BIOBorn in Brooklyn, N.Y. (Yo! Vinny)
One brother, one sister.
At the age of three my parents decided to move
us all to a tiny mind numbing town in upstate
N.Y. where I became a smart ass brat, got into
tons of trouble, was thrown out of school at fifteen, got a job with Dad and drove trucks for twenty years! Until... Still being a smart ass, I lost my license drag racing, drinking beer, and telling a cop what he could do with his night stick! (he took me literally, it wasn't pretty)Anyway, I finally decided to get my act together. I took a class and recieved my GED where I was introduced to computers. I liked what I could do and decided to learn more. Eight months of applications for financial aid later I wound up in Ulster County Community College where I achieved an Associate Degree in Advertising Design and Graphics Technology... and to my suprise (and everyone's who knew me) Graduation with honors and a scholorship to New York University... Where I recieved a BS, and where I am now employed as an instructor and staff of their Multimedia lab. So now I teach a photoshop class along with co-teaching a video production class and create Educational Videos (not those kind, get your minds out the gutter) I work in all aspects of production from conception to post-production editing where I have my most fun creating graphics, intros, and special effects to incorporate into the video.
Ok, now I want everyone who reads this to e-mail me and tell me if you believe this story or not!

Another great capture of true emotion. Really on the outside, looking in.

though this one doesn't have quite as much impact as the other two, it is still a fine piece. the subject seems very separated from the outside world... with his back to the camera, i feel i couldn't reach him if i wanted... (i have attempted to use a similar construct to express a similar emotion - i think yours is better). the only criticism is the bright spot on the subject's side - my eye keeps being pulled there.

I like this.... emotionally charged.... I find that images where the subjects back is to the camera, say much. Like he is turning his back on the world, shutting himself off. Quite an emotional piece. I think this series is good.

Wow! Another great photo......I can really feel the emotion in this one. Makes me want to just walk up behind you and give you a big hug =)Again I love the shadows in this one, especially since there is a shadow cast on the wall as well. You have to do more of these, really nice series of photos =) Cris
