  I used to get covers and was all city. Saw my work in the paper and every news stand. Didn’t matter… I gave up on it a long time ago. Most slobs just want porn, piggy slop and you know what I don’t care anymore. Shoot your own damn photos, fix your own 8000 bicycle and fix your own damn car. Fucking twats I hope this slob ass nation is nuked into oblivion. and I mean that.

    I just shoot the art that I wanna shoot. I like my works, I’m real damn proud of them. I wanna show them to as many people as I can, to get in galleries, to have my work be seen, to make my mark on this world.

    I’m not a laborer with my camera. I don’t shoot food for packaging, I don’t get ninety seconds with an NBA star, I’m not on NatGeo.

    I’ve made a grand total of $300 from this gig cause I sold a canvas and a few prints, and I sold a shit ton of magic cards to get the camera to begin with.

    I guess what I’m saying is, I’m not gonna be some jaded old hack like the dude I replied to up there. I do this simply for the love.

    And for what it’s worth, your words have a good weight. :)
