Redefining myself...

About Me

I grew up on Long Island, NY and although I have moved around a bit, I now find myself back in the area again. I have a love for things fast and hope to convey that in my photography. My work has appeared in both print and electronic media from shooting auto advertisements, covers for travel magazines, freelance work with select teams within Formula One, in addition to photos submitted for the US Navy flight demo team the "Blue Angels"...[LOVEMYFLASH][/LOVEMYFLASH]

My Interests

There really are too many to list here and I have my ADD to thank for that... But to name a few, playing the guitar, SCUBA, skiing, photography, and saltwater fly fishing... S2000, s2ki, I guess a lot of outdoors stuff. ;)

I'd like to meet:

People who know how to laugh, love, and know how to have a fun. Who knows, maybe even the woman I will grow old with... Life is too short for anything else. Smile people!View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

Now this is an area that is just too small for me to list my music influences.. I am a guitarist! But I will say that I like everything from classic and progressive rock, to the blues, to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, King's X and anything from Ty, Doug, or Jerry, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Al Di Meola, Parliment Funkadelic and anything George Clinton and... Pretty much music I can feel I guess. Rap I can't really relate to so that's where I draw the line sorry freaks. ;)

Movies:

I have over 300 DVD's.. so again, I have a great interest in film. Too many to list here. But one thing for certain, I am not into the chick flick thing and could never figure out the appeal of Hugh Grant.. I mean the guy picks up transvestite hookers and the ladies still trip over themselves for the fag. What the fucks up with that?

Television:

I really don't watch too much television... I did, however, recently get into this series called "Dexter" which is pretty cool, and I at times catch up on some CSI, Lost, and Entourage... but aside from that, I really don't watch too much TV.

Books:

Recently a friend bought me "The Vegetarian Guide to Diet & Salad" which is interesting because I am not a vegetarian but find it pretty insightful. I am also revisiting "Fly Fishing for Bonefish" - Dick Brown preparation for my trip to Andros Island or Belize to celebrate my 40th B-day. But books in general need to grab me by the jugular immediately or I'm asleep within 5 minutes. Anything by Tom Clancey or Jack Higgins does the trick. But as far as non-fiction goes, "Ayrton Senna: As time goes by" -Christopher Hilton was a great one.

Heroes:

Dr. House

Loss of a friend

My friend Jennifer...   She was a bundle of reserved energy with a smile that could light up the NYC skyline.  The epitome of health, and a professional chef and restaurateur!  She...
