About Me


Click on this to sign up to my May 12th amazing workshop!!
WHY DID YOU ADD ME, ORI?
I'm a photographer / artist. I like cool people. I love humor. I added you because you have a cool look, a cool name, cool music, nice myspace layout, good jokes, or a nice personal writeup... something about you caught my attention. Maybe you'd make a cool friend. Maybe you'd make a great model. Maybe you just look like someone who'd appreciate my art or photos.
WHY SHOULD I APPROVE YOUR FRIEND REQUEST?
You should approve my friend request because I'm me! That's right. I have my own individual ideas, beliefs, and talents. I am fair and just, and I like people. I hang out with lots of models, and I hang out with some of the weirdest and ugliest freaks the world has ever known. If you're cool, I'll chat. I make cool images- photos, drawings, fantasy, 3d.... and I do a lot of them just to entertain the world. I tell lots of jokes. I write my own bulletins on a semi-regular basis. They include tips for photography, art, web, myspace, cooking -- whatever I feel like. They include some of my new ideas and / or images.... and most importantly, they often include funny stories from my life. I actually take the time to browse through all the bulletins and messages that I get. I read all my comments. I'm a damn good friend. I can cook up a mean meal. I have a very diverse collection of music, and I"m proud of that diversity. Rock, alternative, hip-hop, trance, house, etc.. even musicals (yes, I'm straight), and even in many languages (even if I don't understand what they say). I appreciate the little guy-- and the fight! I give respect to those who deserve it, yet treat just about everyone as equals and friends. I appreciate the effort that it takes an artist or musician to get any kind of recognition. I'm usually upbeat, and I like being alive. I believe I can do anything. I believe you can do anything. If you're in town, I will try to make the time to meet you. I have an awful lot of very useful knowledge... I have an even larger collection of useless knowledge (did you know that Frogs, when taken into space, can actually spit out their stomachs, turn them inside-out, and then swallow them back up?). I can write on and on-- and if you haven't found something interesting, then you probably shouldn't add me.I'm a goofy character. I like nothing more than taking photos, making cool images, spending time with my good friends, and meeting new people. I'm a big eater, but I work out often, so it's ok. I have a vision of someday publishing a book (one of them coffee-table books) of my art and crazy images. Right now I shoot products, models (glamour, fashion, fitness, artistic, etc..), nature, animals, etc..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Funny people, hot people, interesting people. Models- artists - clients - world leaders - people who own their own jets and want a photographer to go to exotic destinations with them :) - people who own magazines and want to send me to crazy corners of the world (yes, I know it's round).
