I'm a photographer here in Los Angeles. Was born and raised in Boulder Colorado - came out here from Boston to attend the Art Center College of Design, which I graduated from in Dec. 2004 - I shoot babies, grandmas, muscle people, fetish girls ..... blah blah blah and three blahs later I've come to the conclusion that a resume on the internet for strangers to question if I'm cool or not is a bit akward ......

  • My Interests

    or rather favorites: Eating, Sleeping, Drinking, Scuba Diving, Traveling, Ling Ling, strippers, sushi, driving ..in the desert, seeing a new movie, watching an old movie, landing in a place I've never been before, deadlines, photography, massage, creepy children, hot nerds, dogs ... but only when they're not mine. fast typing. real dancing. deep breathing. stretching. thinking. humor. babbling bullshit. being socially straight but thinking theatrically bizarre ... . Learning lessons. Drawing conclusions. Finding mistakes. starting over. genuine smiles. classic lines. White wine. Netflix. Aliens. Halloween. That random life I just stumbled upon. The Future. Perception of the past ... and the constant revelation that I should just enjoy the present.

I do not want more "fantasy" friends to add in internet land, only those who I can artistically collaborate with or more.....Cheers.
