A picture is worth a thousand words.

I've spent my whole career writing... why didn't someone tell me that this was so much more efficient?

I like taking pictures. I think they look cool.

Maybe you do, too. Cool, enjoy checking them out.

Maybe you want to buy one. Even cooler.

Maybe you want to hire me to do photojournalism? Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

I like money, and my initial goal is to make enough from my photography to be able to sponsor a youth basketball team, like the YMCA team I once played for, Boro Photo in Brooklyn. I've lived in Astoria since 2004, so the name was right there for me.

Enjoy... peace and love! --JS
