If I had one wish, it would be that everyone could see the world as a child again. Every moment, every sight, every interaction a new adventure. Each experience untainted with prejudice, apprehension, and apathy. Everyone would approach life with the curiosity and joy of discovery we have all long forgotten. That kind of world would truly be one I would want to live in.
Everywhere I look I see reflections and distortions. If my world is not filled with color, it is filled with contrast. There's never a dull way to see things in this world I live in. The day I decided to pick up a camera was not just a personal journey to see the world differently. It became a quest to tear a few others out of the drab, boring rhythm of daily life along with me. I am here to show you what I've done to make my life worth living, using the tool that has saved me from my depression; my camera. My photography, above all else, is about living.

Who I'd like to meet:
You! Friend me, add me on Facebook, or find me on Deviantart. or ask for my AIM username. Don't be shy! I love meeting new people and learning how to see the world a little differently.
If you have any you've taken, e-mail me at Thekrillsta@gmail.com and I'll put them up!
Live music is my escape. Somewhere between the sweat dripping into my eyes and the camera full of photographs, I feel alive. It's in those moments when the bass is pounding and the sound is vibrating through my body where I am truly happy. Those are the moments that I live for. For lots of kids out there, music becomes a similar escape. A wise musician once told me that what kind of music you love does not matter, what matters is that we all love music. I firmly believe that the love of music can bring us all together. Join me by supporting your local bands, and going to underground shows. It's the basements and back yards where the magic takes flight!

Hey guys, just a quick reminder about the shows we have coming up,
Can you believe it's November already?! Next week, November 13th, The Dangerous Summer, Mercy Mercedes, Between The Trees, Single File & The Goodnight Anthem all return on The AbsolutePunk.net Fall Tour! Then the following week, on the 21st, is the first of many $5 all local shows. These will be on the weekends so everyone can come and be cheap so everyone can afford them. The reason for these is, i feel like there is a pretty big lack of unity within our music scene lately. I remember the days of $5 shows, when i first started going to shows. Everyone was singing the words to every one of the local bands songs, free burnt cds so you could learn those words, bbq's, cd swaps, pickup games of whatever sport was around, and a most importantly a sense of unity. This is as cheap as they are gonna get people, so come to a show! Lastly we have Vanna, Therefore I Am & A Loss For Words coming through on December 1st on the This Is New England Tour! More local shows are in the works as well as the annual holiday show. New tours for early next year too, don't blink!
