Personal Profile	I am a 28 year old photographic artist from Merced ,Ca. I experiment with all forms of photography.

Artist Statement	I am the showman. I try to show what is beneath the surface of my subjects, and above the normal conception of their creation. I provide a picture for every thought and a thought for every picture. I do not plan or arrange things in my pictures, I capture them as they are. Then I mutilate their innocent existance into a warped version of themselves. I was always one of those kids asking what if grass was blue and the sky was red? Now I can satisfy those queries with a little humor and a super sized bucket of misfortune, cumulatively combined with a blind painter and the architect with no hands. Enjoy or gasp, it's your dime. I am trying desperately to get a new camera as mine was damaged while getting shots of Yosemite N.P. Anyone willing to help, please do! I am also a writer, mostly poetry. I deviate from normal structure, to push points further and denoting crippling sentiment. I will be presenting numerous poems during july's art hop event. I do not know where ill be, but i will be at the event. Come see my web page in progress- www.charleserskine.darkfolio.com. Im on facebook and myspace. I show works of nature, black and white, reversal negative prints, filtered, altered prints, portraits, political base, etc.
