Blog About Photography

I hung out with Johnny Misheff last night after the Ryan McGin­ley thing. Real cool guy.

from post­cards­fromy­omama via my friend Annie who sent this to me accom­pa­nied with the note “SOUNDS LIKE YOU!”:

And how are you today? I have a ques­tion for you. . Dad wanted me to ask you about the blog boy you know in DC. How does he make money writ­ing a blog? Dad would like to do this too and wants to know how. Your friend has a job doing it so maybe he knows. Does he make a lot of money? It sounded like he did, if he has his own apartment!

Dad’s tired of work­ing at Schwab

I don’t think any­body should be quit­ting their day jobs. Unless your day job is blog­ging. In that case, quit that shit.

Gothamist pub­lisher Jake Dobkin totally nailed it in a Tweet he sent out just a moment ago.

I think that’s pretty much sums it up.

You guys who’ve been read­ing this blog since the begin­ning know that I’m look­ing to go to grad school. I’m late to the game on this but last week US News and World Report ranked the top pho­tog­ra­phy MFA pro­grams. Omg and Colum­bia isn’t even on there. They’re like the only school that wanted me way back in the day.
