I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a photographer and Heathen Artist now living in the Pacific Northwest. A recluse by nature I prefer having a few close friends as opposed to an entourage of acquaintances. I find fascination and beauty in the decay of abandoned buildings and areas that are being reclaimed by nature and will always seek them out to explore and photograph. For me there is nothing quite like the sound of thunder, exploring forests and woods, crickets, cloudy desolate beaches and the still silence that comes with snowfall. I am greatly interested in the study of certain cultures, ( Romanian, Eastern European/Slavic, German, Native American and Scandinavian), their history, music, myths and folklore.
