I'm a photographer and all around computer junkie. My portfolio and many photos of mine can be seen on my website www.EKREATING.com . If you are interested in having photos taken of you, your family, your business, your band, or am just interested in me or my work, MESSAGE ME.

You can find my work at my photography company's website started in January, 2005. There are over 4,000 photos on the site and always more to come. I am out working just about every week in Detroit and Toledo, and any other place that my travels take me. Within the last year I have worked for clients in NYC, Miami, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Atlanta, Detroit, Windor, and a few other places that slip my mind. I have a wide range of clients from real estate agents, commercial developers, Auto Detail company, Hair Salons, Clothing Label, DJ's/ Producers, Bands, Nightlife Production companies. Much of my nightlife work is done for Clubplanet Nightlife which is owned and operated my Track Entertainment from NYC.

I'm a very outgoing guy that loves to experience life and everything it offers. There's a lot to see, learn, and do and I'd love to make the most of it. I have a a few things that make me the happiest and true passions. I love music and the vibe that goes with it. Staying in shape is very important, since I need the high energy level to do everything I do, and I stay in shape by running almost every day. I just like being around people and meeting new people. There is so much more to me I am better with the camera than I am a writer .

My Interests

Didn't I just type a bunch of this. I love Electronic Dance Music (EDM) , Women, Technology, Loving Life, Friends, Family, Clubs, Photography, Nature, Travel, Making money - but I am not self centered. There is so much more too much, but that is a start.

I'd like to meet:

People who frequent the Detroit and Toledo music scene. Models, Clothing Designers, Business owners, or just about anyone interested in photography. Fun, Vibrant, Postitive people.. Anybody with the same interest in related genres of music, fashion and intelligent conversation. Basically people who travel in the same circle.... or are at least open minded. Lets work together is make this thing happen for me and YOU.

Music:

One of my my biggest passions in my life is music and the vibe it brings. James Zabiela is my favorite DJ and producer but there are many great artists, DJ's, producers, and groups. House, Techno, Breaks, and most EDM. Old Skool Rap and Hip Hop . My favorite two bands of all time are the Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine, but I have influences and love to listen to Depeche Mode, G Love, and just many others , Richie Hawtin, Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Chus &; Ceballos, Digweed, Steve Lawler, Sasha, Danny Tenaglia, Josh Wink,Demi, Luciano, the entire Paxahau crew David Guetta, And then of course there's the bands, old faves and influences that I grew up on and will never stop listening to- Smashing Pumpkins, , U2, Outkast, , Jamiroquai, Radiohead, Portishead, Madonna, Stereo MC's, . and the list goes on and on. But I really dislike most top 40 and the recent crap that is played on the radio and MTV. I can't stand the Ghetto fabulous artists and rappers.

Movies:

I like to laugh so I watch comedies mainly. I like some of the old favs like Caddyshack, Stripes, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Monty Python and the Holy Grail , but some other darker comedies like Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and then there are movies which i grew up with and will always like Goonies, Ghost Busters, Star Wars - most of them, . Then there are others I just like because they are good movies - Sling Blade, aahhh there is just so many.

Television:

I don't watch that much TV, but when I am working on my photography and editing on my computer I usually have the radio or TV on. But I do try to watch a few shows if I have time. A few newer shoes I like are 24, Prison Break, Over There, and then one shoe that has been around for forever is Law & Order- there is like many different versions, and then I also like to laugh so I watch Saturday Night Live, I love the old ones.

Books:

I don't read allot of books, but I do read to learn and influence my life in a positive way- Motivational Books, Photography books, Computers , Technology, But I do like to read music mags like URB, REMIX, etc.

Heroes:

My Grandfather, since he passed away when I was young and I loved hanging out with him. I like people who push the boundaries on life. Albert Einstein, Ansel Adams, Hero is a strong word.
