Standing Still
Over the last few weeks I've found myself at a creative stand still. I've lost albeit temporarily my creative drive. The more I read the more depressed I get about photography. It seems as though quite a few theorists posit that photography particularly the viewer is unaware that they're being sold a bag of goods that were broken before the sale. I particularly find Susan Sontag abhorrent. She feels American photograph is predatory and that photography violates people and turns them into objects. Alas!

Mentor
I'm VERY happy to say that Jim Dow agreed to be my mentor. This is a great opportunity to have Jim as a mentor. I'm looking forward to getting started and hope to use this opportunity to grow as an artist. Photographing my family has been very difficult for me. I have strong feelings against doing such a thing. It is so hard to avoid the trite and the cute. Feedback and suggestions appreciated.
