A thought when listening to some hip hop music and looking through my photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I strive to make a visual soundtrack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

My photos are a reflection of me. My photos are imbued with my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The beauty of grit and grain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To me, it seems that gritty and dark photos are more beautiful. Why? Perhaps there is more beauty in life via the raw, the tragic, and the difficult. The beauty of tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems the goal of photography and art is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you to master your own personal aesthetics– for you to continually develop your artistic vision, taste, and to create your own visual culture for yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Never stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Never stop reviewing your old photos. Never stop collaging<\/a> your photos, never stop thinking about photography, never stop thinking about art, and never stop thinking about elevating yourself to the next level as a photographer-artist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
