I am sarcastic, motivated, and me.

My Self-Summary

I'm a student at the Columbus College of Art and Design studying photography. I also paint.

I'm rather interested in a large variety of photography, from fine art to landscape to commercial to fashion. I work in both film and digital

As far as painting goes, I will paint what is in front of me, but I prefer landscape. my favorite landscape painters are george inness and whistler. I also really like corot and Alex Kanevsky. Andrew Wyeth was great too.

I like folk and blues music, coffee, conversation, vintage, philosophy, and more.

i like nature, camping, and primitive living interests me. When I go camping I try to bring as little gear as possible and I prefer to walk into the woods rather than a 'campground'

I enjoy the readings of Thoreau and Emerson and the things they had to say about sustainability.
"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone."

"Talk of mysteries! — Think of our life in nature, — daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, — rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?"

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader" - Robert Frost

I like making films and learning about cameras. I currently intern for a company as a video editor. I love it.

I also like redheads. Don't know why. Just do.

I have a strong interest in people who are self-motivated, who are determined and impassioned by the things that they love. There are few things more refreshing in life than to see one talk about something that they love. People who have a strong self constitution have always stuck out in my mind. Your morals are yours, but the more that you can stand by them, the more weight they hold.

I love being around people who love music, art, literature, and other such things. Their lives tend to be very refreshing to hear about.

What I’m doing with my life

Going to school, working, interning, making art, making music. loving it.

I’m really good at

I hope I'm good at: photography, painting, drawing, music making (guitar, banjo, harmonica), talking, listening.

The first things people usually notice about me

I've heard that people notice quickly that when I talk about things, they can tell I am passionate about my opinions and such.

Films: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Legends of the Fall, All the Real Girls, Chunking Express, George Washington, Lost In Translation

Musicians I like (for a more specific view of my taste): Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, John Fahey, Credence Clearwater Revival, Black Keys, Dan Auerbach, Iron and Wine, M. Ward, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, The Clash, Radiohead, Helios, Mogwai

food: sushi

4. nature
5. free thought
6. music

I spend a lot of time thinking about

philosophy, existentialism, art, films, photographers. Literature, poetry.

On a typical Friday night I am

hanging out with a friend maybe? photographing? it depends really.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm not a sleaze.

You should message me if

You like folk, blues, art, music, nature, transcendentalism, nature, sustainability, or anything else worth hearing.

If you are passionate about something
If you like getting coffee and talking late into the evening/morning

I'm an open book, so let's talk.
