Photographer? You’re god damned right I am!

Lately I’m feeling a bit vindicated. Let me explain.

The last few years of my life have been great, but marked with crapiness. Fraternity brothers betray me, no source of permanent income, stuck doing crappy odd-jobs for the past 3 years, and wondering what the fuck is going to happen.

Then comes DA. A great place to air our my talent (or lack thereof) with photography, only no one comes. No one looks at the pictures, so I absolve myself and ditch DA for my own format of displaying my work to my friends, who I know will pay some fucking attention and tell me of my strengths AND weeknesses.

Then, I come back to Deviant Art. Post a few pictures. Results are good. Who cares, not the point. I’m not here for a Daily Deviation, or top ratings; who gives a fuck about DA, I’m here for me.

Furthermore, I’m moving on and moving up. Way the fuck up. Its my last quarter at school, and then its travel, photography, and my job. Yea, you heard me right,

Apple Computer, Cupertino, CA. I start in February, after my travels. Fuck the backstabers, fuck the ken and barbies of SLO, fuck all the bullshit drama. I have my own place now, my own style, my own job, and my own friends, all of which are real people, who are more about going out and creating a worthwhile life for themselves (as am I) than they are about bitching about what Barbie is wearing today, or what Ken said at the last drunken brawl party.

Screw all the college crap, I’m out. I’m out to the tune of $XX,000 a year (censored for possible legal reasons, but believe me, its a good amount), my own apartment, and a kick ass job. What do all you Ken and Barbies have to say for yourselves? Oh, and above all that, I have talent.

Fuck it.

*** Sorry for that rant, I just needed to express my current feelings. I recently started posting a string of images with captions in a dream-like narrative form. They start from [link] and head toward newer work. I will eventually put links in the descriptions, but for now, browse from the gallery, starting at The Road Ahead and working your way toward newer images. Also, please let me know what you think of the short story so far.

Cheers!

Oh, and I don’t hate you, you have talent too. Life is good when you get off your ass and create something, anything.

Okay, I finally got the best of the best of my photography from Burning Man all editted and posted online.

Check this shit out.

Yo, I put my CVS back online finally. Check out some code that now lives on the Cal Poly SAN.

Cal Poly Sucks: I’m a graduating super-senior, with 12 units left, a full time job waiting, and I’m still last priority, with Sophomores and Juniors in front of me. What The Fuck?!

Frankie, Johnny, and Luigi’s in Mountain View has some amazing Italian cooking. Linz had an amazing spinach salad with bacon. The spinach was warm, without being covered in oil or shrinking, and the plate was cold, so they didn’t bake it. How they got everything warm is still a mystery to us — it was damn good nonetheless.

I had the most amazing Salmon pasta dish (the name escapes me currently). It was in a cream sauce, which is usually too rich for me, but this sauce was just right. I could still only finish about 1/4 of the plate, but it was damn good. Culinary Orgasm, for two!
