If Mary Had A Little Lamb, Who Was The Father ?

About Me

Hiya from The Bahamas. :) I am a 32-year-old photographer and writer/poet currently living in The Bahamas. I am also a digital music producer and you can check out some of my tracks at www.myspace.com/mybahamasmusic or at my page www.acidplanet.com/mybahamas . I enjoy my family, my country, my craft and my life ... enjoy yours, too :)P.S.: I am also trying to build up a list of people who are writers, photographers, Clark Atlanta University Alumni (1994-1998), in the performing arts, possible full-figured or international models, love bossa nova or Jobim or are Bahamians. If I added you as a friend and you didn't know why, there it is :)P.P.S.: That doesn't mean that I am still not interested in meeting interesting, fun people from around the world. A love of music, photography or poetry might get you a wave from The Bahamas :) lol
