About Me


Before you ask - My nickname, "Skinny Minny" was given to me by Steven Tyler one Labor Day Weekend, and it just kind of stuck. I don't go around calling myself that. Nor do I try to be skinny. It's genetic.

I was born and raised in my hometown of Manchester, NH. I enjoy going to concerts, but Aerosmith is my favorite band. There really are no other bands that compare. I have traveled and made many friends around the world because of them. Aerosmith is my one little diversion, the treat I give myself to keep things interesting. My experiences could fill a book.
I'm a photographer and writer. I see something through my camera lens that I do not see in person; there is a whole different world there in "the box with the hole in it" - which is what a camera really is when you break it down. You can see what I do at my website; I've posted a link below. I mostly photograph children - black and white - and I hand color the photos with paint. I've photographed rock bands, political candidates and anything else I'm asked to shoot. It's my ultimate creative expression.
MY WEBSITE:
PHOTOS BY LISA
I have written for websites, newspapers and magazines, mostly about New Hampshire, recreation, entertainment and travel (but I have written on other topics too like poker, a subject that I knew nothing about until I did some research).

I work for the arts and entertainment website of a newspaper as a web editor and content writer. It's my dream job and I love every minute of it!
