CURRENT MISSION

I like trees and clouds

ABOUT ME

A fabulous dichotomy born to an artist and an engineer. I follow reason but fancy the whimsical. I thrive to understand but admire the incomprehensible. I work in technology but pine for the days of lore when men wore hats and cars looked cool.

I am calm, curious, and happy.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a nice place. Life is a good idea. Death and love are moving items.

Music, Movies, and Books

A bit of everything, though I'm very particular.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A woman in New York saw me with my camera and asked if I would take a picture of her. I got up close and she said, "The best pictures are up close." She was a beautiful women. The picture turned out great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: bike mechanics, how to draw, how to take a good photo, how to use a darkroom, computer skills, freedom.

I want to learn: how to teach, how to dance, Spanish, love, all the rest.

I can share: my thoughts, my fridge, my supplies, a drawing, a little bit of time, a good idea.
