Shy Cloud

I'd like to meet:

I AM ON MYSPACE to network with the many talented people who I've actually met in my travels around Southern California. My Top 40 Friends here are all people I've met in person at least once.

I AM NOT ON MYSPACE to find a bunch of pen pals in faraway places. I have many real friends to care about here at home, so I just can not devote much time and energy to building relationships with distant strangers who I'm not likely to ever meet!

I therefore don't accept many friend requests from people I haven't met already in person, so if I don't know you and you send me a request out of the blue, I probably will deny it!

If you also e-mail me and EXPLAIN YOUR REQUEST, however, it will show that you've actually read at least this much of my profile, and that you aren't just sending me a generic friend request. Your explanation might convince me to make an exception and add you.

Music:

To learn about my tastes in music, view the photos and profiles of my friends here. The majority of them are musicians I have photographed or hope to photograph.
