About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
Sample portfolios are in the 'View My Pics' section.

I'm interested in the human condition, in the inner life, in sounds, vision, movement and memory. Primarily, I work in the photographic medium with 35mm and medium format cameras.

I have a tendency to remember details. I'm curious. I'd like to know more than I know. And the more you know, the less you know.

They say, "Wherever you go, there you are". I've travelled and lived abroad some: England, Ireland, Eastern and Western Europe, South America, and Canada (so far).

I try to be good to my friends and to understand everyone else.
It's all about connection.

Happiness is dancing.
"Imagination is everything" ~Einstein
(and a good business plan is well worth having)

My Interests

In no particular order: people, stories, art, music, camera, photography, light, travel, water, waves, walking, rhythm, pattern, piano, books, reading, conversation, connection, things that provoke thought, colour, design, culture(s), a sustainable environment, anatomy and physiology, touch, dance, dancing, things that feel, friends, film, language(s), laughter, imagination, ideas, gateways, entrances...

I'd like to meet:


"Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it's there and sitting down

on it"

E.E.Cummings
