My name is Jonathan Foster. I'm a 3rd year photojournalism major at RIT and this is my exploration of the ideas of truth and freedom. “In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and He answered by setting me free.” Psalm 118:5
“There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.”- Walter Cronkite
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.” - Jack Kerouac
"Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."-Thomas Jefferson

true Freedom
I was given 5 minutes to shoot Kevin Hart during his set at Brick City. I didn’t come away as well as I had wanted. I woke up at 8:55 and the show was supposed to start at 9:00. Fortunately I made it before the warm-up act hit the stage, but I still only had ten minutes to shoot him. I warmed up with the 70-200, the put the 300 on for the main act. I tried to get visual with some people silhouetted in the background along a railing, but it didn’t work. I should have stuck to the 70-200 and cropped. The 300 was too close.
I’m ready for a break. I’m ready to not have 6 shoots a weekend, to sleep more than four hours a night…
But I love what I do.
