Benjamin Lowy - Photographer

"The paradigm for photographers today, is that you just can't be, you have to be a sort of jack-of-all-trades. You can't just specialize anymore; in just conflict, fashion, babies, whatever. You have to be be able to do all of it. You have to bring your style and vision to every aspect of it. If you can shoot in the high stress of a war zone, then you can shoot in the high stress of a fashion show."

the cookie was stale.

5.7 to get rich

i forgot that i had a blog.
yikes.
i've been spending way too much time talking to people on flickr, trolling the aisles of ebay looking for vintage cameras and film, watching the $$ fly out of the wallet at photo labs and not bringing anything in. top ramen and pb&j sandwiches will only get you so far before all you have left is rice and eggs (which is not too bad actually. a little soy sauce...mmmmm).i think i need to sell some prints. maybe open up an etsy site. or stand on the corner taking polaroid portraits for $5 a pop. that would be fun. maybe troll the club scene downtown looking for drunk frat and sorority kids. that's perfect.

i've got 5.7 more years to get rich. boom.

Recession Sandwich

Today it is Peanut Butter and Jelly for lunch. I fondly call it my "Recession Sandwich". It's a tasty bit of Americana that I thoroughly enjoy. Crunchy Adams Peanut Butter with Blackberry Preserves on whole wheat bread with pockets of honey baked right in. Sometimes I use strawberry or marmalade too. mmmmm...marmalade. "In this economy" (I'm actually really tired of hearing that phrase) it sure beats going out and spending $7 for lunch everyday. Though I guess peanuts are still killing people. So it's either the recession or the peanuts that will get me in the end...crap.
