I'd first like to thank the burcuss, BellalleB, and IotaSorez's, who have all featured me lately in their journals!
To recap from the last entry, I gave up on trying to retrieve my previous account. It's really a shame that I had to start over, but there's nothing more I can do. I never got to go to Japanoodle Fever or the Dir en Grey concerts in Atlanta due to lack of funds. Everyone is feeling the pinch in their pockets, and it really means less concert and convention photography opportunities for me. I really need to find a career oriented job so I can stay on top of my work. Oh, and I should probably stop procrastinating.
Most of the more recent photo deviations are set photos from the indie film "The Old Winter" by John Coulter of Tunnell Mill Pictures in Bardstown, Kentucky. John is an amazing down to earth person to work with, and his cinematography skills seriously rival many of those working in Hollywood today. In John's words, " 'The Old Winter' is about a poor man living during the Depression suffering from severe physical and emotional isolation. He attempts suicide but is interrupted by a neighbor bringing him a letter from a girl (Clara) who turns out to be his daughter and that he has never met. They spend one day together and she somewhat restores his faith in himself. She then accidentally kills herself with his shotgun." I only got to spend one day on set when I went back to visit my family in Kentucky, but after the first day I really wished I could be there everyday. I've considered moving back just to work on this film with them, but I know right now it is impossible. I'm very excited to see the outcome of this film though.
Later today I will be posting another entry about my 2008 Rockstar Taste of Chaos experience along with several of the photographs.
