Moderately carnivorous.
Humographer.
Running in circles outside the box.
Always on the same page, but usually reading from a different book.

"I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, not in a chaos without norms, even though that is how it sometimes appears. My subjects are also often playful: I cannot refrain from demonstrating the nonsensicalness of some of what we take to be irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure to deliberately mix together objects of two and three dimensions, surface and spatial relationships, and to make fun of gravity."
~ M. C. Escher
DISCLAIMER
-----------------
I’m not here to show off, round up as many contacts as possible, elicit as many views on my photos as possible, or join every possible group in Flickrdom to get my photos on the Explore page.
I was initially here for the free tacos, but that didn’t quite work out.
If I have a photo I think someone may enjoy, I’ll post it. It may be posted for just one specific person…it may be just for you. If it’s not, don’t be disappointed…the next photo may be for you...or, it may not. I may actually be ignoring you that day. Make sure to check back later…maybe your luck will change? Or, it may not.
If I see someone else’s photo I enjoy, I’ll leave a very, sincere comment. I also post comments from time-to-time that I think others may enjoy…it may be just for you. It may not. Feel rejected yet?
Some of the comments I leave in photostreams may throw a few people off, so here’s some helpful hints for those of you who don’t know me:
If you think I’m joking, I probably am.
If you think I’m serious, I’m probably joking, unless I’m serious (either partially or completely).
If you think I’m serious about joking, you’re right (unless you’re left-handed).
If you think I’m jokingly serious about joking about serious things, you seriously need to stop joking around and get into a good therapy program…seriously! (unless you’re either partially or completely left-handed).
REMEMBER : We’re all just taking pictures and typing words – We ain’t curing cancer here!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Make sure to tip the bellboy on the way out. If you get lost along the way, feel free to add me as a contact and stop by anytime. I’ll keep the light on for you. Or, I may not.

"Eric's photostrem is almost always my first stop (it's a tie between Beefus and Bill Adams). Beautiful photography, witty words, and a generally positive outlook on life - I cannot ask for more. Hopefully I will get to meet him one day!"

Archer's Eye says:
"Beefus' stream is a non-stop diet of comedy, 6 word stories, warm acerbic family wit, tragedy, irony, and purple mountains' majesty. This Photographer is known for doing all his own daredevil stunts.
Put on your face paint and check him out."18th January, 2008

Dally says:
"Beefus finally offered me enough money to write him a testimonial. He kept holding out, so we settled in the middle.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather have make rude comments in my photostream than Beefus. He's the best.
Oh, and he takes some reel purty pitchers, too. Here's to my buddy, Beefus!"18th January, 2008
