About Me

If you are here, welcome and thanks for choosing to be a friend. As a Photographer, I tend to meet many people. with each Photo session. I do my best to make each person feel special, When I see the smile on thier faces after they see the finished product I know I made a friend for life. My thought on friends is that you can never have enough. Especially when you travel to places unknown. There is nothing better than being able to call up or write a friend, knowing they will be there to make your journey much more special......

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Art, Surf, Photography, Music, Creative Writing and more. My Images are looked all over the world on the internet. With Over 183 Million requests, and estimated 30,000+ hits a day. I don't like "pop-ups" so my site has none.
Allot of Students have stopped by and see how many places have visited madmexgear.com. In my "World" section they are able to see and gather information on different countries around this big blue marble. We have even had Browsers stop by just to see how thier Country is doing. (If yours is not up there let me know)
For those that wish to speak with thier federal congress. I added locations to find the Senators and Representatives that are up on the hill. Voting on legislation that will change how some things are done. (And If they are not doing the job, as thier boss it's time you let them go. Remember to Vote in November )

I'd like to meet:

I have lived all over the place in the last 20 Years. The List Includes
California (East LA, Whittier, Downey, Hacienda Heights, LaVerne, Anaheim, Fairfield, Oceanside)
Nevada (Las Vegas)
Spain, (Torrejon, Alcala, Madrid)
Germany (Landstuhl)
Washington, (Spokane)
Okinawa (Kadena)
Hawaii (Honolulu, Pearl City, Mililani)
Saudi Arabia (Riyadh)
Kuwait
New Mexico (Alamogordo, Albuquerque)
and I have traveled to many more pleces to visit. Each Place I have met good people that have become good friends. The images below and the links are from photo sessions I did with them.....

Music:

I'm open to most music as long as it doesn't involve cursing all the way though it. Different types of music for diffierent moods. I even put pieces together .......

Movies:

I like movies that take full advantage of the big screen....Show me some imagination and thought.......make me go "wow" after the last credits have risen. I like movies that make me wonder, and look to see where this idea came from.....

Television:

What is "Good Television" anymore? To inform? To Enlighten? Bring a moment of Humor?
Over the last decade (maybe two) The box that transformed the way people see the world has gone through several changes. In 1969 when an Astronaut first stepped foot on the moon, we all sat and watched as each moment was shown.
During Vietnam, T.V. changed the way War would be seen forever.
Variety Shows came and went, brilliant moments of Comedy, and Drama, gave way to "Reality Programming" .....
But what is next to change? Will Cable give way to "Direct Laser" or will it hold until the bitter end.
Will Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) finally get tossed out for Organic Crystal Displays costing a fraction of a current T.V. and exceeding the size by threefold? (OCD is still being worked on)
Imagine the possiblities.......

Books:

5 People You Meet In Heaven...
1,000 Years, 1,000 People....
How Chance and Stupidity Have CHanged History....

(Highly Recommended for any Military Member that has a service connected Disability)

Heroes:

A Hero is not Not a Movie Star......It is a person (or Persons) who does something that takes so much from themselves to help or try to help others. Dr. Martin Luther (Not who your thinking) can be added to this list for what he did. He change the world by going against the Big Dogs. The United States would not be the nation it is if it weren't for him. (Heck Allot of Nations would not be as they are if it weren't for him) All because a Monk in Germany wrote down the one book so that eveybody could read it....the first was German, then it was translated to many languages. You may have one in your house......It's called the "Bible". That took so much guts to do this......but even today we do not know the whole story of what happened so long ago.........
