I have to accept the fact that my people will move on. No matter how good they are at what they do for the studio, how impressive the overall result, and how cool we are as a team, these young, creative, talented individuals will move on. Even though it creates a void it makes for interesting uncertainties. I like a challenge!

Well, who wants to stay in one place too long anyway? When I graduated with a degree in Mass Comm / Sociology I of course regarded a camera as a quaint, rather mechanical object (oh look, the manual only has 23 pages, how enlightening!) I've since decided - and you can quote me on this - in my next life, I really want to be a photographer again.

So people should move on.

At first I was devasted by such potential departures (holy crap, man over board, we can't go on!) but now I'm beginning to see a huge benefit to all this. The studio is continuously to be in a state of flux. What changes are the eyes and hands of those individuals operating a camera. That's very interesting to me. As someone who wants to be on the cutting edge of creativity and innovation, what better environment for me than this sea of change. New minds give me new opportunities, forces me to train my people and to retrain myself and brings potentially new ideas and methods to the mix of how we do our "thing."

The point of this entry (if you're still reading, congrats) is to give you the heads up of a possible opening at jtography. If you are interested in shooting stills, videos, editing... If you have half an idea about what a camera is (quaint, mechanical box, remember?)... If you are interested in learning how to tell stories the way we do in an intensive training/working environment contact me directly now.
