When the blog editor of the Daily Texan (who just happens to be my lil’ wifey) approached me to write this blog - I knew exactly whose blog I wanted to model my style around. Graeme Mitchell.

He’s a New York fashion/portrait photographer who shoots mainly black and white film. In addition to his professional work, he also keeps a blog upon which he discusses other photographers, trends in his business, tips for young photogs, and his amazing NYC street series. I saw this photo the other day and it blew me away; just the way he harmonized the street elements into a dynamic shape and captured this man perfectly in his morning routine.

What I really like about reading Graeme’s blog is that I feel it relates to me. While I am by no means on “his level,” he is a young photographer breaking into the business. Someone to learn from. Not to mention someone that still loves film.
