About Me

About me: Well, I love to travel. I know everyone says that, but I really do. I think I'm at my happiest when on a long road trip out west. I make my living as a photographer and Iâ€™m currently a student. I read a lot, I donâ€™t watch much TV, but I donâ€™t mind a good movie from time to time. I love animals; I have a wonderful pup named Quinn that pretty well goes everywhere with me. I enjoy the diversity of culture, cool pubs, and good live music living in the city provides, but I need to escape all the concrete often. I love sunshine and nature and need to be in it as much as possible.

My Interests

photography, backpacking/hiking, paddling, wildlife, just stuff outside

Music:

all the way from bluegrass thru punk

Television:

don't have one and I'm sure I'm better off for it

Books:

Anything by my mentioned heroes, but a couple must reads are: Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris.

Heroes:

Edward Abbey, Edward O Wilson, Desmond Morris, John Muir
