| Location: | Lancaster, California, United States | |
| Bio: | Welcome to journal of “JJ MacCrimmon” – photographer, explorer and rogue. This is where I post my thoughts personal bits of mayhem and photographic highlights. My photography tastes are as eclectic as my personality and photograph what strikes me as beautiful. This includes: Nature & wildlife; * Nature photo of the day each weekday Abandoned Places and Lost Locale’s; * For interested parties, I self-publish photos from abandoned site expeditions here and in various LJ Communities. If you have suggestions, ideas for sites to photograph or would like to model, please post a comment to one of my current posts. We can work out details, schedules or ideas off-line. I can and have been hired for the last two areas and am available for shoots. Concerts and Events; * In the Los Angeles area, I offer a killer package for emerging bands and performers. I will photograph up to an hour set, guaranteeing 40 high quality images on CD-r usable for promotional purposes. Contact me at my e-mail for details and costs. Ask me about other entertainment photo options!  Models, Burlesque Performers and Individuals of Interest * At present, I'm doing limited TFP photo sessions. Ask! Photo sessions are cost negotiable. I'm willing to photograph: costumed, fetish (negotiable), erotic, artistic nudes, pin-up, headshots, portraiture, special events/parties. As a policy, I prefer not working with under-age subjects (18+, sorry). I prefer not to, based on liability; my requirement they have an escort and personal experience. These are difficult shoots due to logistics and the greater measure of care that must be exercise to protect the subject and the photographer. As such, I will consider shoots on a case by case basis. CONTACT ME HERE: JJMacCrimmon-at-Gmail-mote-com My Photos have been selected as a Live Journal Pick of the Week and as a Yahoo Pick. I've had images published directly or indirectly in: CurbedLA.com, BlueRailRoad.com, Lost Destinations.com, Los Angeles City Council President's Office, BatsDay.com and through multiple personal sites. Please note, ALL photographs taken by myself or my daughter and posted here are considered protected under the copyright laws of the United States of America. Permission for reuse (personal, charitable, or commercial) must be obtained from the photographer (and/or model where applicable). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes to MY journal (effective 12 Dec 07) Friending Policy Feel free to friend me if you like, though I'd ask you to send a brief introduction comment or message. Don't get upset if I don't friend you back in return (immediately or ever). All of my photography appears on the public side of this journal. Family and private matters stay as "friends-only" posts. As I get to know 'you' either in person or in commentary, I may add you. Don't be surprised though if I should drop an ocassional comment into your journal in the mean time. 1. This is my personal journal and with the exception of photo highlights, it will contain my thoughts and personal information. Given that, it is primarily friends-only. Photos, photo essays and related materials will be posted on a public basis. Please consider content appropriately. 2. From now on, I have disabled anonymous posting. If you (the collective you) wish to write something in it fine, but have the personal honor and chivalry to identify yourself. If “you” write something that flames someone else explaining their viewpoint they damn sure have the right to defend themselves. If you don’t give them that courtesy then I am obliged to do so. 3. I reserve the right to delete comments that are inappropriate or cause heartburn. I hate, detest and abhor editing or cutting out comments, but I can’t condone some of the flaming and drama that cropped up here even after I said I hated drama. I refuse to go to "Friends Only" posts because I know full well that there’s a substantial number of readers out there who read my LJ, but aren’t on my friends list for various reasons. 4. Be civil when commenting! 5. Effective 1 May 07, All other comments just went to screened status. This is due to inappropriate suggestions and threatening comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Create your own visitor map! Of the Me: I'm a single parent with two incredible children who amazingly manage to put up with me most of the time. They provide me more than enough drama. Keep your drama to your llamas. Screw me over, use me or mine, or abuse my trust and woe be to you! I will find out eventually. I’m originally from the Midwest. I grew up with a love of horses, basketball, green rolling hills and thunderstorms. I also grew up with a dislike for hicks/rednecks, intolerance, keeping the status quo and humidity. I think, that’s why I’ve lived out west for the last 15+ years. Photography wise, I primarily use a Minolta 5D digital SLR, and an old Minolta Maxxum 3 xi, 35mm (film) SLR camera. On occasion, I’ll also use my daughter’s Canon 3S IS to spot for future 35mm film shots. I love getting pictures of abandoned sites and unique places. I’ve also been known to go out of my way to photograph reportedly haunted places such as the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach. That's about as much as my brain can muster right now, but I'll fill in more blanks later.  | |
