About Me


I have been intrigued by photography ever since I can remember and I've only just now been able to pursue it whole heartedly. I'm self taught for the most part. I have found that personal experience is the best teacher there is. I would love to work with those who appreciate all kinds of beauty. Creative minds. Truth seekers. Anyone who is passionate about what they do. I can't imagine doing anything else. This is it. This is sanity.
I may not be the easiest person to read, but once there is a mutual trust I do open up and let people in, and once I let you in I will be the most trustworthy and loyal friend. Loyalty is one quality, for better or for worse, that drives my every decision. I have COMPLETE trust in my intuition...it has yet to fail me. I consider myself to be a free thinker. I believe that honesty is the best virtue that a person can posses...anyone who knows me well would attest to this. I am a very patient person, yet have little tolerance for ignorance. I would never change who I am for another person. I have struggled with personal hardships and with the help of a couple of brave and supportive people, I have come through it a healthy, confident, and stable woman, and for that I am blessed. I know myself...well. I dont believe in luck, good or bad. I've learned that fear is debilitating and too many people look up to those who rule by instilling fear. I love to dance, party, laugh, sing really loud in my car, and have real conversations about anything from philosophy to religion to music and I'm at my best when I am one on one with a person. I want to learn as much as I can about anything I can. There is no topic that I consider taboo.

My Interests

DRAGON LADY: A powerful or domineering woman. A dangerous and seductive woman; a femme fatale

"IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE GOING CRAZY, THEN YOU'RE THE CRAZY ONE."

MAYBE THE MEANING OF LIFE IS JUST TO BECOME A DEEPER VERSION OF YOURSELF.

Photography. Truth. Dissecting peoples lives. I never settle for surface information. Studying anything and everything. Art. Saving lost animals. Encouraging others to find themselves. Strengthening my sixth sense. Discovering kindred souls. Intense conversations with Becky, usually at inappropriate times. Abnormally weird behavior with Elizabeth. Laughing 'til it hurts with Lea. I'll never turn down a debate. Challenges of all kinds. The moment when I realize that someone actually understands me. It's rare.

IF BEING SANE MEANS THINKING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH BEING DIFFERENT, THEN I'D RATHER BE COMPLETELY FUCKING MENTAL!

SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO OUT OF YOUR MIND TO COME TO YOUR SENSES.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. WALK OUTSIDE THE LINES.

I'd like to meet:

I have always been drawn to people who have overcome some type of tragedy or adversity in their lives. I believe there is no greater education than that of personal experience. I'd love to meet more people who are brave enough to be truly vulnerable. In a town full of clones, anyone who stands out from the crowd, is someone who I would like to know.

"PEOPLE NEED TO TOIL AND SWEAT FOR WHAT THEY GAIN...THEY NEED TO BLEED TO TRULY SYMPATHIZE WITH ANOTHER PERSON'S PAIN." -BK

Music:

ROCK 'N ROLL. Classic Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, Hard Rock, Punk Rock, 80's Rock...ROCK.

Movies:

The Peaceful Warrior, Into the Wild, Dan in Real Life.

"IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE, SUCCESS WILL COME EASY."

Television:

I don't have the time or desire for it, except ocassionally for the educational programs like Discovery Channel, History Channel, and SOUTH PARK (yes, I'm calling South Park an educational show!) I can't believe I've only recently discovered the twisted brilliance of Dexter.

Books:

Anything and everything. One of my VERY favorite things to do, either with a close friend or by myself is just hang out at Borders or Barnes and Noble and read for hours...It's my escape. I read a lot of non-fiction. Anything to do with Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Spirituality, Metaphysics or anything "outside the box."

"NEVER LET SCHOOL INTERFERE WITH YOUR EDUCATION." -Mark Twain

Heroes:

Intelligent women, and the men who appreciate them. Those pursuing their dreams without caution.

THE MORE I GET TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE, THE MORE I LIKE DOGS.

My Blog

Age doesn't always equal wisdom...

This came from a 22 year old friend of mine. A friend that, I must say, is unlike most that I come across. For obvious reasons...He is far more aware of what is real than most people twice his age. "A...

The BEST kind of friend. A true hero.

Thank God for those who trust their intuition, even if they have no hard evidence to back it up.There was every rational reason telling you that everything was fine last night, but because you refused...
