The Only Thing I Represent Is Myself.

About Me

The two things that I respect more than anything are intelligence and honesty. When choosing friends or perspective mates, those two attributes are the first things I look at. I have no respect for liars nor do I have any time for them. I love film and work as a Resident Lighting Technician for a Production House. On the side I make time to do my own documentaries. I'm also vegan and have been doing it for over a decade. More than that, you'll just have to take the initative and find out. It's always rewarded back.

Jason vs The Kenyans

I forgot who said the quote but I can see him saying it clearly in my head.  It's a black and white image of a man standing at a podium.  The shot is a medium close-up at a 45-degree angle.&...

My Personal Grey's Anatomy
