taking my time, working hard, using Windows and playing with my iPod, gadgets, technology, Nikon, Subaru Performance, easy going people, efficiency, quality over quantity, straightforwardness over passiveness, sharing ideas, growing mentally and emotionally, vintage era, class, outdoors, old houses or places, traveling, jazz, female vocalists, big band, sci-fi, action thrillers, chick flicks that make sense, humor, uncontrollable laughter, tickling my son, being a Dad, being grateful that this list could go on and on... and most of all, Jesus' gift of joy that I find in all these things.

I originally learned the art of photography with film, but digital photography has opened up so many new capabilities for creativity, and I embrace it. I am blessed with a son who was born in 2007; he is the light of my life. I am easygoing and love meeting new people and exploring their ideas. I am easy to talk to, and I enjoy the collaborative process. Although I am mechanically inclined, I pay for my car service. I also enjoy working in my yard. I am a redhead, but age has gotten the best of me. So I shave what remains. I love to love and I hate to hate. I enjoy deep conversations and helping friends come to terms with their lives. I am sensitive, intuitive, and curious. Drama should only be in the movies.
