Presentation

OMG the thought of standing in front of 70 people and talking is a very scary thought. I know in the scheme of life there are much scarier scenarios to endure but I can't think of what they are at the moment. Maybe I can hire a speaker like Chris Ryan. He is phenomenal! Public speaking is my nemesis!!!!!!!!

External hard drive

Well it finally happened to me my hard drive is acting up and I don't know if it can be fixed. Luckily I was able to copy the images on my large hard drive but still I want to be able to copy the images onto another small hard drive.  We'll see if that happens if I can figure out how to set up the small hard drive. Technology is my nemesis.

On a lighter note I found another book I'd like to buy, Appalachian portraits by Shelby Lee Adams.

Photographing Elders

Having fun photographing elders. I find them quite cooperative and even playful at times. What I am also finding out that its not always good to have their children around when I photograph them. They can be intrusive without even realizing it. If possible I'm going to try and photograph my subjects without their family being around to "protect" or distract them.

Drag Show

Had fun photographing at Lindenwood's drag show a couple of months ago. Even thought of doing drag shows for my book but decided to go with my elder project.

    All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.
    My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.
    Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me. My concern is... the human predicament; only what I consider the human predicament may simply be my own.
