Photographer Feature: Frankie Hruzek

Name: Frankie (it is, in fact, much longer and more complicated than that, but let's keep this simple) :)

  I've worked as a freelance photographer for years now. I've photo-slaved myself out for newspapers, magazines, and, when times were tough, the odd wedding. In all of it I've found that I prefer to photograph people more than anything else. The spontaneous portrait is far and away my favorite type of photography. When it comes down to it, a place is almost completely static. It's -people- that are dynamic. Maybe it's a narcissism inherent to us, but most of the time, we're most interested in looking at things that seem to look back. What follows are a few of my favorite portraits that I've taken during my adventures, domestic and abroad.

Self-portrait
[it might be weird that a self-portrait is one of my favorite pieces, but everyday I'm still amazed at the sheer size of my balls when I woke up that day and decided to do this. Not sure if it's an experiment that will ever get repeated, so I mark it as a victory to remember.]

As the Seasons Change

Here's my personal modeling contribution to the photographs taken in that little clearing in Austin that cloudy August day.  

My feet.

I don't normally take pictures of my feet... that's a total lie.  I take photographs of my own feet all of the time.  I take pictures of myself in mirrors by holding out the camera too.  But, usually, these pictures suck and are nowhere near being considered to be put on this blog.  Yeah.  Bad.  And oddly egotistical.  

Yet, here I go posting some pics of my own feet.  

It's because it's themed, kiddos...

(And by that I mean I felt like posting some self-portraits)

The second photograph was taken at Barton Springs.  More on that to come :)
