About Me

i grew up in the barren wasteland of TX untill i was 13. Following the path put before him, my dad announces, " kids were moving to africa". So off we went to the jungles of johannesburg for 5 years. Much to my dismay we came back to this glorious land of prosper for my senior year of h.s. and then i was off to Angelo State University to spend the next 5 years running the quarter mile, throwing pots, painting nudes, and consuming caffeine. upon recieving my ticket to the real world i packed my bags and went east and just south and then a bit more north and east again to mobile, AL. home of nothing much at'all. There was a trying time where my transmission ceased to function and i was left to fight wanderlust and the panic for having to rely on others for transport. Then the day came. The day my beloved hunk of junk, spartacus was revived. I couldnt stand it a minute longer, i went west to new orleans for some good music, good times and ended up meeing a few good people so i stayed and havent been happier.tamaragraysonphotography.smugmug.com
