About Me

Just a normal guy from southeast Wisconsin. I am a photographer by trade, owning my own photography business. You can see my pictures on my web site. http://www.dougraflikphotography.com.I live for thunderstorms. Winter is a hard time for me. During the spring and summer I can be in any given state at any given time chasing a thunderstorm and taking pics of it. I work part time as a server at Applebees. I make my money doing weddings but will take pics of anything interesting. I am a very "planned" oriented person, but LOVE spontanious situations. I LOVE animals. If you put me around a cat or dog, everything around me stops. I watch very little tv, but if one is on in the room I am in, and is easily viewable, I cant take my eyes off it. I am very easy going. I have strong faith in God, and talk to him more than anyone else in my life, but am not one of those "Jesus freaks" type of people. I enjoy learning what I can from the bible, and try to live as wholesomely as I can, but do not push it on others. Music is my best friend. Anytime I need it, its there. What ever mood I am in or want to feel dictates what songs I listen to.I can get along with everyone, but choose to let few get close to me. I will distance myself at times from people I know, but they shouldnt take offense as it is nothing personal. Sometimes I just want to be alone.I have no kids and have never been married. I am a very unique person, and am pleased and proud of who I am. I do whats in my intrests, and not what people think is right, or normal. Sometimes this makes ME look like the weird one, but in reality, the person that is afraid to do what they want because of what others will think, is the weird one to me.
