About me: Early mid-30s, currently living just outside of Nashville TN with my partner Steve - a lighting designer par excellence. Prior to living in Nashville I was in the Triangle area of NC (Raleigh and Chapel Hill) for 13 years.
I am a photographer with reasonable rates, a sunny disposition and a desire to make you look good. Contact me for information on portrait, music performance and other packages.
Other loves include travel, both in the US and abroad; reading - non-fiction and magazines and novels and poetry and newspapers; spending time with friends; smacking down The Man and gardening.
If you're going to send me a friend request, please note that I generally only approve people I have met in meatspace BUT am interested in hearing from bands who fit my interests. Not interested in 15 year old friends from Boise, thanks. Regardless, you have to know my last name, which isn't too hard to figure out if you have more than 2 brain cells to rub together.
I'm not trying to be coy about my hometown - really, how do I explain in one town: Born in Winston-Salem, NC; moved to Wilson, NC when I was 3; moved to Evansville, IN, when I was 5; spent 2 months in Malaysia during my 7th year; moved to Greenlawn, NY later that year; moved to Southern Pines, NC, when I was 14; then went to Chapel Hill for school at 17. Lived in Lafayette, Louisiana for ~1 year during 1997-1998.
Who I'd like to meet: bands who want their pictures taken, people who want their pictures taken, animal lovers, performance-types who need headshots, beer drinkers, philosophical trash-talkers, makeup artists, creative types without the "haute art" vibe, readers, writers, photographers, liberals with the street cred to back it up, people who like to travel, gearheads, geeks, weirdos, the elusive "Nashville native"
What it do?????!! Yes I am back in the place of mountains and lesbians, and Timberland boots, and Teva sandals with white socks, but only for 4 to 5 weeks. How have you guys been? Festival Internationale was AWESOME!!
