   Don's Blurbs
About me:
I live in 2 distinctly separate worlds. During the day I'm a manager in the aerospace industry and the rest of the time I'm a professsional photographer covering the LA music scene --- everything from major arena acts to emerging artists who play clubs. I also exhibit my fine art images throughout Southern California at various shows throughout the art show season.
Who I'd like to meet:
Kate Bush, Sarah McLachlan, Cheech Marin, Marcus Allen, John Waters, Nicole Sullivan, Charles Osgood (the coolest of the original guys on CBS). I've already met Peter Gabriel on a couple of occasions but I'd love to meet/talk with him again. I think it would also be cool to crack open a good bottle of wine and enjoy some good food with Merrill Shindler.

Don,
It's been too long! Thanks for your comment.
Believe me, even though I'm from Indiana,
I know my style icons. And Helmut Newton
is on my list.
So is Don Adkins.
