Hope everyone is doing well on this day! I realize it's been a hot minute since I've posted anything on here and have been missing in action for a while. Since August of 2017, I've held down a part-time job at Panera Bread as a dining room attendant and that job was more of a short term gig until the manager at the time, Luis had terminated me due to "lack of hours" and for some blah, blah, blah excuse he had given me. I feel like there's more to the story than meets the eye at Panera Bread and I'm not going to speak badly about my employment at Panera Bread because it won't look too cool on my end. So, I had to temporarily abandon ship when it came down to my photography since then... No, I wasn't so much thinking about this blog until recently and had gone on several photography walks in the last several months which by all means were very exciting. I very much looking forward in going on future photography walks and the one thing I intend on doing once when I find employment, I plan on going to B&H to drop off some film before I use any of my other rolls of film I currently hold in my possession. I am itching to go on photography walks and obtaining employment as a photographer or find someone in the photography field that would take me under their wing until I am confident enough to go out there on my own. Due to financial reasons, I am going to be on a photography hiatus until further notice (indefinitely so to speak) and when I am back on my feet with employment, I plan on stocking up on film (such as Ilford HP5 Plus, Ilford XP2, Ilford Delta 100, Ilford Delta 400, Ilford Delta 3200 if needed, and FujiFilm Fujicolor Pro 400H Professional Color Negative films) to last me for a bit. I miss being behind the camera because photography for me is very therapeutic, very relaxing, and it allows me to purge artistically and the freedom to express myself (on how I perceive the world in an artistic way). However, you can follow me on DeviantArt, Flickr, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook (although I'm rarely on Facebook). It's best to search for me at Scorpion Images on Facebook and don't forget to like my pare so I can add you to my personal Facebook page. In the mean time, I need to focus my time and energy into my job search and once when I am fully established work wise, I intend on dropping off some film that a friend of mine had given me several years ago when I had last seen him and I have several rolls of film that needs to be processed. I apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause for those who are currently searching for a local New York City photographer and as mentioned before, once when I'm on my feet with a steady income, I will inform everyone that I'm officially back in business! If you know of any photography studios, please feel free to contact me with any information for any job listings for the Queens and Midtown Manhattan (anywhere from Times Square down to Grand Central Terminal or from Times Square down to Penn Station and Herald Square) areas and I just want to make this clear, I do not have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Commercial Photography or any professional experience to share on my resume but I do have this as a side hustle. I unfortunately don't have the available funds to go back to LaGuardia Community College to finish up my studies. If my situation had been different since 2009, I'd be back in college pursuing an education and not wasting my time working at one job after another feeling unhappy with what I do for a living (a job is a job, right?). Additionally, I know what I need to do in order to change my current situation and I know what is expected of me, so you are not telling me anything different than what I've always known. Please, don't think that I am explaining myself because I'm not explaining myself, thank you very much.
It's been a challenge wanting to continue on with any current photography projects such 'New York City: Five Borough Tour' I've been working on since the spring semester of 2013 and I regularly visit Professor Jaimie Gordon's Wordpress page for the most recent syllabus for that semester.
As of late, I’ve been going on YouTube and have been checking out videos on MKUltra and the Illuminati, many videos I’ve watched on YouTube are informative. Plus, I’ve been watching how celebrities such as Beyoncé and Jay-Z are apart of the Illuminati cult and wipe out any other artist who they feel that are considered “threats”. I like their music but I’m not all out a huge fan of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. I know I sound like I’ve lost my mind but had to get it out there. But will leave this entry short and sweet until I have more to update you all on. Just to name a few of the YouTubers I've been watching are: The Truth Show, The Contingency Plan, Visual, and just to name a few.
Warm blessings,
Jennifer
