Feature Friday: Will Vastine

Each week I will feature my favorite bloggers and some fun & interesting stuff that you may or may not have known about them. If you would like to be featured on Polka Dot Robot, please email us at info(AT)polkadotrobot(DOT).

I am super excited for this feature Friday this week because we are featuring one of my favorite photographers Will Vastine.

Name: Will Vastine
Nickname(s): You know, I don't really have a nickname, and that is kinda sad.
Hometown: Northfield, Minnesota
Currently In: Springfield Missouri
Website/Blog Address: www.willvastine.com or willvastine.typepad.com
Shop Address: thesundaycollective.etsy.com

Favorite Drink: Right now its been a quad shot of espresso over ice. Or Diet Dr. Pepper.

Favorite Show: Well, it's a toss up between Lost and Ghost Hunters. Maybe Mythbusters too.

Favorite Hobby: Being outside. I love to camp, hike, backpack, mountain bike. I love the outdoors.

Where would you like to see your craft, hobby, business go this year: I would love to make it into my full time gig. It's a real lofty goal. But I think its attainable.

Current Obsession: Well, I would have to say... it's a secret. I am helping a friend with a project... and I can't wait to share it with you all!

Secret People Don't know about you: Well, I can balance things on my chin. Like ladders and chairs.

I dream about: Climbing Mount Everest. Its there. Its the highest point on earth. And it makes me feel so small. I want to be on top of the world.

What made you want to start your shop/blog/website: I have always loved photography, and never thought I would have the bug to actually do it full time. But over the last few years, its just gotten so intense, and such a part of me I can't give it up. I have also had the encouragement from a lot of people around me to make it into something more than just a hobby.

How would you describe what your blog: Its my place to share what I am doing photographically, what I am learning, and how I am growing. And through that I hope it can turn into a place of learning for the people that read it. I can share what I know, and people can learn from the mistakes and triumphs that I am making.

Favorite Item in your shop currently: I would have to say it would be Erin's print of the light pole. It looks so real.What are some of your favorite blog, websites, artist:  Zack Arias (www.zarias.com) Chase Jarvis (www.chasejarvis.com) Erin Sunday (erinsunday.wordpress.com)

Ooh, I like this feature. I also like that he doesn't have a nickname. I've never had a nickname either, and it has always made me feel left out!! Great interview!! :)
