20th Century Viking

About Me

I worked for 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist before burning out. No it was not the patients who caused it. I am now self employed. I run a roach coach for 6 months over winter, for the 6 months I am off I work as Viking. I am co-owner of the Lost Vikings Hoard www.lostvikingshoard.com and I run/coordinate the Ashville Viking Festival www.ashvillevikingfest.com I am the coordinator of a group of Viking Re-enactors known as the Lost Viking Crew http://www.lostvikingshoard.com/reenactors.htm We are a loose net group of like minded folks who love history, and specifically the Viking Life. We are Viking by choice, not Norwegian by birth. We do Historical Reenactment, present to classrooms and Social clubs, and Teach Crafts from days long gone. Our Yahoo discussion group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lost_Viking_Crew/ (you will be screened if you join)

My Interests

Photograpy. I am a semi pro photographer. I have worked weddings, but lately I have been far more interested in portraiture. I like getting that "look" from folks that, for most of the time, is internal. I also enjoy bringing out and capturing peoples fantasy self. Alternative lifestyles, Events (Mother Drum, Summer Set, Ren. Fests. ) and deeply personal portraits are the challenges I enjoy. I have ten years experience as an Art Psychotherapist. I use that to find emotion to bring the image. If you are in the central Ohio area and are interested in a photographer, contact me. I can work out time for prints with you, if you want to do something that will benefit my portfolio.

Books:

Comic books, I like my books thin with lots of pictures.
