About Me

I'm a moving target. I wake up a NEW MAN every morning, by learning the previous day's lessons and changing. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse; but the trend is to CHANGE for the better. I never want things to stay the same! I'm fed up with the status quo and get bored easily.

The meaning of life is: TO BE. Be whatever you are! If you're a pine tree... be the tallest, greenest pine tree ever - the essence of pineness. If you're a man with a vision, then be A MAN IMPLEMENTING HIS VISION! I'm creative, intense, opinionated, compassionate and competitive...I've made several mistakes, but not enough to make a difference. I plan to make lots of HUGE mistakes to BE FREE of child-like desires to achieve perfection... Mistakes are awesome opportunities. So, watch as I throw caution into the fire and make a total ass out of myself ;)

I like people. We're all humans, sharing a common purpose: to survive and BE HAPPY. We're family. I haven't met most of you, my family, and I never will - but I cherish you just the same ;)
I even understand individuals who TRY to screw me over... Not that I let them, but I don't hate them either. I enjoy turning enemies into friends, but not until they've taught me how to overcome my temporary weakness.
I feel alive when someone shatters my perception into a million little pieces... Then, I know I've grown! Children and Old People do this best because they're not concerned with acting "appropriately."

Response to a friend's lament regarding a

I agree with you. Mating is an economic exchange, just like buying a pork butt at the butcher. A man knows the value of the butt, if the butcher asks too much for it, he walks away and look for anothe...

Fine art nudes evoke more than sexuality in my mind...

Horses are beautiful creatures, as are panthers and eagles. None of Gods creatures are ashamed of their bodies except for humans. I find it beautiful and emotionally comforting to behold a n...

Trust and a beautiful mind - a dialogue excerpt

Film vs Digital - Film is better

I prefer film acquisition vs. digital because film sensors (silver halide cyrstals) are arranged randomly - just like the rods and cones in our eyes. Whereas digital sensors are layed out in a grid pa...

Camera Lens Chromatic Aberration Solutions?

I picked up an older 70-200mm Tamron F/2.8 the other day. It suffers from severe purple fringing at the border of high and low contrast areas (even up to F/5.6). I've not seen this with any of my...
