About Me

I'm a normal guy in the normal sense - I bathe regularly and don't stink, snore or kick. I'm a self employed photographer living on the water in Foster City, CA. I recently relocated from Santa Cruz. I try to lead an active lifestyle when time permits. Sailing, Motorcycling, Mountain Biking, Rollerblading, Scuba diving, Tennis, Climbing (trees or rocks), Spelunking, Canoeing and any adventure you can talk me into. I went to Burningman for the third time last year - LOVED IT!!! I'll be going again for sure.... I don't know when I will find the time though... I grew up traveling - all over - My Mom was in the airlines - the only way I got spoiled..... I'm creative & artsy - I love to make things, fix things, restore things - That's good too because I build, fly, crash, and rebuild radio controlled airplanes too. My passion is behind the lens... I take a lot of pictures. I'm a whore that way - work and pleasure - I'll shoot anything it seems. I'm open-minded, playful, passionate, charming, genuine, happy-go-lucky, sensitive, caring, supportive, outgoing, intuitive, helpful, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, and even a little flirtatious at times - but it's just because I want to share the excitement of life!!! (damn, that was cheesy) I hope it's not selfish... I'm an only child... but I love people - I get along with just about everyone... I was born on the autumnal equinox - the Cusp of Virgo and Libra. If you know what that means, it fits me pretty good... Astrology can be strikingly right-on huh? Are we humans for real? come on - did someone write the book a long time ago and we're just playing the parts? I wanna play in the scene that ends "....and they lived happily ever after...".

My Interests

I like doing stuff, meeting people and making things. Oh, I like to have fun too. I want to see the rest of the world and eat all the chocolate it has to offer. I like food so spicy that I can feel my hair grow. Other interests include: burningman, active art, sculpture, fire, airplanes, cameras, inventions, light, & soft warm places like my bed. Photography - it's what i do - models, model portfolios, headshots, weddings, events, people, real estate, places, and things. Q: What is your favorite thing to create? A: Dreams - they are the most elusive creation - intangible and as beautiful or frightening as the mind can imagine.

I'd like to meet:

Miss Smartipants, if she's not too busy. You are open minded, fun, active, loving and honest... You are a woman, not a girl... and you know the difference. Can you tell me what is on your mind? You must want to get out of the house and do fun healthy stuff... you like to entertain, and be entertained. You care for yourself - shower at least once a week (more would be nice)... You may also be creative in some way... play, act, dance... a creative colaboration could be cool.... I would love to meet someone who can build a future with me, not just look for my support. Someone to travel the world with me... you should have an IDEA what you like from life and a lover and how to express it... Can you ask for your space when you need it? and respect me when I need mine?
You are now marked on my profile visitor map!

Music:

I like to dance with my eyes closed. It just feels better that way.

Movies:

A Tale of Two Ships

A short movie to be presented to the crews of the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Cheiftan.For those not in the know, the Lady Washington was the same ship used in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" which played the ship "The Interceptor", the ship which Jack and Will steal towards the beginning of the movie.We were lucky that the ship stopped by the Bay Area for a few days, so we were able to grab a few pictures. (Black and white pictures, as opposed to the Sepia ones, were taken by Nortap. This movie was put togther by Nortap.Also, the plane you see in the sky at about 3:18 is none other then Nortap's Radio controlled camera plane! Big Fish, Amores Perros, Baraka, City of Lost Children, Donnie Darko, Garden State, Amalie, spun, Tao of Steve, Pecker... Anything by Tim Burton... most Johnny Depp movies for that matter... cool art flicks... I have been in a few movies too... Rent, XXX - State of the Union, and What's The Meaning of Love... Let's not forget to mention this one I suggest you see... it's my latest favorite... V for Vendetta...
a

Television:

television WILL rot your brain... play online instead. Those pretty lights inside the box amuse you, distract you, and convince you to buy stuff... But I sure do like watching Jim Cramer's Mad Money and Adult Swim content on Cartoon Networkbut if I must watch, it's cartoon network - adult swim... aqua teen hunger force, sealab 2021, futurama, family guy, cowboy bebop ...and.... 6 feet under

Books:

Katherine Dunn - Geek Love, Carlos Castenada - Journey to Ixtlan, Edward Abbey - Monkey Wrench Gang, Celestine Prophecies, Frans Kafka, Albert Camus, Shel Silverstein, Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet, Webster's Dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus

Heroes:

Donnie Darko is my fictional hero. My Mom, Nikolai Tesla, Michaelangelo, the Wright Brothers are some real ones.
