Style Weekly: "the politics of fear and a growing racial divide still cripple Richmond [Virginia]." Mayor Douglas Wilder: "a cesspool of corruption and inefficiency." Ninth most dangerous city in the US. The state claims that "Virginia is for lovers" but the General Assembly passed a law "which some contend is the most anti-gay legislation in the country." (Style Weekly) And don't get me started on Henhicko County, Native American for "land of the hicks." Now at www.richmondsucks.com.

Prinicipia Photographica

There is a magic element of grit and spontaneity that cannot be staged. This is the beauty of street photography.

Artificial lighting—a simple studio light, a flash even, almost exponentially diminishes the power of the aesthetic algorithm and alchemy that work to manifest the moment when one’s intuition beholds all the elements that bedazzle and congeal: ambiance and its light, human movement, industrial design, the orgy of contemporary color and curvature; and, perhaps most importantly, the drop-jaw awe, the naïve wonder and the magic emotions and gestures painted upon a picture with the expressions of bystanders in the background.

About Me

My photo
"...the quintessential everyman, he's a little bit of everything that we're all striving for... mostly the search for the truth in our lives. From poignant notions of love to our own inescapable lascivious tendencies, from mundane to the outlandish, on that journey we face tough questions, but even tougher decisions. He'll take you on his journey and back, he won't promise you enlightenment (who can?), but you can at least be assured of a good time. Thanks..." - boyzco
