what can i say about me...? i am a consummate photographer...(as u can see; photo by Carmelo Valone). i believe in balance. without the bad, the good is unappreciated. i hope that i live my life well and learn from every ride i get on.... and i think that i have. hmmmm... im feeling rather philosophical today. maybe i should read some Bukowski... guess im feelin drawn to his kinda dirty, raw rantings today.

lately, my life is consumed by my photography... i find myself thinking more and more of my mother.... i feel a part of her soul within me, fueling me.... lighting a fire inside and helping it grow... helping me become a better person with every day that i live. at least, i certainly try my darndest! i am blessed to have had her in my life, if only for a short time... and i would not trade that for anything in the world..
