About Me

"CLICK THE BANNER ABOVE TO GO TO MY MODEL MAYHEM PAGE"
"OR"
"CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO GO TO MY MODEL COAST PAGE"
Extremely short bio: Im a singer, songwriter, poet, drummer, (so-so pianist), and photographer.
The slightly longer version: I started singing at age 4. I began pecking out my own songs on piano at around 10 or 11 and started playing drums seriously at 15. I have been in many bands; some original, some cover and recorded an album with a band called LIQUID SMOKE which made the charts in 1970. I am a published writer, having written album reviews and interview articles for MODERN RECORDING MAGAZINE. I am also a published photographer. I began doing head shot, portfolio and rock concert photography in 1974 and shot serveral covers and articles for MODERN RECORDING MAGAZINE. I now have gone digital and am once again doing headshots, portfolio work and events such as fashion shows. I also work with Photoshop CS2 for retouching and for Artistic photo-manipulation.

If a picture tells a thousand words, here's a few thousand more words about me:
