Abyssia, a new SG friend, left a comment in my last journal entry that asked me Why I take Photos, what my Aim is, and what do I hope to express.... I wrote a response that I thought I'd share with you, because the question interested me and in all the time I've been any sort of artist(now entering my 9th year from my artistic...

6 Images uploaded from the August 13th 2005 shoot with Rolette. Marked in a folder with a not terribly dubious title.
Just 6 of my favorites at the moment. I haven't edited them all yet. Let me know what you think.
With a little luck I'll get some down from the shoot with Raiyne too.
If anyone at all is reading this and I'm not...

I just wrote quite a long reply that included commentary on the various photos you have posted, explained my journeys to your websites, discussed my usual policy on not accepting 'friends' unless they've at least commented in my journal and how I'm also not much for rules.... And then I accidentally deleted it all.
Ok, I am very fond of the second and fourth photos for very different reasons. The second one is sleepy seduction. The fourth portrays the very essence of womanhood in its perfection - until you look at her face. It would seem she is bound. The contrast is striking. I can project just about any emotion or state of mind onto that single image, save joy. You've captured so many moods in these six photos. Boredom, Anger, Aggression, Aloofness.... I could go on, but then I'd just accidentally delete it again.
Why do you take photos? What is your aim? What do you seek to portray?
Oh, I did tell you that I grew up in Bensalem.
Maybe that's why it all went *poof!* ;o)

I'm not sure if you'll see this this way, so I'll likely message you as well...if I can figure out how. :/ Oh wait there it is...
I'm glad you enjoyed the photography and I hope you did with the rest of the sites.
Why do I take Photographs....
I Suppose it's for the same reason I do all of my artistic ventures: To create. Artists are nearest to God(in whatever form that God is) of all the many professions. Why do I say that? Because Artists, REAL Artists, seek to do many things with their work: Create, Inspire, Change, Destroy, Heal, Harm, etc. An Artist can make you feel something in way no one else can, because they are directly affecting it.
I don't suppose I have an Aim except to keep myself occupied and to enjoy what I do. I love to Paint, to draw, to write...to take pictures...and to change pictures. I am nothing if not an artist.
What Do I want to Portray...hmm...
Well that changes based on the piece in question. Everything I make or write or capture is usually inspired by a single event or song or emotion. SOMETHING causes me to do these things. Something far more complicated than I should ever hope to understand.
I'm not sure how else to say it....perhaps I shouldn't try.

Selected Images from Rolette's Photo Shoots w/ Me
bleh...
The last 36 hours have sucked. Sucked like a goddamned thousand dollar fucking Hoover. Oh well...not gonna get into it because it's mostly a truckload of bullshit I'd like to drive off the edge of a cliff.
But I'm not Bitter
Anyway....so the band has been working on a ton of new shit. The teaser CD we've been giving out with some of the...

Photoshoot last night with Rolette and Raiyne.
Went well, should have pictures on here as well as on the site in the next couple days. Took about 300 pictures or so total to give the new camera a good workout and see how things shaped up.
Turned out quite well, I'm very pleased.
Also pictures from FUSION on Friday night which I haven't even BEGUN...

Ah where to begin...
I'm a photographer and musician. I'm the lead singer of the band HydE(Official Website) and do my own artwork/photography(Perfect-Drug.org). I'm an artist, plain and simple.
I'm part of the Philadelphia Industrial/Goth Scene and you can often find me out on Friday nights at Emerald City for FUSION.
I'm a pirate captain

welcum to your new addiction 
As for the website font, I'm thinking you mean on Perfect-Drug.org and the name of the font is "enigma"...You won't be able to find it for free, and I promised not to give it out. It was designed by a graphic-artist friend of mine and I now use it for all my captions and all.
Thank you for the praise...the Photomanips took a long time to learn but I love doing it, and while only a very few are my own photography, that will be changing soon now that I'm doing photography on a regular basis again.
PS: I noticed you're a fan of the film Hedwig and the angry inch. You should check out our band site...we do a cover of the title song.
