About Me

The right & left sides of my brain are always battling it out for my attention between the creative and the logical with the creative usually winning over.
Really, I am an artist in techie's clothing.
I am always making something....art, music, food. I need creative outlets to live..
Cinnamon spiders in line at the post office would be my version of hell
I think everything that happens from the good to bad, love to hate, life to death is part geography, part chemistry, part fate.I'm tryin to bail on the east coast to move to Cali and yet NYC calls to me.. decisions decisions.. Hong Kong for a month this summer after that I'll figure it outI work for myself and always have. Thats just me. I don't like bosses and I don't like cubicles.
It's not so much about money... Success to me is gauged by one's level of personal freedom to do what makes them happy.
Some of the stuff I do today are linked up below. They vary but that keeps things interesting...
If I could just do photography and make a living, I would :)
And so you know.. the difference between porn and art is.... lighting :)
