1827 or 1826, according to some information. Niepce called his process heliography, which literally means "sun writing".

Starting in 1829 he began collaborating on improved photographic processes with Louis Daguerre, and together they developed the physautotype, a process that used lavender oil. The partnership lasted until Niepce’s death in 1833. At this point Daguerre continued with experimentation, and in 1839 revealed to the public his new process for taking pictures, which he called the Daguerreotype, after himself, and for a good many years Niepce received no credit for what was essentially his invention. Niepce’s son eventually fought for and won his father's right to be credited for this invention, but Niepce’s name was never as well known as was Daguerre’s.

In 2002, an earlier remaining photograph which had been taken by Niepce was found in a French photograph collection. The photograph was found to been taken in 1825, and it was an image of an engraving of a young boy leading a horse into a stable. The photograph itself later sold for 450,000 euros at an auction.

He's pretty much the funniest man alive besides a few.

Here are a few of my old photos that I'd like to bring to surface:



and for the (drum roll, please) Daily Deviations!

I searched through some profiles that don't have a lot of views and I thought they deserved more credit.







OK then.. off to eat some banana nut loaf.
