This is my fiance Emily. It’s probably the most honest portrait of her I’ve gotten so far. It was taken in the common area of her dorm room with a Canon 5D mkII.

I work out of NYC and upstate NY as well, shooting all sorts of stuff. My website is KevinBuso.com, I’m on Twitter at @KevinBuso, and my Facebook fan page is facebook.com/kevinbusophotography

Portrait-Photographers posted my submission. Huzzah!

Emily likes to take photos from me before I can edit them, and that’s fine because she just likes to update her FB photos and such and they get a wider audience there anyway, so who gives a damn?

She submitted the top photo tonight, because she’s awesome.

Then I figured I’d post my edited version as well for the hell of it. I used to edit like a maniac trying to be a painter using Lightroom. These days I’m much better with the subtlety of a good edit.

Finally finished editing this batch. Took a while because I had so many “keepers”. Even if most of them can never see the light of day ;)

It was raining all day today.

I had the day off because we can’t pour concrete in the bad weather.

I was cleaning the apartment.

I found your old diary in the Rode mic box.

It made me think of this song. It made me think of your bedroom. It made me think of Smith Printing and of Jonathan Miles. Of Mike Doughty, eating Chinese food on the carpet, and knee scars.

I love you. Things are going to be amazing sooner than you realize. I promise.

wahhh wahhh wahhh people on Tumblr don’t keep all my credits intact wahhh wahh wahh.

Fuck you. You give people THE BEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT TO YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I don’t care about your fucking whining.

Watermark your photos, stop posting them, or stop fucking crying about the theft. You get to do ONE of those three things.

Ned Hepburn: Wheaties diary 6: Discipline :

nedhepburn:

After yesterday’s post someone asked “how” to run – essentially – how to keep doing it. It isn’t a whole lot of fun while you’re doing it. The mind starts to wander, and after a while it’s just you and your knees hurting and trying to keep yourself from stopping.

The (ahem) “secret” is breaking…

“I believe in art’s social presence—as breaker of official silences, as voice for those whose voices are disregarded, and as a human birthright. … I don’t think we can separate art from overall human dignity and hope.”

- Poet Adrienne Rich, born on May 16, 1948, adds to history’s finest definitions of art in the historic letter that made her the only person in history to decline the prestigious National Medal of Arts. (via explore-blog)

The final episode of Geocachers this season is up and roaming about the internet. The wonderful Mike Doughty joins us for a cache along the East River. Then we jumped in the air, because, you know, GEOCACHERS!

I made this.

Tagging this as animal abuse is really fucked up because animal abuse is a serious fucking thing. Holding up a dog for a picture isn’t fucking abuse.

I don’t get why some of these things are even tagged “white people”. Does the maker of the picture believe no POCs ever adore their pets?

Yes. That’s exactly what I believe. Only White People like animals.

No one in the rest of the world likes animals.

It’s only White People.

Only.
