About Me

If there was money to be made in going on lengthy walks down WestCliff or New Brighton with my ipod, well, that's where I'd be. As my luck would have it, there is not. So I moved to Utah, which is pretty swell too. From here on in, I prefer to let photographs and fashion icons do the talking. Cheers.
