I'm Jon, and I love puppies.
I´m a smooth operator.
I have also been known to be an OG.
I'm crazy, I'm insane, and I adore photography. I play several instruments, those being the drums and bass guitar. I love to laugh and I love my friends. I love to party and have a good time, but I'm done to earth and realistic - although thats not to say I don't like to dream.
I'd love to shoot you - with my Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi).
I'm in two bands - Falling Silent - Drums
My Dear Valentine - Vocals
I run an In-House recording studio, and coined it with the name, "Bleeding Heart Recording". I also am in the process of starting a clothing company with the name most likely going to be, "Dreams Bleed Miracles (and Mircales Bleed Hope)". But some other name's I'm throwing around are "Broken Heart Clothing", "Fallen Hero Clothing", and "Dreams Bleed Clothing".
Music means alot to me - and if you don't like it I don't care. I lyrically analyze songs all the time and I love doing it. Words are important to me, and chosing the right word could be a matter of life or death. ¨People have gone to war over words.¨
Where photography has captured one half of my soul, sound engineering has gotten control over the other half. Recording bands is my other passion, and I do it well. Apple G5 is in my near future...and so is pro-tools. And I'm diggin' it.
I strive to be a good photographer, but sometimes I think I lack the motivation - which sucks because I love expression through art.
I sport 2 original clothing companies. Bleeding Star Clothing and Role Model Clothing.
If someone put a shot gun to my face and said what do you like shooting, I would say I digg Emotive Portraiture like none other. But recently I've discovered Fashion Photography, and I have shot for several girl's portfolios. And I'm really into that now. One thing I can't stand shooting is Landscape, because I always think it's going to turn out amazing and it never does. I just can't do it.
Two of my favorite things to do to photos is mess up the contrast and boost up the curves and levels. I do it all the time and I think its what makes a picture look a little bit more entrancing to the eye. I have started experimenting with desaturation however, and I do that occasionally now. I always, always, ALWAYS edit my photos with Adobe Photoshop CS2. If it's one of my finished and uploaded works, that photo has been put through Photoshop.
Another little knack of mine is that when I'm shoot portraiture, I try to leave a large amount of space on at least on side of the model. I do this because that way it seemingly brings the model to life by giving them room to move around. I've always hated shots where the model is almost trapped in the photograph. It looks disgusting a bothering to the eye.
I say ¨Can yah digg it?¨ way more than the average person, deal wth it.
