    Joel's Interests
General
From my first Kodak Brownie camera to the latest techno imaging gadgets, I've always enjoyed capturing the moment, through photographs. Here's a sampling of personal snapshots, including some performance and travel photos. To view captions, just move your cursor over an image, and click on any photo if you wish to leave a comment.

Music

For starters, here's a short list: Amilia k Spicer, Amy Speace, Big Wide Grin, Bob Hillman, Bright Blue Gorilla, Caroline Lavelle, Cecilia, Chris and Meredith Thompson, Christene LeDoux, Connie Dover, Dar Williams, Darryl Purpose, Don Conoscenti, Eliza Gilkyson, Enya, Grant Langston, Happy Rhodes, Heather Nova, Ingrid Karklins, Jack Hardy, Jane Siberry, Joni Mitchell, Heather Nova, Indigo Girls, Jenny Bruce, Kate MacLeod, Kathleen Wilhoite, Loudon Wainwright III, Mary Coughlan, Loreena McKennitt, Michael McNevin, Monique Brumby, Noa, October Project, Orchid Ensemble, Paula Cole, The Prince Myshkins, Randi Driscoll, Sam Phillips, Sara Hickman, Sarah McLachlan, Steve Poltz, Susan Werner, Suzanne Vega, Tiddis, Tim Flannery, Todd Thibaud, Tori Amos, Wendy MaHarry, Wendy Rule.

To play these songs, first stop the song that is currently streaming in the single stand alone player located above the slide show. Then, click on one of the songs in the playlist below, and press play on the multi-song player.

   Joel's Blurbs
About me:


I love exotic foods, but fresh bread with Rioja also suits me well. Drop me off on any foreign shore, and I'll explore and feel right at home. I can talk to you about acoustic music, songwriting, kayaking, that special moment when the sunlight shimmers off ripples in the water like diamonds, cats that have taught me about love, angels, and secret places in my heart.

No doubt about it. I am passionate about many things. Music and films are near the top of the list, along with travel and discoveries, imaging, history of photography, writing poetry, reviews and commentaries, gadgets, and technology.

In music, I've produced house concerts as well as shows at other venues, and helped artists with bookings, performance and media photos, and commercial web design.

Currently do freelance journalism and write articles about San Diego International Airport.

.. Here's a map showing some of the places that I've visited:



Who I'd like to meet:

The great philosophers and teachers have always fascinated me, Plato, Aristotle, Abraham, Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, John Locke, Sathya Sai Baba, and countless others. Pacifists Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela; scientists Alexander Fleming, Sir Isaac Newton, and Jonas Salk; Renaissance artists, including Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Sandro Botticelli; political luminaries Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Marshall, Benjamin Disraeli, and Abraham Lincoln, of course; great women photographers including Julia Margaret Cameron, Margaret Bourke-White, Tina Modotti, and Annie Leibovitz; and people who have always struck my fancy and imagination, such as Shoeless Joe Jackson, Will Rogers, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Nanci Griffith, Joan Baez, Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and many others, including all of my friends here on MySpace.
