I assume this question refers to who I would like to meet here, in this glittering world of friendship and amatuer digital photography. Anyone who can tell me something I have never heard before is cool. Whether the something is true or just creative. Also... people who can truly be honest. Blunt, even. Blunt is great. Just tell it like it is. Too many people for my taste seem to have a serious problem doing this. As much as I hate to say this, if you want to add me as a friend, email me. If you're a band, please, PLEASE don't send me a friend request unless my list of favorite music actually makes you think there is a significant possibility that I will like your music.So all that and...
"Take off your Band-Aid 'cuz I don't believe in touchdowns." "Live through this, and you won't look back." "Another game of putting things aside, as if we'll come back to them sometime."

I don't really have heroes. There are too many people out there with too much wisdom to offer to pick a few. But I do admire/envy/aspire to be like to some extent anyone who is ridiculously intelligent, stunningly beautiful, insanely creative, immensely talented, intensely ambitious, brutally honest, unrelentingly optimistic, (even overly) confident, or simply content. But... when you get down to it, I do not begrudge those people their assets. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Well, a couple, at least. Okay, maybe one. But that's something, right?
