Living in New York : A New Beginning
So today I continue my photoblog. I went to a New Yorkers Photoblog meeting (at the Apple Store Soho ) because my friend Martin Fuchs was going to speak there about his two photoblogs and about his experiences as a photo journalist. There was a group of 5 speakers who are currently " photoblogging ," Afterward we went for drinks at "Merc Bar" where I met most of the speakers and got to talk to them a little bit. Any way I was inspired. Mainly because of the photobloggers that were like everyday people, not photographers, photojournalist, or professional or technical types. these were mostly just people who enjoy shooting photos. There was this guy named Boogie and I had seen his website before. His photos are really good, but I have to say that I was disappointed in what he had to say ( not much. ) Any how I got this feeling watching people show their work and talking about what motivates them, or why they do what they do. All the while I was asking myself why am I not shooting much these days, why did I stop blogging. I am working on getting another "photoblog" going that wont be ready for a couple of months or maybe for January but in the meantime I want to shoot and I want to blog too. So I decided to just keep my old photoblog going. Hope you people find it interesting, amusing, or something. For those that dont know my story, I returned in August from spending a year in Vienna, Austria with my wife who is from there. We got married, honeymooned in Spain and moved back here in August. Now with new eyes I look at my home. I see things from a different perspective. Although I am a New Yorker and Have lived here my whole life something has changed... I think its me? So my photoblog will be just about my life here in New York. Things that I think are interesting, funny, sad, amazing or just what every strikes me on a given day.

You have neglected to devote an entire category to my great wonderosity. Shame on you, Victor Jouvert. Imagine my great disappointment to find that your photoblog is about you, not me. I like it, despite the lack of me content.
