Michael, Photographer

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a Professional photographer. I photograph a lot of Photojournalism, Glamour, Head Shots, Model Portfolios, Intimate Shots, Wildlife, Group Shots, Parties, Etc. Do you love glamour? I may be open to your ideas. Do not fear my big lens, or my two hard cameras. Or all the crap I used to make my photographic magic. Do you see yourself in front of my lens? Be bold. Be daring. I try to avoid negative people. They bring you down. I am about life. I am a Native-American & African American mix. I love both side of me. I am into people who are fun and who want to make an impact on this world. I am a loyal friend. I am looking to grow and learn in a positve way. I live for my son's smile. He is the reason why this world turns, and you are blessed for just being in the same space as him. Do not ask me questions you do not want the answer to. Do not test me, I will fail every time. I do not like mind games, although my degree has taught me how to play them well. If you want something ask. Feel free to talk, I am open to that. I am focused and open. Keep the drama, it bores me. I believe you can get everything you want in life, if you would just help enough other people get what they want. Yes, I am a Mason.

My Interests

Photography, Pow Wows, Cultural Events, Art, Dancing, Poetry, Mountain Biking, Back Packing, Drawing, Small group communication, Cooking and Working out.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet make-up artists, designers, photographers, models, people who want to be models, people who love to make or wear costumes, people who are willing to try something before they condem it, web designers, etc. I do not care who you sleep with so gay males and females need not avoid me (if you do hair or make up I really want to meet you). I would love to get to know people of different backgrounds. I want to learn all I can about you. I would really love to photograph you. People who understand that you can have everything you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want. When we party, I could give less than a damn about some person you like or the past love who is no good for you but you keep going back to them. Morn and move on. Bring something positive to the table even if it is just a good conversation. We are all here on vacation, enjoy the trip.
