About me: Like you, I am many many things. While I work a regular full time job, my heart is really in my custom perfume and photography businesses, Esens Fragrances and Photography (http://www.esens.com). I'm finding my way to live my passions fully. I love being exposed to lots of ideas and activities so I am interested in hearing what you have to say and what you do.
With photography, I love to capture people as naturally and candidly as possible. It it like being the observer and witness to someone who often doesn't really know just how amazing they are. I want people to see themselves in a way that is honest and honorable. I'll post photos from time to time. I have photographed lots of musicians, productions, and community events. I am most alive when I am photographing. One can take literally 1000's of images to get one that is so essential, pure and rare. What ecstasy when that happens. It is being completely sympatico with ones subject.
As a custom perfumer, I watch people change in their mood and energy just by attending to them and creating for them a fragrance that is, in essence, their personal atmosphere. This happens whether I work with a person directly in a face-to-face appointment or over the internet. It is a very ancient, intuitive art form that is honed daily. I still feel like a neophyte after 17 years of custom blending but I love serving women, men and couples in this way.
I am inspired by artists and visionaries of all types. I look forward to hearing from you. My work in both my businesses is affordable, fair, and honest. If you are drawn to my style, please contact me here or at info@esens.com.

Who I'd like to meet: People who are interested in talking about the arts, esoteric ideas, photography, poetry, fragrances, music, dance. Musicians or any one who wants to hire a flexible, fair, spontaneous, and fun photographer. People who are tired of the commercial fragrance world and wants to express themselves through unique, one-of-a-kind affordable custom fragrances made from essential and natural oils.
