About Me

hi. i'm lou. i am a photographer. i run my own business: photography & "digital design" so to speak. hard to explain unless you see it. i do a lot of image editing, restoration work and i also design wedding albums for various photography studios......people have called me 'crazy', 'fun', 'always happy'.......which, when i think about it, is true for the most part. life is there to be lived, you know. i talk a lot. if i have something to say about an issue i feel strongly about. if not, i can be rather quiet. i stand up for what & who i believe in. and i don't give in easily. apparently i'm sort of stubborn but the verdict is still out on that one. i'm leaving for europe on july 15th. first to london, then traveling around germany, spain, portugal & morocco. insert major excitement here. anyway. enough about me, tell me about you :)::WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF POWER THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE::

My Interests

i love music. going to see a good band is top of my list. and traveling. experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. and my friends mean more to me than they know. i love a good roadtrip. and off road racing in the little red lada niva (GO 711!). i love photography. and art in general. and my polaroid camera. i love staying up to ridiculous hours of the morning watching soccer. and tennis. i love learning new things about things. and taking time to appreciate the small things that usually get passed by. i love red wine. and groovy material. i love laughing. and i love the universe. i also love dual citizenship. thanks mum.

I'd like to meet:

groovers. oh, oh, ringo starr. yes. AND marat safin!! and by the way: if you are going to add me to your friends you better communicate. otherwise sod off. you have been warned.::life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right. forget about the ones who don't and believe everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said that it'd be easy. they just promised it would be worth it::..........................................................
