Existence

I was just thinking I should make a new entry, after all this time, to my blog.  Then I got to looking at other's blogs, and things they're interested in... and then thought I'd Google myself.  (see how my mind works?  No... I didn't think so)

Now admit it.  You've Googled yourself before... maybe frequently.  I check once and a while because of the listings I have with professional sites.

No, not really.  I Google to see if I still exist.

Anyway... this most recent check of self-awareness produced a page that had all but 2 listings referring to me (and not some other impostor from around the world).  The professional listings were there...  plus one from the church I serve at....  one from a comment I made on the BBC site.. And one from the IMDB!

Now being in the IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) is a big deal for me.  True, it was only for doing still photography on a single, short film...  but it's a start!
I've always want to make a film.  Or at least since I realized that I was never going to be a fashion photographer in southwestern Ohio.

So anyway, I clicked on the link, and there I was... Russ Beckner.  One movie... served as miscellaneous crew... no photo (They want $35 to put my picture in!).. but I was there!   And will continue to be there.  As long as there is an IMDB, I'll exist in motion picture history.  Maybe, I'll eventually get a few more credits under my name... or maybe, I should try for a note in the fashion photography world?
