I'm a man who wears many hats: photographer, writer, mathematician, computer geek, aspiring jack-of-all-trades. The common thread that runs through these is the concept of individual and community self-determination and the emerging "Age of Amateurs", a phenomenon I believe has the potential to become a radically democratizing force within our society. It is a process that takes a myriad of forms, from the free software movement and do-it-yourself (DIY) philosophy to mashup music and community gardening. Ultimately though, it begins with how we choose to live our lives.
