What's in a name?

The birth of the name "YogurtCup" isn't from a particular fondness of the dairy product. I needed an AIM screenname, and on my messy desk sat a recently consumed cup of yogurt.

The name's run its course. The novelty of a six foot tall dude named for a dessert wears out. Though, I'm not sure why its so ambiguously gay. Yogurt is a unisex food product, is it not? Regardless, the pinnacle of this novelty was when I pissed off the editor of a local newspaper. "Hey YogurtCup, These Girls Do Matter"

Anyway, it's time to move on from yogurtcup. Yogurtcup.smugmug.com won't work. As much as I want to portray myself as a fun and creative photographer... I want a tinge of seriousness to my name, and the most serious photographers I know personally have names for their photography... LoloPhoto, JustinElement...( both have some good stuff, google them.) However, I need a name for myself

However... I can't find anything that works... Jojophoto.. a bit fobby. JoElement? hahaa. Maybe another word? 'El' is a spanish article. So.. "JoelFotagrafo" Wow, that's ugly.

I saved the domainname jzrosario.com. It's not that great, but it's a start.

Oh, and the blog name? "I'll Make A Man Out of You" - Mulan.

Cause, that's what I'm working on with this blog?
