Check it out. It's been dormant for a month or so, but we're getting back into after a meeting of the beards last night.

Thanks

New Website

Hey everyone!
For those of you who are actually reading this at this point in the game I just posted a new website.
I'm still tweaking some things but the bulk of it up, so check it out and let me know what you think. Or better yet pass it a long to your friend who's an art director at a magazine.

Thanks for checking it out!

Influences

So before I start posting my photos on here, I figured I'd show some photographers that I'm interested in/influenced by:

Galen Rowell is a photographer that was recently shown to me, and he was exactly the type of photographer that I'm aspiring to be. He was a climber and mountaineer and photographed landscapes as well as back country sports. Besides putting out a bunch of books, he was regularly published in National Geographic, and Life.

Another photographer whose work I love is Sebastião Salgado. A Brazilian photographer who photographs inorder to help. He photographs the world's poverty and people doing the real "dirty jobs" to get people to see the ugly truth, takes amazing shots of the environment to show the world what we're destroying, as well as just documenting the people of this world. All of his work(that I've seen) is black and white, extremely detailed, and the prints are absolutely amazing.

Hello

So for those of you who don't know I'm a professional photographer, or so it says on my taxes. I'm really more of a professional photographer's assistant, but I'm working on the other one. I work under the name of Good Life Photography and that's where you'll be able to see all of my latest and greatest work. I try to update my website every 2 or 3 months and right now it is dying for an update. I started this blog so that I can share inspirations, my opinion, random shots, and most importantly so that I can post comments on other people's blog!

So keep checking back, there should be some good stuff. But in the meantime you can check out another blog I'm part of, Duel of the Beards. It's something a few of my friends from college and I are doing to help keep us using our cameras every week. It may not be the greatest, but we try to keep it interesting.
