I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



i love anything that makes me laugh. i think laughing may be what people remember me by, plus my smile, or so they say... i am perpetually stuck in the past as is evident by my vintage clothing, my love of classic romantic comedies and my desire to save historic buildings. my ultimate dream is to restore a queen anne victorian and entertain on the front porch every night. one of my regrets is that it took me this long to discover that photography is really the art that suits me best. it combines the artistic and technical sides of my confused mind.

check out some of my photography!
