About Me

Layout made by Deb ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ...................................You'll probably hate me...I really don't fit in to any normal categories. For instance I can't stand allmost any politician we have now, republican, democrat, two sides of the same dirty coin. They are further away from what our founding fathers dreamed of for America as you can possibly get and every day we lose a little more freedom.I'll probably end up being some cranky old bastard in a log cabin down some gravel lane that runs people off with a shotgun.I took all of the pictures you will see here I hope you like them, I make part of my living in wedding photography but the outdoors is my passion. I probably spend more time outside than anyone you know, you wouldnt think I would be such a fatzo with all that walking. I love to do anything outside, birdwatch, bowhunt, gather herbs like ramps and ginseng and morels or spend an evening thigh deep in a smallmouth stream. I've tried very hard to have a huge mix of people on my friends list you will find painters, photographers,pool hustlers,poets, trannies and witches and shamen and writers, ufo hunters, a guy thats seen bigfoot, chess players and wierdos. Plus a few normal people, but lets face it everyones a little strange, if you have read this far your probably one of the wierdos which means your one of my favorites!!!!

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Martin Niemoller 1946

Sang hunting...

So as much as i tromp around the woods in a years time it's only natural that I would run across ginseng. Ginseng as you probably know is considered a panacea for nearly everything and is highly rever...

Night wind

I have allways been strangely fascinated by the wind at night. The outline of the trees blowing to and fro against the night sky. The sound and the feel of it in the dark. Clouds racing across the moo...
