About Me


Be sure to check out my photo web site - www.rawtography.com

"And we're all standing in it. Right in the middle of it. But you may not smell it, because I'm so good at covering it up - I mean, I can hide the smell with a five thousand dollar sofa or a brand new BMW. But what the fuck is all that? The Lysol of our souls? Spray it around and everything magically smells like roses."
