My Girl Gizzy

Shameless Plug

I love photography. Just as much as I love making pictures, I love reading the history of it, talking to others about it, meeting others who are way better at it than I am and above all looking at the photographs themselves. I come across hundreds of websites or blogs dedicated to photography and find great photos to look at.

But I could (and have) come across great pictures at flea markets, garage sales and even lying face down on a sidewalk somewhere.That's why I started a new blog (Photos Found) and meant to start it a while ago but along with starting grad school, being lazy, getting married, and more laziness, I'm just getting around to it.

I won't display just any photo that comes my way. It either has to strike me aesthetically or simply make me laugh.

Found Magazine was a nugget of inspiration but the idea hit me six years ago when I came across a picture on the sidewalk in my neighborhood in Chicago. It was a picture of a family celebrating their son's baptism. It was timeless, recognizable and above all, sweet.

Enough from me. Check it out for yourself: Photos Found

Enjoy,

Eddie

p.s. if you have a photo that you've found and want me to display it, shoot me an email at eddie.quinones@gmail.com. I'll credit you with the find.

Rob Harrison

Rob dedicates his life to helping others with substance abuse problems he once had. Here he checks on things in men's dorm room at the Salvation Army Harbor House, a homeless shelter for families and inviduals. He works here part-time while working at the Reality House, a drug treatment, work release, and jail overflow facility.

The Reality House

This just an outake from a photo story I'm doing on an employee of The Reality House, a drug rehabilitation center in Columbia, Mo. It's focusing on the security director there and I was waiting outside his office while he was having a meeting with someone. I can't photograph the people who are getting treatment but I caught one of them walking by the frosted glass doors.
