About Me

Self taught photographer; part-time goof-ball and full-time smart-ass. Always looking for visual stimulation (yes, I know how to read as well!). Always interested on the input of my subjects as well, at least when the gag isn't in their yap!


..

My Interests

Okay too many: Edgy photography, B&W photos, vintage/retro/pinups, Kustom and custom cars/trucks, Mac stuff, OLD Mexican music, jazz, metal, oldies, classical, classic rock, some country (Johnny Cash?), um, I'll stop now...reading when my eyes aren't looking at my damn Mac monitor doing Lord knows what in Photo Shop. Building my lowrider ('65 Riviera) which will not be a trailer queen, haahaa! Attending comedy clubs with lil' Cupcake. Self-taught photographer, sometimes graphic artist,,,to be continued. Oh, I like Sci-Fi, Horror and anything with an actual PLOT! Pin Up Girl Clothing - Sexy retro creations - dresses , bikinis, shoes, and accessories. Pin Up Girl has great gift ideas, costumes and more!
