1.chick with big black camera. (this does not mean i’m a terrorist or nasty letcher btw)

*

FIRSTLY - if you want to hire me as your FT, overpaid, personal photographer to document your random trips to Europe or anywhere else that isn’t lame - immediately contact me »> here «<.  seriously.  (what are you waiting for?!??!  i take great pictures.  i should be there to take yours.  in rome.  in spain.  in berlin.  in prague…)

who am i?

i’ve been into photography for a little while - about 6 years now with a real SLR.  prior to the SLR, (around 2002-2003) i was shooting stuff with a little 35mm minolta and a kodak digital brick also known as a point and shoot. 

i’ve taken no classes for photography.  i’m self taught completely through trial and lots of errors. i’ve read books, surfed the interwebs, read tutorials, and just experimented.

*

services?

 am i for hire for smaller gigs?  sure.  i shoot documentaries, cars, food, people, kids, animals, artwork, blah blah blah… i’m running out of fresh subjects, so contact me and let me know what your project/idea is and we’ll work something out.

do i shoot weddings?  depends.

is it a cool, small, untraditional, fun wedding in an unusual place for your gig?  

then yes. 

is it 200+ people, traditional, stuck in a stuffy church, and take all freckin day? 

then no.

what do i charge for weddings?  

$1,000,000.00

why a million bucks?  because anyone that photographed a wedding knows how crazy and hectic and stressful it can be.  i dont like stress.  call me a jerk if you want, but if i had to shoot a wedding, then that gig better be something extremely unique. 

the $1,000,000 price is negotiable only if the wedding’s criteria meets 2 of the 3 below requirements.

* max party size of 20-30 people 

* takes place in a tropical environment near the equator 

*a fully decked out Elvis with pork chops must conduct ceremony or be present

if you’re looking for a good traditional photographer - feel free to ask.  i know some great photographers i could kick you to.  if you insist on me though, feel free to ask for sample work.

*

do i license images for commercial stuff?

uh-huh.  (that would be a yes)  if you’re interested in using something i have, feel free to ask.
