Photo influences

Here's a photo a captured while taking some pictures at Los Angeles Valley College for a little mailer I"m doing for them. I'm not using this in the mailer but I took it because I like the simpicity of the composition and mono coloring and the basic every day drab of it.


ALSO- I'M REGRETTING THE USE OF THE PHOTO BELOW FOR THAT BIO IN THE BOOK...???? I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT PIC OF MYSELF TO USE... A PRETTY ONE? HA! A CLEVER PIC OF ME BEHIND A CAMERA? ME AND A BEER??? SEEMED LIKE A GOOD CHOICE AT THE TIME... MAYBE I SHOULD GET A BIT MORE VAIN!???!!!
