I'd like to meet:

Other Photographers, regardless of your experience. Also, models (both male as well as female) who are interested in being my test subjects, muhuhahahaa! I'm not looking to make portraits as much as i desire to create expressive art, so a background in drama is helpful.

Formally of St. Petersburg, FL, i moved to North Carolina in 2001, to help take care of my father who was dying with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma. His passing brought to my attention that how short life is, and how precious each fleeting moment is. It's vital to savour each moment, and take it in for all it's worth. Time is so short. This is why photography is important to me.
Bringing a child into the world is truely a miraculous thing. Watching them grow and discover the world really pulls back the veil from your own eyes, and makes everything look completely different. I watched in wonder as my son explored and was amused by every single detail there was around him, things i took for granted every day. How many times does one walk over a sidewalk? Hundreds of time. But have you ever stopped for a few minutes to really examine that small crack? With the little tiny pebbles in it? And that little black ant line, and how hard those little creatures work. A leaf, with each little vein in it, from which stem hundreds of other little veins. This is why macro photography is important to me.
