I was giving my first camera at the age of 9. I've been shooting ever since. Many photographer like to boast about the organizations in which they belong( rather paid to join) and the amount of money their equipment costs. I'm not going to do that. Frankly, none of it matters. Great photographers take great pictures. Crappy photographers get lucky every now and then but mostly produce crap. It doesn't matter if the camera costs $300 or $3000. I'm not in it for the money. Don't get me wrong I'm not cheap either. I only take the jobs I want to take. I don't do photo sessions just to pay the bills. That what a so called "professional" would do. I'm an artist not a professional. If you want a professional go to Wal Mart. If you want to invest in your family's precious moments keep reading. If I won the lottery tomorrow I would still be doing this. Its my passion. My calling. I carry a camera of some sort at all times. I shoot for fun because I enjoy what I do. I could use this space listing achievements and clientele. But will that mean I will capture your special moments? I'm a self taught photographer/graphic designer. Totally unconventional! I break the so called "rules" of photography to capture special moments thus creating art. No two of my sessions are alike. I take pictures of individuals not clones. I capture your personality, your essence. your magic. I've done photo shoots in phone booths. My style is that I have no style. No limitations save for yours and my imagination. A photo session shouldn't be a business transaction. Rather a creative collaboration. I don't invest in equipment or time for business cents. I do what I do for artistic sense. Does that make sense? I look forward to discussing our future collaborations. Feel free to browse my site and contact me with your questions.\ \ \ \ SAVE POLAROID! SAVE THE WORLD!!!\ \ VanJ
