Personal Statement

A prevailing custom of my own style and personality manners the way in which I showcase my work. My passion is the state of style and uniqueness . I’m interested in how we as humans fashion LIFE through our very own sense of style. LIFE is the essence of all things, and FASHION is the socializing style I possess. Creating a sense of my own style speaks through the images in which I capture.

How do I define FASHION?? Look below...

FASH-ION (fas-uh n)

1. a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing,


2. manner; way; mode


4. the make or form of anything:


5. a kind; sort--All fashions of people make up the world.

Mark Borthwick--I had to post him!


THE fashion photographer Mark Borthwick, whose images have appeared in provocative magazines like Purple, Self Service and Italian Vogue, has always had an unorthodox approach to his work.
“I like to take the fashion out it,” he said. “And make it more human.” Which is to say, he eschews airbrushed glamour for a kind of carefree, sun-soaked innocence; not surprisingly, his new book, aptly titled “Not in Fashion,” is more akin to a journal than a glossy Rizzoli monograph.
It features photos that span his two-decade career, including early fashion shots of a baby-faced Chloƫ Sevigny (left) and Angela Lindvall (slide 3).
The pages are littered with newspaper clippings, hand-scrawled notes and family photos intentionally blown out by overexposing the film.




The Two Most Infamous Citites: I ♥ these places




Los Angeles & New York
With fashion, art, film, television, and music, and soo much more behind their belt. There's no need to find a vacation spot that brings quality entertainment.
Above are maps from a study, called “The Geography of Buzz.”
The authors, Elizabeth Currid, an assistant professor in the School of Policy, Planning and Development at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and Sarah Williams, the director of the Spatial Information Design Lab at Columbia University‘s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, mined thousands of photographs from Getty Images that chronicled flashy parties and smaller affairs on both coasts for a year, beginning in March 2006. The maps show the density of different types of cultural events in New York and Los Angeles.
I posted these photos because these are two cities of which, I look forward to residing in, they show a sense of personality and vibrancy with just colorful dots. Similarities and characteristics of which, I, Myself possess.
(Smiling....hehehe..I know I'm conceited--at least their not photos of me)
