Alright, so originally, this post was gonna discuss my experience of attending the Lady Gaga performance that was on Jimmy Kimmel Live for free a few weeks ago and how I got front row access to see the Lady upclose for free. But, I was two weeks late into updating this and I had that whole entire time to mention it. Reason being is that I've been so concentrated on my photography business and helping out my uncle shooting a ton of weddings and birthday parties that goes on for HOURS. I've been finding myself waking up at 10AM on Sunday morning at my pops' house every now and then because of how late these gigs end the day before.
Back in the first week of July, I mentioned that I'm going to launch two new websites related to photography. Currently I have three other webpages and sites under the JustForSneaks Ent. brand. Now, I know what your thinking after reading that last sentence. Y'all thought that I was 8 years old pretending to be Steve Jobs or Donald Trump taking over the United States of America Inc. or some made up corporation. Well, to be honest, my business is real and legit. Well, semi-legit for now, until I manage to obtain a business taxpayers license which is on my top priority list. I'm doing all I can just to get people to recognize my imaging skills as an art form and to have those spectators understand my way of storytelling everything I see and capture. I want people to think of my work whenever any means of photography is mentioned to them during a conversation or whenever they have trouble selecting a camera for themselves.
As y'all already know, the three webpages I created are Random Shots, Nobody Reads Anymore and my JustForSneaks Ent. website. The Random Shots blog is operated by Google's Blogger platform. This is the flagship blogpage that I've been using ever since I started this back in 2006. Its where I express my thoughts and prospectives on certain avenues in everyday lives. I also mention the stuff that I do on the weekends and sometimes during the week so that the reader can get used to me, as if they were with me whenever I mention a party I go to or a celebrity that I took a photo of. to put it on a short notice, Its just my pretty much my thoughts on today's life as well as to let out steam.
The
Nobody Reads Anymore blog is operated by Wordpress. I started it back in the beginning of this year, and its pretty much a genetic split from the Random Shots blog. Only difference is that the
Nobody Reads Anymore blog is just mostly pictures that does the writing. I use photos from photojournalists and staff photographers, as well as mine, on this blog page using one liners and at least two sentences to describe the photo. These photos include current events and stuff from my intrests: exotic luxurious cars, sexy attractive women and unknown models, some visual charts, anything having to do with the Lakers, photos I took of notable figures that I've ran into among others and a quick sneak preview of a photoshoot that I just recently did. Plus the name of the title speaks for itself, cause there are some people that rather look at photos rather than just read a lot of paragraphs. You don't even hear that many people discuss about the latest book that just came out unless if you're a stay at home forty-something single lady living in New England. You can check out the Nobody Reads Anymore page

The third current site is my photography business site. Every serious photographer cannot proceed with his interest and make financial gain without publishing a legit website showcasing his or hers portfolio and samples of work. I had many changes and different versions of my website over the years by going through different domains and website host platforms. My site contains some of my best work, a brief bio of myself, the rates for the headshots and events for those that want me to cover them and, of course my contact page which has my number and the links to my Facebook and Twitter page. You can checkout my website

Which bring me to this. On August 20th, the pages that I mentioned and currently running right now are gonna be modified a bit. There's also gonna be a new site which is mostly just strictly photography related and its something that alot of people will be able to be familir with. The last and final new site is gonna be something different. Now I personally know a lot of photographers who have their own business like myself. Only thing is that they've been doing way longer than I have and that they have more better expensive gear than me. But what I'm about to debut on the 20th is something not many of them have....yet.
For those reading this posting from my Facebook, well unfortunately, there has to be some setbacks. First off, I'm not gonna be posting anything on there or be on my Facebook profile until the 20th so that I can focus on working and editing the photos that I took last Saturday at the Primitive Three Year Anniversary Barbeque (thanks Paul, Andy, Desiree and Alexis for a fantastic Saturday afternoon at the store) I'm editing them using Adobe Lightroom, and these are the first set of photos that I will be editing using that software, which means that its gonna take some time to work on. The other thing is that about 85 to 90% of the photos currently on my Facebook will be delelted after August 20th. Reason being is that I have over 80 albums and literally a thousand pictures at least on there, so I need to make the profile a bit more cleaner. If I were you, I'd download or copy and paste whatever photos you want from my albums. Cause once they're gone, they're gone. Though, they will be on my other new website, so keep a lookout for that. I, myself don't want to get rid of the photos from Facebook, but I took a lot to think about it and decided just to remove them. Again, they will be put on my other sites to be viewed.
So yeah, I won't be on Facebook for the next nine days,. If you want to contact me for any inquires, parties or any events related to photography you want me to cover, or just to talk to me, please give me a call or a text message at 818-245-0552 or hit me up at justforsneaks07@gmail.com. You can also keep up with me on
Twitter, which is where alot of pictures and stuff I don't say on Facebook goes on. Let me know what you think of the sites and give me some feedback to improve them more better. Also, check out my other websites every now and them if you want to see my best attempt of entertaining you. If you dislike this or think that I'm handling my photography profession the improper way, well you can go somewhere else. I'm just doing my entire best to make people happy and amused cause this type of shit will take a number of years to get better at and I'm still young. You don't see too many 23 year olds managing themselves like the way I've been doing. Everyone is different.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Stay real and remember that not everyone can be trusted.
