About Me

Here goes.... I am... a man!!! A responsible parent!!! My daughter & I are together most of the time and she will always come before anyone but myself... That being said... I do indulge in life's small wonders. I travel when I have the opportunity (2-3 times a year). My companion & I (my camera), are always out and about, capturing "the seen but not noticed" pleasures in life. I freelance as an illustrator, specializing in panoramic photos.. Photoshop & I are usually up till 4 in the morning, working on different projects. From books to magazine ads, album covers to photo restorations... During the weekdays I work in an afterschool program. I've been working with kids for 24 years. ( I only have enough energy to do it part-time, while still giving my daughter enough time and energy...) I am an intellect.. My brain is on overdrive until I go to sleep... but I do try to take time to just sit and do nothing.. but those days are far and few between... But no complaints.. 'Pa lante' (onwards) New York born and raised, with a Latin cultural up-brining... I expect a lot of myself, so I expect a lot of the people around me, and please don't ask me a question unless you really want to hear an honest answer... I am confident, patient, an educator and a student... I'm also a comfortable person.. I'm not into fashion (been there done that) casual is my thing... I'm not looking for a wife or a mother for my daughter... I'm here to network, meet some new people, chat and maybe even hangout... My schedule is always very hectic but I make time for what is important.. and my friends are important... I'm not a religious person, but I am very spiritual.. I have come to terms with reality, now reality is my companion. So everyday is a beautiful day... I can't waste time feeling guilty for the mistakes I make in life... I can spend that time learning from the mistake... I can guarantee you have never met someone like me, and if you have, and they are not one of the closest confidants in your life, then you might not want to contact me... but if you enjoy progressive thinkers that encourage the people around them to be independent thinkers, while becoming better today than they were the day before.
My passion for photography has introduced me to some of the most diverse people you could ever meet and it has also taken places that I would never have gone to. I am always out with my camera in my bag.. Always looking to capture a moment in time.... I love to photograph nature. It takes me to a place of complete bliss... I can sit at the base of a waterfall or climb mountains and become one with my surroundings... It is very difficult to describe but if you ever get the chance, go out and just sit... Look at the sunset or just listen to water flow... no phone no 2-way no laptop just you and nature... then you will know why I do what I do... My other passion, is caturing people doing what they do.. An action shot, a moment in their lives when they are so involved that they do not even notice that I'm photographing them... For a look at some of my photography check out some of my blogs... If there is anyone looking to get new images for their portfolios, I am willing to do some TFCD's.. I am not a studio photographer.. Too boring for me.. but we can go out and catch some natural shots, with you and whatever is around... Working on a new website... I will let the world know when it's up and running... My passion for imagery has taken me into photo editing.. I'm always working on images.. restoring, creating, enhancing... I just love capturing a moment in time... Even if I have to create it.... Please feel free to contact me is you are looking for some photos, restoration, touch-ups or any questions on what I do...
Graffiti.. Damn where do I start... I've been doing it for almost 30 years... The artform has allowed me to travel around the US, soon to include Europe and a few other countries... No more illegal graffiti for me.... All legal... My crew and I (The Wallnuts) paint canvases, commissioned walls private and public, helmets, clothing basically on anything... We have been featured in books, magazines, DVD's, newpapers, TV shows, we've displayed our art in museums, galleries, stores and always looking to move the culture to new levels... I have one of the largest graffiti sites on the web. www.deepinsidethemind.com featuring thousands of artist from all over the world... If you are interested in contacting us about work or just want to ask questions about the culture and art, just let me know...To be continued......

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those that are progressive thinkers and enjoy the outdoors... Basically if you can't be a positive influence in my life our my daughters, then it is very doubtful I will make the time to carry someone's baggage or have someone teach my daughter how to be stuck in the ripples of time, thinking about being 'so-called' famous or getting rich... I really have no time for blind ignorance, (in other words if you know you have to do something, but don't get it done because you don't feel like doing it... for example.. short term pleasures, for long term pain..) If you are the type of person that spends hours during the week grooming yourself, to what you think the person that looks your way, wants to see and you think shopping is a hobby, than you and I might not have much in common...but it doesn't mean we can't chat and work out some business...
Models, photographers, editors and anyone else in the multi-media field...


Music:

I love Underground House, real Disco (not that radio stuff) and Funk-Jazz are my preferred choices of music but I pretty much listen to everything.. except country.. and I don't really listen to Rap (Very little Reap artist move me these days)

Movies:

Not a big movie buff... I like movies that make me think and have a twist...

Don't watch much of it.. but I am a sports junkie... and I love watching Discovery channel, Science channel, some Sci-fi stuff.. I love the new technology...
