In the meantime, I'll try to poke my head in here every now and then and see what's going on...

Hope everyone is well!

so I've logged into good old dA for the first time in many many months.. can't say I'm very excited to be here. I checked my inbox and had gotten a ton of messages, many of which had titles like "I LOVE YOU" and stuff like that. At first I thought I was going to have a bit of back patting to do as I read from my many admirers but then I had just realized spam has finally infiltrated dA.

so who is still reading my posts? anybody? hahaha...

I'm good. Way busy. Shooting lots in Chicago and elsewhere. Making a living off of it for over a year now. It can be done! Keep shooting, kids!

Oh, and if you'd like t keep up on me, you're best bets are:

So today, in Spain, on 6 July 2007, I apparently have some sort of writeup in the El Pais newspaper. It's actually in the magazine that comes with the paper, apparently called EPS...? If you can confirm or deny this, that would be awesome! I doubt I will be able to see a copy of it until they send me one, and I am very interested to see how good/bad I am portrayed in there. The article is about my website EveryoneIsFamous.com and may or may not be about other websites as well, not only mine.

Ok, that's all! Let me know if you've seen it!

Oh, and in other news, I will MOST LIKELY be in Spain this October at some point! yay!

Enjoy,
Clayton

I'm excited about that. Summer in Chicago is the best. Although, I am hoping to travel as much as I can.... It looks like next week I will be in Detroit, Montreal, (possibly) Boston and finally NYC on June 1 for a week or so. Still need to find places to stay there!

I haven't been around much. Shooting a lot. Fulltime, kinda. All freelance stuff. Mostly nightlife. Not making a ton of money but enough for now....

If you have a second, go check out an article a local publication did about ME, yes ME! It was the cover story of New City a week ago. It's posted in my blog... [link]

Hope all is well with everyone!

apparently somebody in asia is now selling cigarette lighters with one of my photos on them.

it's amazing.. really. how connected the world has become to the point that:

A) it's possible to steal somebody's photo and use it for your own profit on the other side of the globe, and
B) it's possible to find out about somebody on the other side of the globe using your photo for their profit.

on the surface i should be mad about this, and yeah, it's annoying.. but really, what can I do? not much. if I want people to see my photos then it's necessary for me to show them online, and if I show them online, people can and will take them.. if they are good, of course. Perhaps it's my just deserts for ripping off adobe for all these years..

anyway, in conclusion, go buy that jazzy lighter while you still can! yay!!!
