About me:

I live in Texas with my wife, Lara. we have no children or pets and spend most of our time pursuing our artistic endeavors.

For me that includes singing and writing in the rock band 'far star', making experimental noise with 'h...n', and making electronic music in 'of sparks and stars'.

Lara is an amazing photographer and she also sings and does music in 'of sparks and stars'.

Almost everyone I know is trying to supersize their lives by buying more of everything bigger and larger. I feel just the opposite. We own a pretty small house and unless something unforeseen happens (like children or obesity) we probably won't upgrade for a while. My favorite part of touring an Ikea store is their displays that show you all the stuff you can do with only 230 square feet! Maybe if we ever sell our house to move closer to our friend in Dallas we can try to find something even smaller.


Who I'd like to meet:

brave people.

    What's going on, Shannon? It's raining here, and I'm suffering from a lack of motivation. I've enjoyed stalking your wife through flickr.
    She's so photogenic!
