About Me

There is more to Photography than taking a picture!
I like Making them.

Making a picture, to me,
is half mechanics and Half having a perverted and twisted mind.

My Pictures are Lyrics
to the Music
Playing in my head!

My Interests

LOOKING FOR THE SLIDE SHOWS?
DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT
=====

Music:

Damned I love Music! There is just something there that brings an emotion or two to me, for I am a hardened asshole who has been through a lot in life. I have touched by the hand god twice, I have been dead twice, married twice, been shot twice, stabbed once and lived a life with no regrets! Music has always put me in a frame of mind where the words stir something, a memory, a feeling something.... I can't explain it in words. Every song on here, and there is just a shit load... brings an emotion to mind.

When I shoot, I have music playing in my head, (better than voices) its brings something to my hands and my eyes, maybe I tilt the camera or get at some weird angle, but it works. A lot of models always wanna have music playing, what they don't realize is that somewhere, deep inside of me, its already playing, making my mind a lyric!

I started in Photography commercially years ago when as a graphic artist, I was looking at crap. So I brought my own eye to my advertisements and layouts for other people. I have done oh geesh dozens of CD covers for different artists and the photography on them too, I bring my own twisted f'ed up version of thier song to art. I was told, its a gift...LMAO I am gifted, yeah right, I ride the Short bus people, its not a gift, its the music playing inside me.

I did a shoot on August 27th... All the girls love the pictures. Wendy Latta was playing, in me.... I listed her picture below this music box, shes got something that you can feel, just by listening to her... Click and listen!

Control the Music here.... Advance through songs or turn it down..

Movies:

no particular order.... You got Mail, Saving Private Ryan, Liar Liar, National Treasure, Back to the Futures, Die hards, Elizabeth town, Funniest movie I have ever seen.. Baby's day out. Recently, A Lot Like Love, weird ass movie that reminds me of my life. Any movie where the dawg dies saving it's masters life! That will always get a tear out of a man! Forget the movies where the mom dies a sad tragic death, its the Dawg that makes us cry.

Television:

Wendy Latta

Heroes:

My Dad, R.I.P. 2004. I miss you! My Son, yes my son, who continues to live his life with as much gusto as he can! No tmany people in this world would still go on living knowing you could die any second and my 17 year old son does live his life and plans on staying alive! My first wife, who has raised our children into fine young adults! No one better ever tell her!
St. Rita, The Holy Patroness of those in Need!
