About me
It has recently been brought to my attention that there are a few people out there who think that I have been talking shit about a particular local photog and that people think that I do not like this photog as well.... And if a handfull of people think this way then I am sure there are a hell of a lot more who do to...

I'd like to take some time and clear the air... NO I do not have a problem with this person at all... PERIOD POINT BLANK...

As a matter of fact I have wanted to meet this person and collab with them for some time now (about a year and a half)... However, I have been hesitant to collab with other photogs after several bad experinces, and rumors...

I know you must be wondering how or why people think that I do not like this particular photog... Well as many of you prolly know I do not have a problem speaking my mind or expressing myself... Well on several occasions I have been asked my opinion on photos that this photog has taken (   ) Mostly bc this is a small industry and at some time or another we all (photogs) end up shooting the same models... And I have  been asked to give  my opinion on their work... Which was that I think certain aspects of their work could be better for example editing, lighting, photo exposure or whateva the case was for that particular photo...

I am just very critical when it comes to critiquing photos... If you don't think so take a look at my port I don't even have 10 images posted and I have shot hundreds of models and have tons of images...

However, I also gave praise to this photog when he did something that I liked or thought they did well.. For example their was one particular shot which I felt couldn't have been done better if ( La Chapelle ) shot it himself... I bring up this photo bc it is a model that the two of us both shot.. I even told the model that I was JEALOUS bc it came out so well and I didn't shoot it...

Another reason people may think that I do not like this photog or their work is bc people have asked me to compare myself to this photog... And of course I or any other competitor is going to say that they are better at what they do than someone else.. For example do you think that Kobe, LeBron, D Wade or Carmelo think that they aren't the best player in the league... C'mon...

The one thing I have learned in life is that no matter how long we have been doing something there is always someone, better, trying to take your spot, and someone we can learn something from no matter what the other persons experince level is...

YES this is my formal apology and explination ...With this being said I would like to sit down with you photog to photog have some drinks, answer any questions you may or may not have.. And more importantly collab with you on a shoot or project..

ANNOUNCEMENT: As of Dec 2009 I will be retiring..Between now and then my goals are simple to work with everyone I have contacted in the last year and to take on as many paid assignments as possible..

            **BOOKING FOR JAN & FEB '09'!!**

Hey man,
Long time no speak.. sucks to hear you're retiring, but remember you're life is only as drama filled as you make it..

Don't let the bullshit get to you.. just shoot for yourself and enjoy what you do..

Living in Philly now so lemme know if you're ever around man..

Sorry to see you're getting out. I tried for about a year but like Michael Corleone says in 'Godfather 3,' "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!"

Much success to you in your current and future endeavors... :-)
