[A.P. Photography]

LOL yeah but you are one of the OG's. Jason was talking about the noobs.

Now, seriously, I am laughing at this thread...

Why because a few years ago, I told paul, fuck this picture taking shit.. Is getting to mainstream..

Why did I tell this to Paul ? Here you go..

I love photography.. actually me and my 23 year old brother do.. I have always enjoy taking pictures.. One of my biggest interest.. But I never chased it because I hate being mainstream... I knew there were going to be photoghrapers popping up every where.. I dont know, just that gut feeling..

But maybe one day, when Im not a part of IA anymore I will invest in a decent camera and just shoot shit for fun and because I like to do it.. I know if I do now and start posting pictures on IA, people will say Im jumping the bandwagon also.. But guess what , I'm not.. is just one of those things that I never pursue.. I mean, I took close to 10,000 Pictures for importatlanta when we 1st started until like 2005, I dont call my self a photograper.... Of course, shitty pictures. but we were also using shitty cameras.. The only people I knew back then taking pictures locally that were sick shit to me and I always wanted to take pictures like them, Jaime, Tom and Joey redmond, John Mulazzi....and old man Joe, who shot my car for hondatunning a few years ago.

I do laugh that alot of people like to use water mark shit everywhere online.. Lame..

I honestly respect all the OG's that been doing it for awhile.. I know Ive been watching Speedminded/AP and a few others for the last few years also..

But now it seems like everyone is a photographer.. But I think a camera is as good as the person using it....

Me and paul were going to invest some big money on cameras, because Paul likes taking pictures also.. Paul bought a nice one at one point but sold it because he saw what I was seing as well....


I actually chill with my brother sometimes and he's been teaching me a few things here and there when time permits..
He shoots for a couple of big companies here and GA and uses photograhpy for side $$$.. He's been doing it for a few years now..

Here is a picture of him if any of you real photographers run into him at some kind of photoshooting event or something... He was going to shoot for IA at one time.. But we decided to drop that deal with him. Just because honestly, He wasnt going to be needed.. The future was clear once we analyzed everything.
