Timothy

I'm a kick in the snare I'm a boom in the bass. What more can I say, I can't feel my face.

About Me

I guess I'm pretty much a cyberpunk, yep. I like buying things-mostly technology-oriented gizmos. Things like: digi-cameras, loud stereo toys, gasmasks, laser pointers, samurai swords, Apple G5 computers, shit like that.Oh. I really, really, really like to travel call me an urban backpacker if you will. Often times, just passing by a hotel, motel, hostel or whatever-I stop and daydream about being there. As a matter of fact, I'd rather be just about anywhere else right now. I fucking love finding my around a new city and have a pretty damn good sense of direction in dozens of cities.I have around 30 logged scuba dives, almost all in the tropics. The best dive I went on was in Cozumel at a depth of about 120'. Your eyes get used to the light and it's an underwater paradise. The dive was on a wall which went straight down [likely] miles deep. It's absolutely fascinating to explore and you don't want to leave (but you have to quickly).Magazines are my passion! I read at least one a day. Shhhhh don't tell Borders. Hmmmm. Clubbin'. Yeah, I go out once in a while. Ya know-discotheques, cocktail lounges, wherever is close by and well-stocked. And then in the morning I frequent the area coffeehouses. I really need a lot of stimulation to get going during the day and dark-roast coffee does a fair job of providing the kick.I don't know anything about making movies. But, I do know that I could easily mix a movie soundtrack and keep an updated list of tracks that I would use. If the film and offer is right for me, I will happily mix your soundtrack for you.The first band I ever saw live was Hüsker Dü in 1985. I was 14 years old and I remember stage diving, slam dancing, and trying to remember not to kick kicked in the head by any combat boots. Holy hell that woz a long time ago.Did I mention that I collect inkjet paper? I have no less than 20 types of paper sitting around. Everything from adhesive CD labels, to 11x17" photo glossy, 100% cotton rag, glossy, matte, satin, I need it all. I never run out because when I'm low on a particular paper I run out and buy more. I love it!I'm a professional photographer with work published in magazines and regularly exhibited in art galleries. One of my specialties is developing model portfolios. E-mail or call for my rates, and don't hesitate to ask for references. I'm really easy going, but just don't bring fur to a shoot, because fur sucks.Webbysites: ModelMayhem.com , TimothyHughes.com .
