Currently shooting mostly editorial/journalism stuff for automotive and travel magazines both print and web. Working on doing more with it. Very interested in collaborating with fashion designers, prop builders and models.
I'm semi-pro. It doesn't pay the bills, but it does make some money. I'm based out of Minneapolis, MN. Generally I do portraits for musicians, writers, and artists, but I do a lot of other shots too. inktea at gmail dot com. Here are images of some of last year's gigs:
(Photograph by me, the rest of the cover art by Scott Raleigh.)
Electronic/Glitch/Loop musician, Caly McMorrow.
Slam poets Rhe, and Sierra DeMulder, for their Talk Ugly To Me tour. (I also did the stage makeup for this one. The poets posted images from this series online, and got concerned phonecalls and emails.)
Dedicated Am working with Pro Equipment.- I am always lookin' for ways in on being more pro. Trying to get into Stock and Book Covers actually. I also need to get into the habit of having on my body - Releases.. Model and Place/Item. ya know.. all legal like.
I'm in the middle of getting my flickr Haus all settled up and organized. Weeding out the snap shots from the ones I'd like to show off.
this is me on the slightly defunct JPG Magazine They've gone the way of the Dodo.. but might have a buyer out there.
I'm an Am film photographer, living in Seattle, WA that takes photos of people on the street and in bars. Usually working with high speed B&W film. Working on making my first photobook.
Is pro/am when each time you get paid you blow it all in a frenzy at the laundromat?
Umm... I'm in the middle of reducing the number of sites of have, and then reorganising from there. Three places I'll be keeping that will be good to watch me at are ...
3. For The Love Of Montreal (my city blog from which all of the images automatically crosspost to the above mentioned impetuousheadlongrush tumblr)
Bonus: I still have some pretty photos I took in China up on vphoto.ca that you are of course deeply welcome to look at. I'll be keeping that site as well but will be heavily working it over and adding new things as time permits.
I like humans and architecture and pretty little bugs.
I've worked for several Portrait studios, but do "artistic" photogragphy in my spare time.I'll admit I do portraits berst, but love landscape shots....
(These were a few of the pictures I had on photobucket- had to wipe my computer so I dont have any on here any more. Thank God I backed them all up.)
i get paid to shoot (when i'm not working on my own art) but i don't think i've made that leap to "pro" yet (probably because, when i do get paid, it's not a lot of money LoL)

if you have any spare pocket change you can buy my first photobook; "Look Well To This Day"
I'm rather shit at introducing myself and noticing the creation of this thread is what motivated me to finally register, so I thought I'd go ahead and make my first post here. Mostly I just love to take pictures, so I guess it is just a wishful-thinking hobby. I own two point-and-shoot digital cameras that are wonderful enough for me. I do have a flickr here.
Dedicated amateur here, looking to turn semi-pro over the next twelve months.
Most of my stuff is on my Flickr stream and my blog.
Here are some of my favourites:
I call this "The Tranquility of Solitude." It was a lucky snap, shot from the hip almost.
A group of my friends and colleagues, taken at a gig we played in Prague (I play bass, but not in this shot).
I love shooting urban decay, and I'm trying to get permission from my local council to shoot in some of the derelict buildings along the waterfront. This was taken in an abandoned retirement home, and is part of a set that can be found here.
I'd call myself a passionate amateur. I got it in my blood, lack in funds. When my dad's Nikon manual gets passed onto me, that'll change that. But I also long for a decent digital camera. I prefer b&w over anything else, but colour certainly has its applications.
I like to take a picture of anything that catches my eye. Yes, that's a cheap answer, but no less true:
Cats:
Works of art:
Wild-life:
The Rapture:
Sentries:
Magick:
But my favourite of all time is this one (for Dad):
I'm shining_lion on flickr, but it's such a mish-mash of stuff until I can upgrade it to get more sets, etc., that it's not much to look at. But it's there if you'd like.
Great work everyone! Last night while canvassing, I was in the home of a couple. While she was getting her checkbook, I noticed a painting. No, not a painting--a picture she took one morning in Tuscany. I just about died. It was so lush, with the mountains and the water and dark green trees. She had a nice eye for pictures.
