About Me

............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................ Check out my photos on my Flickr Page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildlifebiologyguy/ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................ please leave comments if you like my pictures (here or on flickr) - I have just started uploading pics... I have tons of more great shots that haven't made it up yet, so check back from time to time. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................ I just finished my B.S. in Biology. I'm taking a break from school to brew beer and do photography. Eventually I will go to grad school... I'll skip the masters and get right into a Ph.D. program. (probably Genetics). ....or do I just want to say fuck it and be a photographer? I don't know.... I am a photographer and a biologist. I love animals and photography so I have gotten into wildlife photography... or any kind of photography for that matter. I'm also a big fan of music, sports, movies... and science. I hate "big business" and all the rich bastards destroying wildlife habitat for profit. I am an honest guy who gets along with most everyone... I live for the journey, not the destination ............................................................ ............................................................ .......
............................................................ ............................................................ ....... My Rant.LEGALIZE HEMP!!! Big business keeps on hurting the environment and the little peoples pocket books by keeping it illegal. It would destroy the environmentally unkind cotton industry (needs TONS of water, fertilizer, pesticides). It would also provide a source of bio fuel for running our cars... Big Oil doesn't like that. Not to mention that plasics made with hemp instead of petroleum last longer and hold up to stress better... no more replacing hoses or belts in your car... heck tires might last over 100,000 miles. Hemp provides many more products from healthy oil and seed, to soap and shampoo. All from an extremely environmentally friendly renewable resource. -----------------------------------------------------------I f I was Dictator: Oil and Lumber use would be banned and replaced by hemp. Solar power supplemented by other clean alternative energy sources would be implemented nation wide immediately in order to significantly reduce our green house gas emissions. All pesticides currently on the market that are untested for safety (grandfathered in to get around current standards) would be banned until proven safe by an independent committee.

My Interests

I'm your classic "nice guy".... and nice guys finish last. I'm an environmentalist hippy type at heart. Believe me, I want to save the world... but from the people, not for them.... other than that I love wildlife... I am a connoisseur of beer but try not to drink too much. I love photography, I have a nice digital SLR set up. I try to put up new pics regularly so check them out and tell me what you think. .....So, if you need a photographer, check out B & B Creative Photography. I love sports (Lions, Wolverines, Pistons, Tigers, Wings). Hiking and fishing are great. I'm a big science buff, I love keeping up on the latest on evolution. I always enjoy passing on memes to my fellow Homo sapiens sapiens. Oh yeah and racism = ignorance. ...and victimless crimes should be decriminalized.
