Hello, Hello!
For me, this summer has predominantly consisted of freelance photography after completing my photography maymester. Since finishing the course, I’ve taken a strong interest photography of all kinds. Aside from that I have been working for an independent wrestling federation called the North Eastern Wrestling Alliance (N.E.W.A.). My work generally consists of comprising flyers, DVD covers and several other forms of media to help promote upcoming shows and sales. Most of the work has been done in Photoshop.
Independently, over the last three months, I have embarked on a spiritual journey which has led me into practices of the Native American culture. I have read several books by a man named Tom Brown Jr. Tom Brown Jr. is a tracker and a wilderness awareness expert. His teachings have become an inspiration to me and I feel that much of what I have learned from him will be incorporated into my work this upcoming semester. Going along with this, I have participated in my first ceremonial sauna or “sweat lodge” which has also been a tremendous learning experience. At the very least, I believe that my experiences will contribute to the amount of focus that is exerted into all of my future projects.
Anyway, It looks as though I am among some pretty amazing classmates! I’m looking forward to meeting all of you.

First and foremost: Tom Brown is pretty farkin' amazing! My girlfriend is fairly obsessed with him and recently purchased a book of his regarding outdoor survival. I'm pretty sure the next time we go camping, she'll stick some reeds behind my ears and make me act as a duck-blind!
Too bad you didn't come on our camping trip to Algonquin :) It seems like it would be right up your alley.
Secondly- photography is pretty great too :) That's neat that you get to work with a wrestling federation... do they practice MMA style combat, or is it WWF type trickery?
Look forward to seeing you in class!
