I keep a constant balance of the things in life that I enjoy the most.
Art: I love any piece of art that takes me at least eternity to make. I gain a lot of compositional and contextual inspiration from my private orchid collection as well as my general surroundings. It's all a visual diary on the philosophical level.
Women: There is nobody like Ashlynn!!
Motorcycles: God damn, I love my Beemer. And low-side falls are financially suck-ass.
Wine: My favorite wine is wine I haven't tasted yet, but Domain Chandon's Pinot Meunier rocks my socks.
Orchids: The scarier the better. I gravitate towards the ones that look harmful yet elegant. Currently I'm growing one of a kind hybrids.
People worth their salt.
