First post :)

Hey everyone who might be reading this,
So clearly i just made a blog; my first blog, so i'm not quite sure what to write about. So i might as well start with the basics
My name is Javin (Pronounced JAY-VIN) and i love photography. I only got into it about a year ago but i already know that it's what i want to do with my life. I'm a Junior in high school so pretty soon i will start applying to art schools which I'm really excited about. I mainly like pictures of people, and in ways that are unusual. (Like the picture to the right)
Studio portraits that are straight ahead bore me and i generally try to be more creative than that.
And most of the pictures i post on here will be on my Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/javinhg/
So any comments and views are greatly appreciated.

My current project for school is a crime scenes type of thing which i started around last week. So here are a few shots for that over here. My mom thinks i should shoot something more positive. And now my step-grandma thinks im fixated on death. But i think that there is beauty in death and that it's an interesting concept.
That's why i'm shooting these pictures not because i'm a creep. I'd like to make that clear. And besides my photo teacher likes them :) And i suppose that's part of photography, not everyone is going to like your work and not everyone is going to like your ideas. But i'm okay with that, it's just part of the job ;)

Oh and in photography unrelated news, my marching band went to Micca Finals today which is a band compititon and we got a silver medal, even though we all know we deserved gold. I play the clarinet by the way, and yeah, i'll post a link to that whenever i find a video of it.
That's it for today,
going to eat soy mac and cheese and watch 30 rock with my mom. (i'm really cool obviously)
