I'm one of five photographers with an exhibition on this "artsy" website

[RagingInMiami]

I call it "artsy" because I had to write an "artist's statement" to accompany my photos. In all my writing career, I've never written an artist statement, so I wrote mine a little different -- and longer -- than the others. I wrote it more like a magazine article.

Still, it feels good to have an artist statement. I feel like I should buy a beret or something.

Fotomission, the non-profit organization that runs the website, is known for promoting local photographers. Their mission, according to their website, is "to utilize artistic and documentary photography as a means of creating positive social change while at the same time promoting the art of photography."

In other words, they have a liberal agenda.

My exhibition is on the janitors who went on strike. Eventually, after they get more funding, my photos will be posted in a gallery where I can put price tags on them. Then I can stand around sneering while wearing my beret. I'll be sure to wear all black.

But in the meantime, the photos are on this site. Most of you have seen these pictures already, but maybe you would like to check out the other galleries. I really like Chris Gordon's exhibition. It's very colorful.

I'm Carlos Miller, by the way, for those who don't know.
