    Winker's Interests
General
MusicLiving in Austin, TX lets me enjoy just about all kinds of live music and I try and take advantage of it every night!

While pondering the meaning of life and death, I realized how much I love this song by Danny and I remembered it was out on his myspace page, so I grabbed it for my myspace. I hope you like it, too. I also hope you'll link over to his myspace, I know you'll enjoy his music. I think he's one of the most talented singer/songwriters in Austin.

About me:
I was just looking at my profile and realized how out of date it was and seeing how I had some time on my hands that I should update it. You might ask why I have time on my hands, and I'd have to tell you that it's because I got selected for my company's resource action. That's the politically correct way of saying I was canned along with another 1200 folks. I've been out of work since the end of Feb. 2009 and am not sure what I'm gonna do now that I have to grow up. After 36+ years of working at the same place it's a little confusing as to what the next steps will be. The good news is that I'm surrounded by family and friends that are SOOOO supportive. It's nice to know there's people willing to help. More good news is that I don't really have to decide to make any more changes for a little bit, so I'm gonna take some time, unwind and continue to take pics.

Speaking of support, I've been involved in a couple fund raising events this year which I've chronicled in albums in my Photo section. It's made me proud to be part of this community. I'd like to call out a few friends that epitomize the spirit of helpfulness and that would start with Danny and Rene.. Britt, Marcia Ball, Nancy Coplin and Pam Golightly who have done so much for so many people. It's an honor to call you all friends and I love you all for what you've done!!! There were dozens and dozens of people that helped with their time, talents and financial support, thank you all!!!

Enough of the preachy stuff and in case you wanna know about me, I'm the kinda guy who always has a camera with him and there's nothing I like better than to take pictures of my friends. Fortunately, I have some great looking friends and some amazing musicians amongst them!!! I go out seven nights a week here in Austin, TX so I'm never at a loss for subjects to shoot.

I try to post at least one picture a day, so check it out and come back often. Besides you might just be in one of them. Thanks for stopping by...........

Who I'd like to meet:
I'm happy to be meet anyone who's path I cross, so I'm not really looking to try and shape destiny. These are some of the folks that I hung out with in March, 2008:

Love that duck of you! Beautiful picture ...

Since we left Texas, life will never be the same. Maybe we have time to talk this weekend. I still have to tell you that story about Mark asking where to find something to eat in a gun store and about people thinking Mark's my chauffeur/bodyguard - haha - which he actually is, but he doesn't want to know ;-)

Hi Winker,
Enjoyed visiting with you @Rusty's "Celebration of LIFE" recently at the Saxon Pub.  What a turnout to HONOR HIS LEGACY.  He truly was a MASTER of the Stage & Audience..a TEXAS MUSIC LEGEND & ENTERTAINER who ALWAYS made us Wanna Dance, Smile, and Laugh.  Thank YOU for photographing and Capturing some Special Moments! 

Musically!

Hey Winker - I just came across a photo of you from a few years back at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar (when we were still in the Music Hall).  I'll have to send it when I get on my computer at home -- I think you'll like it!

You're so welcome ... they are really great. We're going to visit Carl's Corner on Oct 30th when we're on our way to Austin. I tried to send you another message (in the MySpace mail) but it gives an error (ain't a virus -haha-). I try again later ...

Love, Monique

Thanks again, Winker. The last weeks I'm busy learning to work with software to set up a weblog. It's so great and I've learned a lot about how to embed pictures, slideshows, music etc. Might be nice for you too for showing your pictures ;)

The pictures I sent you I also sent to a contest. I don't expect I'll win, but I did it just for fun.

Here's another one I like - took it with the AE1 and Photoshopped it ... it's called "Bridges"

Love, Monique
