Photography, music, my iPod (30,490 songs and counting!), reading, vampire and horror movies, the gym and working out, travel, burlesque, my children, positive and attractive women, cooking, food, wine and anything hedonistic with someone who truly enjoys life and sharing that enjoyment with me!
Music
Last 10 songs that played on my iTunes!
Pretty much anything other than new country and folky folk. I used to DJ at an alternative radio station so that is my first love. I enjoy chill out music and candles with a glass of wine in the evening. Favorite bands are Radiohead, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Elvis Costello, U2, Catherine Wheel, Better Than Ezra, Cowboy Mouth, Lloyd Cole, Nick Cave, Paul Weller, Bettie Serveert, The Clash, Dresden Dolls, Skinny Puppy and WAAAAAAY too many more to list. But then I also like a lot of classical music, jazz, blues and some world music. Music has been my drug of choice my whole life. Literally. Music is my hot hot sex!
Here is where I am going to share a current list of what is on repeat in my CD players and on iTunes. To be updated....
Movies
I love going to movies! Some all time favorites of mine (in absolutely no particular order) (except maybe the first few!) are Zandalee, Million Dollar Hotel (yes it was written by Bono but it is a GREAT movie!), After Hours, The Hunger, Cat People, Nightmare Before Christmas, 28 Days, Resident Evil, From Dusk Til Dawn, Boondock Saints (rented it by accident and LOVED it!)most all horror movies (A or B), The Matrix, Star Wars (all of them), Tomb Raider (both), The Third Man, Labrynth, Lost Boys, Underworld, Office Space, Dude! Where My Car?, Alien (series), Under the Tuscan Sun (how the heck did THAT get in here?), whatever that space movie was with the killer beach ball ("Dark Star" directed by John Carpenter - Thanks Sara!), Beetlejuice, 12 Monkeys, Kontroll, London (great soundtrack!)....hell, I could go on forever. I have a pretty large and eclectic DVD collection. If this list appeals to you and you have some faves not listed, please let me know what they are! As I said, would love someone to go to and watch movies with.
Great foreign movie that is multi-dimensional. Meaning, it will leave you thinking! Rent it or buy it today!
Ode to New Orleans....come back soon my fair city!
This one was pretty good!
Johnny Depp is amazing...
Intersting...!
I love Nightmare Before Christmas even more but this is a great movie! I love Chef!
FINALLY got to see MirrorMask! Went in keeping my expectations low and was blown away. Reaffirms that Neil Gaiman is an un-American God. If you like Labyrith, Neverending Story and similar you will love this!
<br
Television
Not a fan of TV as a whole. That said I do love all the CSI shows (Vegas is the best) and some of the Law & Orders (TNT marathons are EVIL!). Other than that, I'll watch Leno or Letterman depending on who the guests are. Used to enjoy being forced to watch a plethora of reality TV programs on TLC and the like too. But no more... Recently discovered NCIS and I think it is hilarious!
Books
I read SOOO many books that I could not possibly list my favorites here. Topically, I will read almost any interesting horror novel as well as books set in interesting or familiar settings (New Orleans, Boston, Venice, Paris, etc). Anything that questions our origins on this planet, what the majority call religion, the reason for Aztec and Mayan civilizations and the reason they are gone, Egyptian lore included, decent vampire novels (trust me there is a ton of CRAP in that vein) and anything with a cool cover and an interesting sounding jacket. I travel a lot so read a lot. Some specific books I have really enjoyed: "White Apples" by Jonathan Carroll (most by him), early Anne Rice including "Feast of All Saints", "Link" by Walt Becker, everything by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and many many more. I also liked Dean Koontz's "The Taking" Cool story for him. I will add more here as I read them.
I also love to read magazines. Wine Spectator, Rue Morgue, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Food and Wine, Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Travel.
Heroes
Two. My Grandfather and my Dad. RIP. William Orville Large and Walter Alan Cichon. My Grandad was born November 8, 1921 Died March 17, 1999 Sucks. He died while I was at a Love and Rockets concert so I have that to forever relate to one of my favorite bands. He gave me the life I have and made me who I am and gave me the opportunity to grow. Everyone should be so lucky to have a "father" like him. My father is MIA in Viet Nam. You can search the internet for his name and get his military information. Next time there is an election, please vote for whoever is least likely to take us to war. No other children should grow up without their Dad because his life was thrown away to "protect our country." Diplomacy is the best way to protect our country and our, and our childrens', future.
My Mom died in 2007 too at the age of 58. I miss her. She was more like an older sister to me but that is not a bad thing. I am now the oldest person in my family...
I am pursuing my love of photography. Not sure I have any one particular style as I am more inspired by the person I am shooting than by any set idea of how every photo should look before it is even taken. I have had the pleasure to work with some fantastic people and hopefully you are next! Check out my folders and leave some comments and critiques. If you have any questions about my work, rates or me personally, feel free to ask.
Interested in shooting? Let me know. Reasonable rates and I will do some limited TFCD work. If you are in Jacksonville or New Orleans, that is the easiest. But not opposed to traveling to shoot either. Hit me up!
I shoot with a Canon EOS 40D
Canon 55mm f/1.4
Canon 17-40mm f/4 L
Canon 28-135mm f/3.5 IS
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS
Speedlite 580 EX II
Speedlite 550 EX Slave
Smith-Victor KT900 Light kit (for starters..)
Need ONE more lens and THEN I am all set!
Come a long way from a Yashica FX-2!
But WHO am I? I am pretty much a 42 year old male who's like a 21 year old at heart. Or 2 at times! LOL I love and live for music, reading, photography, travel, food and wine and energetic people who love life. You only live once and who knows what comes next so enjoy it! I have a son and a daughter. Gavin Walter is one cool kid and Matin Lilian is going to be a handful for any guy in about 18 years! I get to see them one month out of the year...
I live in Jacksonville but have lived in Sacramento, CA, Boston, MA (for 10 years!) and New Orleans, LA but was born in (do I have to admit to this?) New Jersey. I also am in Reno, NV as much as possible to see my kids. Who knows where I will end up? Remember, you only live once! Live life to its fullest! In fact, as soon as I can get a break from work I am going to take a trip. Just me and my camera. Any suggestions as to where to go are welcome!
Who I'd like to meet: Other photographers, models, burlesque dancers, make up artists, hair stylists, artists, musicians and YOU.
Basically, anyone who sees my photos (both of me and by me), reads my profile, shares my outlook or has a counterpoint to make and is intrigued enough to write to me. I figure at that point there is enough in common that we would really get along well. The most important thing in any sort of relationship is that you can communicate openly. I am done with games and drama and people who are all about themselves. A real relationship is a partnership and the sharing of two lives. I used to be someone who was all about themself but as I have said, live, love and learn. I am a much better person now. Age is good for something!
As far as famous people I'd like to meet...hmm. Would love to hang out with Jeremy Davies. I think he is a cool actor. Weird, but cool. Add Christopher Walken to the list. Weird and cool again. Hell, anyone cool would be good! I travel a lot so if there are cool people in any of the following cities, feel free to say Hello. Nashville, Memphis, Tulsa, Des Moines, Holland MI, New York City, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Los Angeles, Reno, New Orleans...!

Wow! Thanks to all my wonderful friends, I made the top 20. So many sexy girls to choose from. Now the voting starts all over, so please place your vote for me in this final round.
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure
of the landscape -- the loneliness of it -- the dead feeling of winter. Something
waits beneath it -- the whole story doesn't show.
