My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet fellow photographers, blues lovers, musicians, artists, creative souls, wandering souls, hippies...beatniks...metalheads...soulsters... thrashers...rastas... as long as you are passionate about what you do and what you do leaves a lasting impression on the hearts and MINDS of your audience. People interested in the EXAMINED LIFE.

If you would like to be added as a friend, I would be most flattered, but please, leave me a comment or send an e-mail as to what led to you click "add to friends". A comment or even criticism about my work, info about other artists, info about you... I don't want to amass a list of silent masses but a vocal community of art, music and culture lovers. I want to hear from you!

My motto,
as I live and learn
is:
Dig And Be Dug
In Return.

Roots and Blues Festival
Parma, Italy

21 pieces of my work were selected to show at the Roots and Blues Festival in Parma Italy this past June.
