At times last year I found myself lacking in creativity. I wanted to go shoot but I didn't know what. Everything I thought about shooting was boring to me. I was shooting baseball all summer I had gotten it down to a repetitive science.
I thought about doing a photo of the day project, but still didn't solve the question of "what should I shoot"?
On a whim...I went to Twitter. I post a tweet for someone to send me a photo topic, anything. I really didn't think anyone would respond. I had posted tweets looking for people to reply and no one did. But you never know until you try. So I put out this tweet at 2 in the morning earlier this week, "need a #random #photo #topic. You tweet me a topic, I go shoot it and post it on my @photoshelter account. let's see what happens #photog"
I get up in the morning and I got one reply..."Okay, how about "air"?"

playing catch up...
With a new year, comes new inspirations and new ideas.
Last year I found myself lacking inspiration and drive. As you can see from my blog, I haven't done much posting. It's not that I wasn't doing anything I was too busy to sit down and write.
All summer I spent shooting youth baseball at Cal Ripkin's baseball camp in Aberdeen, MD for a company called Major League Photos. Had a lot of fun, met a lot of people, got to go place I wouldn't normally get to go. Like being on the field at Camden Yards.
In the fall I was interning at company called GreekYearBook. They shoot portraits for fraternities and sororities. I pretty much got to look at photos all day sent in from photographers all around the country. After my internship was done I has hired as a contract photographer. I still get shoots from them, I have one in 2 weeks in Philadelphia.
So that was 2010..on to 2011!
