Blu's Daily Blog: Austin's Trey Ratcliff

Who's That Guy???

My name... Trey Ratcliff

Where I live... Austin, TX

My style... Unique photography for unique people

My website ... www.stuckincustoms.com and www.treyratcliff.com

The piece of equipment I can't part with...

My iPod that keeps my brain juicy while taking pictures with the sweet lady Nikon D2X.

The album company I use... I haven't used albums since my old Led Zepplin record had some opium spilled on it.

A website I visit often... flickr.com

One thing I do daily for my business... Check up on my ant-hive social network to see if there are any good scent trails.

What I charge for an 4 x 6... I don't sell little pics.

3 things you'll find on my desk... A green tea latte, an Apple product, and a picture of Steve Jobs in a black turtleneck or somesuch

Something you must have in every business.... People that can execute.

Something I always have with me during a photo shoot... An emergency beacon locater GPS device

If I could have someone shoot a portrait of me if would be ...Shiva. With all those arms she could probably really do some amazing things with the aperture, focus, ISO, and whitebalance.

A challenge I face in my company... Predicting what is fun.

If not a photographer I would have been a .... A Greek God of Chocolate

A blog I must read daily..... BoingBoing

Trey's favorite image of recent

Something I like.... Nature shows with lots of killing

Something I don't like... Getting killed while in nature

Something I like.... Getting lost in foreign cities and finding cool things

Something I don't like... Getting lost in my home city

Something I like... Using the seat-phone on the airplane to order pizza when the flight attendant walks by

Something I don't like... When other people use the seat-phone to order a pizza because I do it in a much funnier way with a crazy voice.

The brand of shampoo I use... Aveda Rosemary Mint. It makes my hair smell like a fresh bag of Big League Chew.

Something I must have for summer... A segway that tows another segway behind it in case the first one breaks down.

I generally go to bed around.... 1 AM

Obama or Hillary... Mao

3 things next to my bed... A shuriken, a scimitar, and an ivory-handled magnum like Sledgehammer had

A bad habit of mine is... Waking up in the middle of the night while screaming and throwing the shuriken in a random direction

A vending machine favorite... I was in Japan and was in luck because I needed some fresh underwear. I found a vending machine that was perfect, except the underwear was not clean and was not for men.

The car I drive... a Toyota Prius. It's like a golf-cart with windows.

If I won 5.8 million dollars in the lotto, the first thing I would buy
is..... Every existing DVD copy of "From Justin to Kelly" on the planet.

You'll never find me... Crying into my David Hasselhoff body-pillow.

The CD I'm listening too... Gotan Project. Seriously. They are great.
