About Me

recently i've been up to the top of one great big tall flagpole waving it high and mighty for everyone to see while the sun shone warmly across my smiling freakin face..."look at your face"... and i've been down in the deep dark nighttime searching the shadows eagerly for a smile, a smile and a hand, a hand to take me and lead me right up out of the back of my head and into the real big thing thats happening right in front of me.i'm addicted to trees and sunlight, to dance floors and mysterious women, to scratched surfaces and paint, to late nights followed by early mornings followed by late mornings, to the sounds of beauty and laughter, to debate, to ramming my face full force through the smooth, shimmery surface of mountain entrenched lakes and the view from a snowy peak right before i ride top speed to the bottom. i can live without ketchup, agressive behavior and one night stands.check out some of my photography at : http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/oottam47/my_photos
