About me: "" My brightest star's My inner light,
let it guide me
Experience and innocence, bleed inside me
Hallucinogens can open me, or untie me
I drift in inner space, free of time
I find a higher state of grace, in my mind
I'm beautiful, I wasn't born to follow
I live just for today, i don't care about tomorrow
What i've got in my head, you can't buy, steal or borrow
I believe in live and let live
I believe you get what you give
I've glimpsed, I have tasted, fantastical places
My soul's an oasis, higher than the sun
-Primal Scream
....Abstract thoughts. Loves reality and abstract. Intelligent and clever. Changing personality. Loves freedom. Rebellious when restricted. Ambitious. Realizing hopes and dreams....rebel...maverick...black sheep...half punk half hippie. former underground scenester in such cities as new york, chicago, san fran and los angeles. Now is time for a new chapter. Taking in the last 18 years of my life through pictures, songs and memories.Starting a new chapter - moved to San Francisco at the beginning of 2009 - yet another metamorphosis in this strange thing called life. my priorities have definitely changed. it is time again for the death/rebirth of ego. who is it that i am now? what remains unchanged?
What I Do in My Spare Time: photoshoots, creatively collaborating with other artists, trying to figure out each days set of lessons, chilling with friends, dinner at home, dinner out, DVDs (cult movies, documentaries, indies, film noir, comedy, science fiction, drama, foreign), hiking in the woods, biking, camping, meeting new people, daytrippin,(so many places id love to go i havent been yet), reading, taking classes, meeting new people, galleries and museum openings and exhibits, going out occasionally, staying informed, looking at other photographers work, staying inspired, exploring this crazy world we live in and the people that move around me....

Your purpose in life is to express your unique self.
You are a creative and artistic person with an interesting view on life.
Witty and outgoing, you enjoy sharing your crazy ideas with anyone who will listen.
A total social butterfly, you're the life of any party.
In love, you inspire and enchant your partner. You are often an object of fantasy and desire.
