Monthly Update

It's been awhile, too long. I haven't posted anything here since my trip to Boston because of the sheer fact of being way too busy with my audio job in DC. I have started a personal project in the past month though. I'm not exactly too sure as to what to call it. I've explained my fascination with photography by saying that I'm "Stealing souls, interpreting moments, and stopping time dead in it's tracks." I've also been very intrigued by eyes. So what's this project?

Eyes are very expressive, some even believe that they are the windows to the soul. They can't lie or hide behind false emotions. It's how you know if someone is genuinely laughing, or if it's a fake nervous laugh just to appease you. Some cultures it is rude to look directly into one's gaze, others it's rude and there's no connection if you don't. There's the evil eye which is the eye of jealousy, or a stare is that of want or lust. The eye is just as intriguing and mysterious as it is biologically a work of marvel and evolutionary genius. Functionality, aid in predation and defense, non-verbal communicator, and the quickest to heal in the human body. What isn't this amazing organ?



So what I'll be doing over the next few months is taking photos of your beautiful eyes. If you'd like to volunteer, either leave a message at my FaceBook, or email me at jpzfoto@gmail.com and we'll setup a date and time. If you've contacted me already and we haven't gotten your eyes yet, we'll definitely get them. I've been super busy as of late, but we'll get you and reschedule.
