Jealousy and Envy
Nope, not the kinda post your expecting. I hope. I just wanted to give a shout out to my cousin who's the most gifted nature photographer in the world (my opinion might be slightly bias, but i stand by it)
his photography website is
BoPhoto
He spends ALOT of time working in Antarctica, and most of those pics were taken there. All of his shots are on film, no retouching, no Photoshop. The jealousy and envy part comes in because i would LOVE to see the places in those pictures, and i'm sure most of them I never will. Of course I've got to balance that by saying the thought of living in Antarctica doesn't much appeal to me personally, but he seems to love it down there. It takes a special person for that, but i guess the same can be said of people who live to make records (me). The pictures I create float out of speakers i suppose.
I'm also jealous of my friend Jen who works for the Gov't (not jealous of that part), but she gets to travel all over the world to places I'm sure I'll never go. She just emailed me from Syria! She's also been all over Russia, and I hope to go there this summer myself. I'll be picking her brain for suggestions if i go. I know she's been all over Africa and Europe as well. I'm jealous. I want to go to Africa. Maybe next year.
Then there's my friend Ponch who has lived in so many foreign countries I've long since lost track. I cant imagine how many languages he speaks. Last time i saw him was in Paris, he was just visiting his sister who lived there (also a friend), and I got to see both of them only a half a world away. She was there going to school. How cool is that.
So hey, if your reading this and you live in some cool exotic place, if you wanna fly me there to mix your record, I'll do it on the cheap as long as i can get a good vacation out of it as well :-) I'm all about the barter system.
For now, I'll have to get back to mixing in America, though currently I'm mixing and / or producing projects from Japan, Canada, Sweden, England, Cayman Islands, and I'm sure i'm forgetting someone.
