Welcome to my photo blog. My name&#8217;s Nick Martinez, and I am a freelance photographer (and web designer, too!) based in Los Angeles&#8217; historic Echo Park neighborhood.</p> <p>As is often the case with freelance creatives, I sometimes feel bogged down by the banality of marketing and advertising myself. The thought of schmoozing for business makes me cringe and want to just go take a pretty picture. However, it must be done. Now, enter my blog. It is a clear meadow for me in this world, a place where I can post the images that move me, make me happy, content, sad, mad or tickled pink. Here, I can just post what I want. I hope you like it.</p> <p><img alt="Chicago Fountain" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/3094571708_9a87bf34e0.jpg" height="332" width="500"/></p> <p>Of all the snapshots I&#8217;ve ever taken, this is my favorite. I took it in Chicago.</p>http://nickmartinezstudios.tumblr.com/post/501786170http://nickmartinezstudios.tumblr.com/post/501786170Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:46:00 -0700ColorFavoritesOutdoorsDaylightChildrenPhotographyChicago
