About Me


i sWEAT bUTTER
..........(TONY)

i dig good tunes and live music that still sounds musical. i relish in thought provoking art and photography that i can hang on my walls. wine & blogging. www.isweatbutter.com, perfect cups of coffee & cabernet. capturing images of objects that we see everyday, drinking small batch wines and beers with those worthwhile. until recently, scruffy beards were a big part of my life. ipods. gummy worms & mangoes. chapstick & nag champa incense. being happy, getting dirty and laughing. flip-flops & almost frozen orange juice. long discussions about life in general with the ones who know the real me. sunrises on the beach and sunsets anywhere. sand and snow. these are a few things about me; not all of me, but a layer or two...
