About Me

---------------------------------------------------- All Images below are owned by Visual Communications Inc.
with the exception of the rainbow photos...
A work in progress.... Of course that is exactly what it seems...
that this thing called life is...
A work in progress... It seems it constantly changes...
what I thought once to be true becomes another illusion...
Hell I am not trying to be philosophical here....
OK let me try another approach. ....
Looking for friends, or people that are active and like to move ...
not stagnate... in conversation and in the physical sense.
I love competition from racing to a game of pool ////
...NEWS FLASH////... I am a bad pool player,
I do have a off the wall sense of humor and I am not afraid to
walk up to any one as get to know them...
But in the same sense, I am shy in a sense when it
comes to someone I am attracted to...
On the most part, I love to play in all senses....
I see something funny in most anything. I'm passionate,
I get teary eyes on sad movies, I love all emotions and I am
not afraid to live to the fullest. I am in love with emotion not just motion... I am sensual.
I play like a kid; I have a Peter Pan complex, in that
I dont want to grow up.... But I have been working so much,
I forgot to expand my circle of friends in 20 years
Video Production has consumed my time..
I love what I do but I forgot that there are other things
to do and be the best at... But I digress....
that is it for now... I m going off road now...
I love to track around the desert ( four wheeling)
The picture below...
Here I am (center) with my partners in 1970.
We owned a national candle company and
traveled around the US selling at the National Gift Shows...
I got a lot of experience in marketing... I was 18.
I sold my shares and started
Visual Communications (Film-n-Video) 5 years later. belwo are a few shots from '70,'71 ============

1973 shooting in San Francisco

The picture above is a 1973 shot - on the set of a real low budget movie... I was a bad guy with a big smile..

2006 MySpaceMirror shot .....
DBacks Game My Birthday Sept 2007
I LOVE My Four Wheel Vehicles...
THEY TAKE MY PLACES NO OTHER VEHICLE HAS.....
I have been involved with music my whole life--- 1968-1970
I photographed many of my rock heros in the 60s,70s & 80s -
I own some original pictures of Kenny Loggins ,
Jim Masinia(sp) , Steve Stills, The Beach Boys, Alice Copper,
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and the Doors,
Rolling Stones, I worked with Led Zeppelin,
(actually had to drive Robert Plant to the hospital during
a concert when his throat closed up after the gig.
(Robert, Jimi, and Mark and I were in a Morris Minor
and got extremely high while driven to Good Sam Hospital
it was a wild trip( I did not par-take in drugs too much
then but i was a long hair, and a jock in School -
this was one of the few times i smoked. But if you are
going to smoke pot , why not with Led Zeppelin , right?).
I have this really cool shot of Jim Morrison in front of the
Original Hard Rock Cafe in LA - and some rather awesome
photographs of Jimi Hendrix hanging out a Mama Casse's
house getting high. Some very rare shots of Mic Jaggar
singing with Crosby Stills, Nash and Young, I have been
very lucky to be around during a crazy period in time
In the 80s I filmed the GoGos, Terry Nunn (Berlin)
I wanted to marry her !!!, Debbie Harry ( Blonde),
Jefferson Starship, Missing Persons, Aha, Ringo's All Star Band,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, ACDC, I filmed Stevie Nicks during
her many recording sessions. Amy Grant at that same
studio, Countless concerts for MTV and ET. In the 90s
I edited with U2, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Bowie, Michael Shanker ( MSG),
( I actually threw him out of the studio for hitting his wife.).
on and on . I directed the FUNK JUNKIES Music Video,
97 Produced portions of the Beatles Anthology TV series.
I have 2" Video tape of John Lennon as he was driving across
the US in a Volkswagen Bus. So its been a great life in
the music world... I am a frustrated guitarist and I cant
play very well ,after years of trying ... I just don't have
the rhythm... But I can produce some great sounds
in the recording session.... go figure.... Cheers for now

I really want a larger circle of friends right now... i am happy with who am i am and what I am doing... i am not looking to find someone and live happily ever after... i am very content being in the grand place i am now... single and seeing different people and enjoying life with good friends.... so if you are looking for mate a forever after keep looking. Its not to say that someone would not fall into my space of interest and change all that tomorrow... just that i am not focussing on finding miss wonderful right now...EMotion not motion in a women... ill speak on that after the next paragraph...as far a famous people go....

---------------------------------
Now for the normal ppl like me then-Just a group
of people with the same interests...
Really looking to expand my circle of interest and friends....
I am looking for just good old fashion fun with a twist here and there...
I truly would like to meet people who are active,
make a difference in the world, artists, writers,
creative people, extremely driven people who like to add not follow....
Sensuality in a women,( like i said before) I am looking for is some emotion not just motion.
I like a woman who has her own concepts thoughts and opinions.
good conversation- is not just a wish but a need...
without thought you have no talk.
In a woman - I like the fact she can be exactly who she
wants to be and let loose when she needs to...
and feel confident that everything is OK no matter what...
- Any friend can just be exactly who they really are and not some image of who they want to be...
New News! AS of May 2007 I FINALLY FOUND THE OWNER OF THOSE OTHER FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR

I have learned to love more powerfully than i have loved before.. .
I talk in love . not who is right or wrong in a conflict...
I speak in the space of love ...
This changes how you are BEING when you have those occasional conflicts in your relationship. This is the answer to staying in love... I can not express the joy this added to my life. To knowi how to be an individual with separate thoughts and opinions and still be able to mix those with someone who does not agree with them.... and that someone is your lover......
Being in Love staying in love ... by treating each other with respect.. al all times... not just wen you want something.... in love with your friends as well...NOW my life is consistanatly updating and giving me new meanins...Chapter two in my life since my life shift or transformation in 2002 .....Laurie and I.....are taking things slow and we are learning about each other .... no fast track relationship... we have been together since April 2 2007. My love for her grows each day.... SHe adds to my happiness... I treat her with respect first... we laugh and have god times... she stands for living life happy healthy.... and adds much to my life.... i am blessed.....
