I sing, I dance, rock n roll. A little *update* about myself...
I am a photographer who started very seriously in May 2007 when I bought my DSLR without any experience or help what so ever. My first concert with it was the Hottest Chicks in Metal tour when I went to NYC. Since then I have been lucky to have shot many other great concerts and bands. It started with the help of Esteban Medaglia, editor of the biggest Argentinian metal magazine "Maelstrom". Now I'm shooting and writing (though I prefer strictly to shoot) for Somber Magazine (an independent American metal magazine). You can find my first published work in the October 31 issue of Somber where I wrote about the female Dutch movement and there you can find several live photographs I took of Within Temptation, Epica and After Forever (all in 3 different states). I am also looking to expand my portfolio more and am in contact with other magazines that may be of use to me. And though I love to be behind the lens, I love also to be infront. ;)
I am a promotions manager at the only store in Florida dedicated 100% to heavy music and merchandise. You can check the official myspace at www.myspace.com/metalmusicdistribution . We are always looking for partners to trade links so if you have a zine, store or even band, please contact me about it.
I am lastly, a poet . I write many poems and collect them all in hopes that someday I will publish my own book on poetry. Perhaps even add some of my photography work in it. Who knows. Besides Shakespeare, two lyricists who really inspired me were Tuomas Holopainen and Dani Filth.
I am trying to find the right musicians to form a project with elements of all genres of heavy metal. I sing (I don't scream) and would like a heavy combination of technical death metal, thrash, symphonic metal with a tint of power, little "black" and of course, progressive. This is impossible to find in my area as many musicians are not into the idea of this style, have already a band or aren't nearly as dedicated to being in a band as you think. Even if on the net - having something would be nice as I don't like my dreams to go to waste.
More hobbies of mine include traveling (I want to see all of the world), culture, language, astronomy, learning about animals, live concerts and computers. I like to read books about psychology and reincarnation. My favorite book is from Brian L. Weiss called "Many lives, Many masters". I don't know what else to say, because I don't think anyone has time for all of this reading. ;)
Who I'd like to meet:
Photographers and bands who need female vocals. Pretty much anyone with a sense of humor, common interest and can keep a conversation. Otherwise, I have my amazing friends and family and have met many people who have inspired me.
