So on Easter someone broke into my car, while i was in it and stole the Canon 7D camera that i rented from school. it sounds far more dangerous than it really was; there was no violence involved.
Unfortunately i have to replace the camera to the photo equipment, which will cost 2.5k. FML!
‘i don’t have the money’ is more than an understatement. The cops are sitting on their butts not doing anything, every time i call they tell me how there was a robbery, stabbing, or some other issue more perplexing than a stolen camera. Fortunately a few people from FiT mentioned a site called indiegogo.com that helps with fundraising campaigns, so here i am asking for your help.
After you watch the video, visit Help Continue My Dream to learn ways to help, whether by being a contributor or campaigner. anything helps, the more people who know the better.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks indiegogo.com/Help-Continue-My-Dream?c=home

Vote for my friend, Loreal Prystaj, she’s in a self-portrait photography contest. She’s a fine art nude photographer, who I go to school with, and her work is beautiful with a modern perspective.
Check out her work, and do her that solid by voting for it (VOTE HERE). You can vote everyday until mid-April i think.

Marc Hom
I like celebrity portrait photographers like Mark Seliger, but I’ve fallen in love with another Marc, Marc Hom. He’s a portrait photographer, particularly of celebrities, who captures a very natural element in his subjects and has a clean aesthetic in his images. I want my work to gain this feel, i’m officially inspired!
Thanks to the 500photographers.com blog, for highlighting Marc Hom’s work!

11 JanFree People catalog is out!
I’m always excited when the newest Free People catalog comes out. I love their clothes, their styling is usually noteworthy, and the photography without fail is always remarkable. For their catalogs, the people over at Free People go out of their way to make it magical (yes i said magical lol); for the January catalog they found the magic on the streets of Paris. They also had photographer, Guy Aroch behind the lens. His work is stunning; he has an innate ability of capturing beautiful passing moments; and most of his work uses an interesting contrast of desaturated and overly vibrant tones. I posted some of my favorites images from the spread, but there are plenty more in the January Free People Catalog. I’m eyeing the Sunburst Maxi Dress for the summer!
Check out the clothes and the catalog promo video, i believe Guy Aroch did the video as well, i’m not sure. What I do know is I need to spend the summer in Paris!

Angels with Dirty Faces is a shoot I assisted photographer, Jason Mickle on a few months ago. In their rawest form, all the images were absolutely stunning; I learned so much about lighting and building sets from that shoot. Above are a few excerpts from the spread, for the whole thing visit Fiasco Magazine‘s online mag, and scroll over to page 114, if you look closely you can see I got my name listed; go me!

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
