About me:
Check out my brother Steve's band Nine N Out


No Fear Life Lesson at 13,000 feet

6 minute video of my son and I jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with a fantastic view of Mount Rainier. Some parts of video is choppy due to my JVC camcorder not playing tapes from other camcorders very well.

I have a very easy going personality that enables me to put a smile on your face that will last a lifetime. A smile that you can share with friend's and family.

If you are looking for that special portrait of yourself, your family, children, cat and or dog I am the one to contact.

Searching for a unique wedding photographer ?. Wedding bells in your future ?. I would be Pleased to give you a estimate for your marriage celebration. Anything from a Shotgun Wedding all the way to a cathedral style ceremony.

I love Nature and if you have a garden or a special plant that you are very proud of, I can make it into a crystal clear photograph that will give you bragging rites to all your friends.

My current rates are around 50% of the going rate in Seattle area to build up a client base & referrals. email me soon before I become sane and increase my fees. !

I have done quite a bit of travel photography from the 70s to present. Interlaced with occasional funny pics of babies, kittens and Puppies :-)

Have been shooting film only until 2 years ago when I went digital. I have been primarily focused on Portrait and Nature photography during most of this time. Presently I am focusing on building up a Wedding, Glamor & Portrait Photography business.

Because of Windows Vista being such a lemon and a REAL PAIN to administer, I am slowly transitioning from doing IT network security consulting work to concentrating on my photography business Looney1 Photography.

I have the kind of personality kids warm up to quickly, which gives me the added advantage over most other photographers in obtaining that perfect portrait of your little munchkin.

Voted Seattle's Most Creative Portrait & Wedding Photographer

I'm always looking for new models for portfolio work. So if you are in the Seattle area and are interested, we can do a time for CD photo shoot as my spare time allows.

You can reach me at: seattlelooney1-myspace[at]yahoo.com

Visited 45 states (90%) Utah being the most awesome state for nature photography.

Please no comments with flashing or blinking graphics

They make slow computers unstable and fast computers slow.

Who I'd like to meet:
I don't like meeting anyone I don't know. I don't usually leave the house. Actually, right now I am under my house in the crawl space. LOL

Although if you are the type of person that has a Kind Spirit who loves Animals & Nature I will take a risk.:-)

Anyone who wants their pictures taken.

Bengal cat owners, or should I say anyone controlled or manipulated by their Bengal cat.

"If u love me (as a friend or more) u'll read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. don't ever leave the one u love for the one u like, because the one u like will leave u for the one they love.
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...
