I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like bagels. I hate chickens and turkeys.

I am a photographer. I take pictures of bands, kids, and houses, and almost anything else you can think of for a living. If you need some pictures taken, email me.

My Interests

knitting, anime cover bands, bagels, cartoons, the chase, culture, haikus, kittens, little people, photography, pickles, subversive puppet shows, religion, shoes, bad television, tonkas, ugly babies, weird monuments, zebra cakes, mug shots, men who can cook, debate without reason, alternative sleeping schedules, ironies, regional dialects, pirates, broken hearts, new governmental and market systems, dichotomies and junxtapositions (most especially love/hate relationships), other people's obsessions and general angst, fairness, existential crises and tetris-like situations.

I'd like to meet:

The Tooth Fairy, PeeWee Herman, Snoop Dogg, and Father Time. I certainly wouldn't kick Alton Brown out of bed for eating crackers.

I like to hang out with laid back people and anyone associated with the side-stream. I especially like hippies, metal heads, punk rockers, emo kids, and the like, as I find them the most amusing.

Tell me that's not sexy, I dare you."; .
