Update: 11/01/2007Planning on returning to Toronto in the new year. I am looking forward to returning to my home town to live for the 1st time in almost 20 years. America has been good to me, but I'm getting out before the bottom falls out. Not sure it hasn't already. So all you guys in TO be sure and say hi. Looking for some biker buds to ride with.Ok where to begin here...I was a pro photographer for 20 years, the last 10 working for all the gay erotic mag.s (yeah I've seen lots of d**k), had a book published in 2000 (google John Phillips Photorotic), is out of print now. Before that was in the fashion and advertising world. I've lived in London, Paris (80-84 long tme ago...yeah I'm old), the to my home town of Toronto. Then LA in 89 till 93 and then NYC till 2000. Been in FL since then. Had a few long terms relationships (one 6 years, the other 10). They were great but all in the past and part of the journey. I live my life with no regreats or judgements (this way I can't be judged). Am a survivor (19 years and doing great)The "journey" has me sober (friend of Bills 3 years ask if you don't know) and working as a Realtor here in Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood. Real Estate has been good to me, we'll see what the future brings there. I have an amazing house, with a huge yard that I am far too attatched to. Its were I put all my creative energy now. I'm very handy and have learned that I can build furnature(OK maybe I'm just cheap and don't want to pay anyone to do what I can...its a Canadian thing). I have a big dog 70lb(Weimerarner). I still take pix and hope to take more in the future, being creative is important, also been doing some paintings...am doing lots of experimenting lately....feel that I am about to re-invent myself again.I have traveled to most places around the world (long storey) not a huge priority for me anymore. I love the beaches here, espcially Haulover Beach (love that latin flavor). I hate these long profiles and here I've gone so I'm going to stop.
