I'm gonna cry, cry, cry...

I feel like a combination of these three. I want to lay in bed and cry cry cry.

Let's all hire flickr photographers!

I am always looking at photography and I can't remember a time when I have been so disappointed with what I have been seeing... until today.

I have been working on the business side of my photography (ie. www.heathercurielweddings.com) and looking at a lot of "photographer" websites. Most of them have decent sites, contact info, cool things, but in the end lots of bad photography. I will admit to being a photography snob, but damn isn't that what all photographers should be. I feel like people are so uber obsessed with promoting their work and making money that most people are not so concerned with making each photo absolutely beautiful.
Maybe that's why Steichen, Man Ray, Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron all have absolutely stunning work-- they didn't have to focus on all the business bs that photographer's today have to think about. They simply made absolutely stunning photos and actively went out to find really beautiful people to photograph.
Today I decided to search around on flickr and there it is, really beautiful photography. Why in the world aren't these people posting ads on craigslist all the time? Answer: because they are too busy making amazing pictures for arts sake. It all makes sense.

So I have decided to dedicate myself to making photos for the purpose of making really beautiful images.

Happy 2009! Just checked out the website of some of my favorite photographers Anoush and Aimee and they are still keepin it real. I like their work for a few reasons
1)It is simple and consistent. They aren't overly ambitious and execute their shoots every time.
2) They love Guy Bourdin and anyone who loves him automatically makes me love them.
3) They make videos of their shoots and post them online. Kind of like a behind the scenes meets music video. And I love music videos. Well done.

I like this kind of work because it shows that there are plenty of assignments to go around if you have the passion for your photography. You don't have to be Avedon, you have to love what you do. I am also guessing that they are fun to be around, people loooove this. Hooray for being great and loving photography. ♥
this first video made me fall in love with them.
