I've been recently inspired by Chase Jarvis ([link])to really get out there and start taking pictures. I've been trucking along for the past few weeks and I don't plan on letting up. I upload most of my good images here on dA, but there are so many more that I upload to my website: [link]

After my car accident a year ago I went through one of those phases where I started rethinking my life. Yes, I know, it’s super cliche, but it was a good thing. Before my accident most of my life was spent in my room playing video games or doing video game related things such as running websites, making movies, recording podcasts, etc. Sure that’s fun and all, but what do I have to show for it? Ok, I was on the front page of Bungie.net, but most people in the world don’t even know how big of a deal that is. If I died today do I want people to remember Josh as the dude who played alot of video games? I decided that I didn’t want my life to end up like that at all.

Around the one year anniversary of my accident I again sat down to nail down my plan in life. Right now I’m attending Miami University for a degree in Computer Information Technology with a concentration in Visual Media Design. Once I finish that degree I’m going to try to go to the University of Cincinnati for a degree in Photography. Photography has been a growing passion of mine for a while now and I want to pursue it as a career goal. I know this sounds corny, but I want to make a difference in the world some day…and I want to do it through pictures. Whether that be photojournalism or my own means. I think this is where I’m headed and I’m going full steam ahead.

So if you see me with a camera in my hand all the time from this point forward you now know why…this is me and I like me.
