Welcome to my blog.
I’ve been sitting here staring at my computer monitor trying to come up with something intelligent to write about myself. If you’ve never done it, you should try. It’s hard. Not that I don’t have anything to say, but if you scan the internet, it seems every photographer on the planet talks about their dedication to capturing the moment, blah, blah, blah. I definitely don’t want to come off as unoriginal, or a mold of mainstream thought. YUK! I am a passionate person who enjoys a few things that are very important to me. First, I am passionate about my wife and 3 children. Nothing is more important to me than my family and our lives together. Second, I am passionate about my life. I enjoy living life and trying to be open to what life has to offer. We only go around once, so I make it all it can be. Third, I am passionate about my work. Admittedly, it took me a while to get used to the notion of photographing people. I started out shooting things that didn’t move or talk. In some ways, it is easier. But, over time, I realized that people are so much more interesting than inanimate objects. It’s the fact that people talk and move that make them interesting. And, what’s more interesting is that no two people talk and move the same way. So, it’s forever a pursuit of how to engage with a particular subject. Yes, you are my subjects, mowwwhhhhaaaaa!
For other stuff about myself:
my favorite color is green,
according to some people, i love peanut butter a little too much, but i think i like it just right,
pinot noir is my favorite wine (we affectionately call it Black Peanut),
if i could get paid in wine and peanut butter, i would,
i love the beach, therefore, i live at it,
i like big dogs, therefore have two of them,
i like to surf (long boards rule!),
i dig music, and play the guitar when i have time,
i love to cook.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work. Feel free to cruise around my blog, and let me know if you have any questions about anything at all.
Cheers,
Jerry
