I used to be a party photographer
with my own website on the internet
filled with pictures of culture
and youth and fun and love and relevant bands
But then 2k8 ended
and I had 2 grow up
My hair went grey/fell out
and the youth which I documented
grew up and/or died
It was time to make a choice
did I want 2 work at Arby's/Chili's?
or did I want 2 put my dSLR skills to work?
After Obama I watched Obama launch his new website/get inaugurated
the choice was an obvious one
I decided to spend my life documenting
more important things
like politics
& nature
& 'historical events'
& relevant celebrities (not paparazzi stuff, tho)
I want to be
more than just a bro
taking pix of me/people who look like me
with my hi-end camera

I will spend the rest of my life
taking meaningful photos
that are more than just 'blogworthy'
I want them to go in the textbooks
that are issued to my children
and my children's children.
I will invest money
in technology and travel
to be at the most relevant events
freelancing
and finding my photos in relevant periodicals (not on the web/a flickr account)
Yesterday, I took this picture.

This picture may or may not be a metaphor.
I also took this picture

I have grown up.
Grown as a photographer
beyond taking pictures in dimly lit clubs
of an alternative population
who show off their tattos & tits
I started 2 capture LIFE
through my lens
because there's more 2 life
than electroBloghaus parties
and meaningful band photography.
I am photography.
I am in touch with humanity.
I am documenting humanity.
I am PhotoBro 3.0.

I can't believe you have a Domino's ad on yr blog these days.
@Kaff, it's like so 'ironic' like alts that pretend they don't eat tacobell,
@anony, yea, t-bell. the best place to slip out of "vegetarianism."
How old is too old to be taking party pix?
@Marnie, 14
@Marnie, your dead at 30
@Marnie, if you're playing your cards right, you won't need to have any new partying experiences within one year of your college graduation.
Post more alt butts: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2009/01/i-think-im-growing-out-of-partying....
Can you stop with the shitty poetry and go back to making fun of some 17 year old gay kid on Lookbook? Thanks.
@Rich, best comment ever thx
@john@primitivemachin, kina like carles 2k9
2k9 is all about Barack shots.
God Almighty in Heaven Above, I hope to hell Cobrasnake reads this shit and actually questions his relevance a little. Whenever I'm out and see these culture-capturers I laugh and they know exactly why, as they feel the shame creep up on their gaunt, hipstered faces.
@Matthew,
i doubt the cobrasnake gives a shit. he's probably laughing all the way to the bank at this and all the retarded people he photographs.

miss u
I have always wondered if this thing is a satire
and today I think it is
I loved this post
because there is a damaged world out there
and life does not revolve around Ray Bans and getting all crunk nasty in an 'alt' way at some hot spot 'alt' nejburhudd
whatever about this, party photogs are just kids who grew from their LJ accounts to their FLICKR sites and then went to art school. there's nothing left to learn in nip-slips anymore, that's why I am staying in with literature and LSD.
maybe after a few months of tripping I'll get back to you and apologize for not updating in a while, "stuff's been buzy."
good notice, nice blog.
fggt on left is obv self-conscious abt his small penis. futile effort with cam accessory.
