new as myself

[Jose A Martinez-old]

I'm not new at APUG.

I'm tired of being Daniel Mennuz, danmennuz, so I decided to subscribe as myself, Jose A. Martinez, from Mexico City, a photography junky, a serious amatheur trying to start a free lance career, passionate about documentary, fan of Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Mary Ellen Mark, Nathan Lyons, Koudelka, to mention just a few.

I must confess that I do some digital things, like scannographies, experimental stuff, but I still need to touch and see a negative of my photos. I don't trust in a bunch of ceros and ones in some magnetic or other kind media, is like a faith dogma to me.

As far as I'm still subscribed as danmennuz I'm not sure that I'll post under both names, yet. It gonna cost me three more years with my shrink.

Thanks all, Jose

Welcome under a new name.

Even though you confess to some mild digital transgressions, the fact that you like Frank, Evans and Koudelka provides absolution in my book.

 

[SuzanneR]

Welcome, Jose. I'm a big fan of your work, looking forward to seeing more in the galleries!

In my Jekill personality I submit a post about how to make an artist statement, is the above good as an artist statement?
