i'm a modern man, a man for the millennium, digital and smoke-free. a diversified, multi-cultural, post-modern deconstructionist; politically, anatomically and ecologically incorrect. i've been uplinked and downloaded, i've been inputted and outsourced. i know the upside of downsizing, i know the downside of upgrading. i'm a high-tech low-life. a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, bi-coastal multi-tasker, and i can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond. i'm new-wave, but i'm old-school; and my inner child is outward-bound. i'm a hot-wired, heat-seeking, warm-hearted cool customer; voice-activated and bio-degradable. i interface with my database; my database is in cyberspace; so i'm interactive, i'm hyperactive, and from time to time i'm radioactive.

"as long as i have known shap, the sun has always shined on him, no matter the weather, yet even better than that, if the sun doesn't find john, he finds it. to say i am glad to have had him as a friend for so long, would be an understatement. john is the one i call, "best friend." ah der, ah bho."

"My frequent co-worker, friendly photographic competitior (We are constantly trying to "one up" the other with underwater shots, and it has only made both of us better photographers as we have fed off one anothers skills and experiences.) and fellow aquatic adventurer.
And just an all around good guy.....besides, he has been buying my old camera rigs and ipods...which has allowed me to upgrade sooner !"1st January, 2007
