About Me

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse. Diane Arbus Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
I live in my head, travel in portals, play with fire, dance it out, cuddle it down, and find myself all over again. Another world traveler amogst world travelers. In 2005 my best friend, Alissa, and I spent 6 months traveling 9 countries. France will always be calling me. This last winter Jenny and I saw the tango passion and natural wonders of Argentina. And then Alissa and I set out again to Thailand, the most peaceful smiley country I have been to. A place I found a deeper compassion. Photography is my first love. My camera gives the tool to translate the dark and beautiful that I see. I love a muse. I enjoy showing someone themselves in a new mirror. To capture that perfect expression that will pull people in over and over again, my addiction. I have been blessed in this life with remarkable friendships and a strong family. Manifest your dreams and have kindness with the motion. Life can end abruptly when you are least expecting it. It just happened to my Mom. Live life fully and never hesitate to let people know how much you love them.

My Interests
