I'm a semi-professional photographer looking to meet others who share a passion for photography and art in general. Also seeking potential models for TFP/CD work. If interested, please message me.
About me: I'm a part-time photographer and musician, and full-time ignoramus. I also work at Pier 1 in Columbia.
As far as my photography goes, I do a bit of everything. My work includes, but is not limited to, landscapes & nature, urban & rural, architecture & monuments, flora & fauna, portraiture, and nudes. I've done some freelance work, and am currently a contributing photographer, for "What's Up, Annapolis?" magazine. I also have the occasional, local exhibit.
On the musical side, I have a one-man metal project, Lupine Moon, and am currently working on another solo, blues/rock-based effort, simply known as The Jim O'Connor Project. I'll post any news of upcoming exhibits or published works here. You can check out my official site at www.jocphotography.com.
If you like what you see/hear, drop me a line. Comments are always appreciated.
Lewis Black on Republicans and Democrats and just how inane the two-party system is. As Americans, we would never settle for only two choices in any other circumstance. Just take a look down the cereal aisle next time you're in the grocery store and you'll see what I mean. What if there were only two kinds of cars to choose from? It'd never fucking happen! We wouldn't tolerate it. So why do we tolerate it when choosing our leader?
Me being interviewed by Mr. Steve Gustafson (don't ask why). You'll have to turn your sound WAY up for this one, as we were operating on a very low budget and the quality is pretty poor. Still, it was a lot of fun. Enjoy!
I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began. I've nurtured every sensation man's been inspired to have. I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him. Why? Because I never rejected him. In spite of all his imperfections, I'm a fan of man! I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.
Is that pier one in the background? How'd you get permission for that? Well just wanted to say hello, and see how you were doing? Everyone is on Youtube now, I guess I need to join the band wagon. What could I do? hmmmmm....lol! well ttyl
We haven't played out in like two years, but we finally decided to set up a Dual CD release show with Brave at Jammin Java on October 18th. That is in Vienna, VA though! It would be great if you could make it.
