I'm an aspiring curmudgeon and dilettante who now lives in Nashville after spending 8 years as a transplanted hillbilly in Brooklyn, New York.

I am an ecologist by education and an autodidact by inclination. I don't practice ecology professionally anymore, but I do think that my training as a "systems thinker" informs both work and play.

I know virtually nothing about the technical aspects of photography, but as with my other hobbies, I figure trial and error is the best teacher. That, and honest critics who share my passion.

I guess "shutterbug" is a good term for me since I particularly enjoy taking macro shots of insects and other invertebrates.

I think flickr may turn out to be a great tutor.

    "Dope is a true autodidact. Of course, I've never met him, but his photographs, coupled with his professed lack of knowledge of the medium, are thought-provoking and always worth a third, fourth, and hundredth look. His work makes me see the world in a new way, and for that, well, I'm thankful. I can't wait to see what you're shooting today!"
