Photography awards are lame!
The real deal is when somebody tells you they are gonna get a tattoo of one of your photos. I guess I’m the real deal.

+Nope Fun: Valerie Chiang
Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.q: You have quite a few stunning portraits, any tips when shooting people?
a: Thank you! My photographs are carefully planned out, so I usually think of the pose I want the person to be in beforehand. However, I also want them to look natural when posing, which…
Props to local NC talent Valerie Chiang! I favorited some of her work on flickr, had no idea she was from here.
acollectedgentleman said: Thanks for the follow what inspired your blog/photography what made you follow mine
My blog is simply a way I can share with people the gems I collect on my visual journey. To be honest it is inspired by the subjects themselves, and my general love for photography. I followed your blog because I like how you style yourself.
I want to shoot a pretty, sexy, hot, ultra girl today.
How I feel everyday.

be aware
be raw
be the spirit of emancipation amongst a slave culture
make originality your ghetto and your suburb
its instinct reflex a primal satellite transmitting
an anthem of revolt against the vacant mind and the idle will
be an astronaut of a clouded mind make imagination your pretty dancer
your eyes follow her around the walls of your mind
when the well runs dry run to the river
and dont forget to bring cups
others might be thirsty from a long stay at a salt convention
and they still havent figured out how to preserve predictability
be their favorite tastemaker with an herb unmatched
be cool calm down sort things out relax
improvise
