Photographers, .. artists , people who like to make stuff, people who are into good wine and lively discourse. Mostly, people who can either further my carreer, and I theirs, or help me out with my art production and filling up what little free time I have left. I would love to find other mysticks... We can help each other achieve greatness, find ourselves, move the universe, join the global coalition for fine-wine-bottle purging, spin ten plates at once...
