Joeseph Abie Willet

Today I photographed Joe. I knew Joe sophomore year when we were RAs together. We met up outside the SCAD museum this morning. It had just stopped raining and the clouds made for beautiful light.

What makes you different from other Joseph's?
I only know a handful of Josephs, so I can’t say for certain there isn’t another Joseph similar to me, but I would say the probability of finding some one, regardless of name, is near impossible. In fact, there is about a 3% chance of meeting anyone remotely close to me. We can thank the Myers-Briggs personality test for that handy little fact about the ENTJ and with that tidbit of information a lot more of how I am different can be found on Wikipedia.

So I think the real challenge is finding someone like me and with my number of Joseph acquaintance being low it’s basically up to you, the reader, to compare and contrast me to your Josephs. To paint the picture further and delve into my psyche it can also be said that I am a Gemini and New Yorker.. So with those two facts I think more basic characteristics can be imagined or looked up on Google and Wikipedia. But, I’ll make it a little easier in a listing kind of way so that the next Joseph you meet can ask yourself “Is he like Joseph Abie Willet who is..”

Knowledge-seeking, objective, observational, factual, analytical, future oriented, strategic, extroverted, strong-willed, ambitious, independent, realistically idealist, organized, rational, resourceful, workaholic, and goal-oriented, which basically means I’m a natural leader and actively pursue endeavors that enable me to coordinate and lead.


I like the museum, I think the concrete with the creased divisions represent my logical, ordered and simplistic philosophies.

 

Would you change your name if you could?

 I would never change my name; if I were to lose everything and everyone in the world I would at least have my name, which means I would at least know me. I take great pride in my name not for its structure or meaning, biblical or what have you, but because it is a personal history and a heritage. I was named after family members, whom have directly or indirectly shaped me on a natural and nurturing way. I could not be who I am if it were not for them, and if it were not for them I would not have the name that I am. My existence, my name can tell you everything about me if you knew its history.

Thanks for meeting up with me, Joe! It was great to catch up with you.
