My daughter, who teaches me the importance of being inquisitive, having patience, love and understanding..

Honesty, genuine people, and insightful conversations..
Letting my mind wander, untouched by programmed thoughts..

I am struggling to stay afloat in a sea of introspection.. The crashing waves cleanse me of my sorrow, leaving me withdrawn and introverted.. The light that I seek is just beyond my grasp.. I am transforming.. Breaking old habits and forming new ones. Once a sinister sheep, and now a shepherd who speaks only with an honest tongue.. Everything in life keeps me balanced. A chaotic night at work is sometimes necessary to better appreciate the quiet days spent at home. Knowledge to me is freedom. I thrive on philosophical ideas and thought provoking conversation. One might say that I am socially inept or awkward. I find strength in silence and the squawking chickens don’t interest me. Even still, there is a lot to be learned from human interaction, experiencing and witnessing it. Everyone has a story and you haven’t the slightest idea what that entails. Smiling is an incredibly effective tool and you'd be surprised how it can turn a day around in an instant. Life is short and an enemy without cause is a possible friend. Remember that there are three sides to every story.. Yours, mine and the truth. Discover your blind spots and take a breath of honest air.
As I evolve, I learn to control my thoughts. One’s darkest hour will reveal barnacles we never knew existed. There’s beauty in a breakdown.. Cold sweat that brings clarity. People tend to put on a false face of optimism even as their legs shake beneath them.. Running on the squeaky wheel in a mirror maze, steadily going nowhere but the material world... The programmed mind is distracted by its own image. Life is an illusion and my biggest obstacle is myself..
Nature always recharges my battery without fail. I enjoy wandering through places unaffected by civilization. I love the sensation of walking in the rain with bare feet… and hiking under the night’s sky. Photography has become an outlet of mine. I've realized that art is a perception, life is an adventure, love is real, and beauty is everywhere. Music has always been my passion, my weapon, my sanctuary, and my constant companion… My earliest memories are of me singing and I've never stopped..
I believe Simplicity is the key to happiness. I've come to appreciate things in life that most people take for granted. Happiness eludes most people for the simple reason that they seek it everywhere except themselves.
By popular demand, I am now selling my photography. Prices vary according to size.
Photo shoot prices are negotiable. Contact me if you’re interested.

"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger, and so on, are human created problems which can be resolved through human effort and understanding.. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share."
Dalai Lama
