Although I exude the pretense of being a die hard intellectual, committed to a career in academia or some kind of job involving the literary, I have to admit, my dream job looks something more like this.
This is Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist blog (for those few who may not know who he is by now). He is one of the most influential (if not most) street-fashion photographers, mainly shooting in New York but also internationally in fashion epicenters such as Milan and Paris.
Although there are a few photographers that generate half as much buzz as he (notably his girlfriend Garance Dore`[that accent is suppose to go over the -e-, I've forgotten the keyboard stroke in order to make it do that :/]), he still reigns supreme.
Seriously, you travel around the world, and take pictures of well dressed individuals (not to vilify or simplify what he does, he has a great eye for aesthetics, thus why he, out of a sea of fashion bloggers, is prominent). That sounds almost as great as Anthony Bourdain's job with his show No Reservations (the only reason that I put his higher is because even more than clothes I love to eat...no wait, I'm not sure about this one, I'll have to get back to you on it).
Is there a job I can have where I travel around the world and eat great food, take fashion photos, and still have time to write (like fiction write)? I think that no human could sustain with that kind of lifestyle. I think I would explode with happiness if that's all I ever did.
O, by the way, Scott just published a book of his favorite photos (he came to Dallas for his book tour, which I couldn't make it to! Ahhh!!) which is one my long list of books to buy. It looks like it would be a great coffee table book for sure.
