About Me

I'm Gary and I consider myself to be a simple, laid back guy. I have an interest in architecture, from the history of it to the different styles and everything else. Frankly, I don't open myself to others very much unless I know you personally. I'm a friendly person however and willing to go out of my way to help out. I also tend to be compulsive quite often, which is why I may get a little cocky, no offense intended.
I love sightseeing very much. This area offers a plethora of localities which offer plenty of historical landmarks and modern buildings, which I typically photograph when I get the chance. While cities contain many interesting places, I also like to visit and study the economical icons which people of all ages seem to congregate for one reason or another, and that's the shopping malls, which were originally designed to be a climate-controlled main street for the suburbs in which they are located. I'm also the webmaster for Greengate Mall Revisited, which can be accessed at www.freewebs.com/greengatemallrevisited.
The following Web sites listed below are for my project, the Greensburg-based entertainment complex, Point Fusion.
