I'm proud Old Skool- I really miss the freedom we once had....

Hi, I'm Jallen. AKA Tim offline, but even some of my real life friends call me Jal.
Let's get something out on the table rightaway- if I seem really effusive and heads-over-heels in your photostream. Don't mind me too much. When I see something that impresses me or makes me laugh out loud, or feel something deeply... I do not hestinate to tell you so. I'm just that way- a content guy comfortable with saying it as it is according to me. :-) I am not flirting!! (too much, nor seriously! hehe)... :-)
I'm an IT company partner, that lives in the wild in Missouri on a modest little horse farm. So I'm a geeky farmer in a nutshell I guess.
Photography is my hobby and my passion. I went to college for 4 years and majored in Photography, but I chose to keep it informal and not a career, and therefore, FUN.
I'm also Deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate with-- or pen and paper, or right here online... :-)
I'm married to an awesome woman from Madrid that I met in college while in Boston, and we have a son together who speaks/signs three languages, ASL, English & Spanish.
Being out here in the country sometimes has its price-- I do not have high speed Internet at home. I am stuck on dialup which puts me at a great disadvantage when it comes to updating my flickr account and visiting all your photostreams. I really truly do want to visit all your photostreams, and I DO try to. It's just that, it takes 5 minutes each photo sometimes.... So accept my apologizes if I don't return the favor of checking my photostream by visiting yours and commenting- I do try tho..
I've lived in many places, I've traveled all over... I will forever have itchy feet, and a thirst for adventure.
So you read this far? Okay, cool maybe you would be interested in my 2007 daily photo diary that I started on my 35th birthday April 12.
Please pardon my obsession with maps:

"Tim is hardcore old school - a photographer who is passionate about his craft and loves his work. His eyes are the window to his soul and our passport to his unique visions.
I've known him from way back when flickr was cool, and I'm so very proud to call him part of my extended family. Seeing his work change, grow, mature, take on many new and exciting directions has been such a pleasure and one hell of an exciting ride.
Honey, you totally rock, and I know that your future will be filled with many more wonderful photographic adventures to come!!"8th July, 2008
