About Me

Here's something simple about me. I don't enjoy filling out these things "about me". No matter what one says, it comes across as either trying too hard or not trying enough. Ack! Oh well - here are a couple of basic, basic facts. Dig in for more.I'm the singer / songwriter / guitar player for the band The Critical Darlings. We're based in Athens, GA. You can learn all you might want to know by checking out www.criticaldarlings.com. I'm also a photographer by trade (although, the band has definitely taken up more of my time lately). You can see my photography at www.concertshots.com. Other than that, I guess you can come in and check "me" out for yourself.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet me at 6 years old and me at 85 years old. I'd like to get the three of us together to discuss things. I think I'd be able to give the young me some special insights. I'd like to reconnect with that kid that I sometimes still see in the mirror and I'd like to give him a couple of warnings also.Even more importantly, if the old me is in any way lucid, I'd like to GET advice from him. The three of us can just hang out, listen to music and eat SweetTarts. Well, maybe we'll have to ground up the old man's if he hasn't got teeth anymore. Or maybe he can handle Pixy Stix. Yeah, that'll work.By the way, for those of you who have requested to see these pics, here's a few of the people I've already met in this here fancy, shmancy little slide show! Enjoy and feel free to comment on the photos by going to the photo section! ROCK!
