About Me

Well lets be serious here for a moment. Right. Ok. Photography is my life. It consumes me everyday, every hour, every moment. I am always thinking about my work as life is art and the moments that pass by into memories become ideas for my photographs. I love taking pictures, I am always looking for new models, male and female. I like using myspace because I am utilizing the networking to meet new people to model for my work. I am going to graduate school in the fall. I got into Columbia and am very excited to be moving to a big city to exploit my work to a broader audience and to people who can afford to pay for art! I am kinda quirky and sometimes OCD when it comes to my life and my work. I am a worry 'wort and tend to over anaylize situations sometimes too much. I have a wierd sense of humor, but am very trustworthy and true. I hate fake people and liars and fake boobs and plastic truths. I love The Smiths and Alfred Hitchcock. I want to be famous someday, and if you are interested in getting a picture taken by me then let me know. I cannot promise I will use you, but it is worth ask for. ;) I am addicted to BK Cheesecake right now. I also like Steak n' Shake Frisco Melts....gossh! I constantly quote movies on a daily basis and love how dumb Napoleon Dynamite was. I hope they make a sequel someday. I go onto myspace about 14-19 times a day. It is my crack. I am always thinking about making new artwork. I like to paint and screen print. I have worked on a few independent films this year and love working with video and lighting. I have a jack russel terrier and she is a queen. We named her Bella which is Italian for "beautiful". I am Italian, but do not have the temper. I like to consume. Ice-Tea (Arizona), Gatorade, Powerade, Water and Guiness or Amstel Light. I am a taurus and smoke cigarettes. I wear deoderant and don't have halitosis. I thought Sin City was a great movie and love comic books. I like to read and have 7 different book shelves filled with books. I am a big movie buff too. I love the 1950-1960's time period. The 80's is good too, but only until 1984. After that it got really cheezy. And yes there was a gap in the 80's of coolness. I used to goto clubs and dance and drink all the time, but it got really old a few years back. I am getting old, but look really young. I get carded for beer still. I am listening to B-52's right now. That was my third concert I went to. Back in 1992. Yea...
