I used to post here a lot. Now I eat crackers & meet bands. [View All]

Just skip this and don't respond if you don't care.

Most of you probably have no idea who I am or what I'm doing or want to. This is for those of you who do, to whom I guess I owe an explanation of absence for (which I don't think I really do, haha). A few people were wondering what happened to me, I had several PMs I never responded to, yadda yadda. All I can tell you is that I'm alive, still in school and living in Brooklyn. As for what I've been doing with my time, I have been trying to figure out a lot of things. Those of you who know me used to hear me spew about politics a lot, and for the most part, I haven't been doing much of that lately. I also used to do a lot of politically aware writing and photography, neither of which have I been particularly been enthused with in the past year or so. Right now I am shooting lots of music and fine art photography. It seems pretty crazy to me that I ever thought of going into political journalism. I'd be chewing off my ears in DC right now.

Currently I am working at a major music television (to stress!!! ONE that is not a part of MTV Networks!!!) as a production intern on a TV show dedicated to current rock music. I get to take lots and lots of photos of people, music fans, concerts, and bands. Though I struggled with the idea that this is what I am really meant to be doing, I am totally at peace with it now because I realize the impact that music has on people, and I want to capture this in a visual medium. You don't have to be a news photographer or journalist to have your voice heard. I always thought that you did.

Take care!

ps. Some of you also know that I used to be very sick, I am doing a lot better!
pps. A new picture of me, to see how much I've grown :P
