About Me


Photos From my PAW project and some of me too...
I'm a freelance photojournalist and wedding photographer, a father of two brilliantly creative daughters, a loving husband of 20 years to their vivacious full time homeschooling mother. We all live in a nice little cabbage (cabin/cottage) a mile in the woods in the wild western hills of Maine on the back end of our 130 acres.

I'm a loyal friend, an American Celt , a libertarian , a Panentheist Pagan exploring modern Bardic Druidry as it relates to life in the 21st Century, a Freemason , a US Army veteran , I'm quite often kilted , I'm active in local government. I sing a bit, play acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass, bodhran and dabble with a native american flute that I made by hand. I have a Music MySpace for dabbling HERE and I also have a MySpace for my Wedding Business HERE . Other links to stuff that makes up who I am...

Books:

Charles de Lint..."We all need sustenance. The wolf, the puma, the eagle as much as the rabbit, the deer, the salmon. Even the trees and grass require nourishment that's dependent on the lives of others. Nature was never benevolent or fair. But by the same token, we have to live together in this world and cruelty is neither gracious not defensible. So when you take from the bounty that others provide for you, bless their gift, treat it with respect, give it dignity. And always ask before you take, give thanks for what you receive." From "The Onion Girl" by Charles de Lint. Others: Raymond Fiest, Robert E Howard, David and Leigh Eddings, L Srague de Camp, George R R Martin, Robert Heinlein, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams

Heroes:

Hey Tom! WTF's up with having to choose 'Wiccan' or 'Other' if you are Pagan in the Religion section below!? FYI, not all Pagans are Wiccan. In fact, it is very likely that most Pagans aren't Wiccan and I can almost guarantee that there are a HEL of a lot more non-Wiccan Pagans on MySpace than there are Scientologists! (though we aren't as well funded!) :)
I also have a page at: Maine Pagans
