--- August 17th, 2008 -- I'm deleting alot of shots to make room for newer ones. I've gone and run out of room!!! :(

We're all mad here.

My love for photography started over a decade ago, I was in every single art and writing class I could get myself into, and little did I understand then, how blessed I was to have those electives in our school system. Metal/Jewelry, Portfolio arts (which for me, focused on pen and inks- I was headed for a career slinging ink into skin at the time.), and photography... just to name a few.

I started out using old hand me down black and white cameras, and you couldnt find me without one around my neck,and my big obnoxious portfolio breifcase in one hand. (The thing weighed a ton, it had a 2X3 wooden drawing board in it.) There is something magical and maudlin about black and white photography, and it remains my favorite.

I'm your typical reclusive 'artist' and poet. I tend to describe sounds as tastes, touches as sounds. Visions as emotions. I have an ongoing love affair with light. I started doing poetry readings when I was 9, and you hopefully will never find the bits that have been published, they are awful. -chuckles-

I spend entirely too much time by myself, and I think it likely comes out in my photography. I stumbled into photography in SL as a complete accident, landed a job running a studio and had such a hard time charging my clients that I wound up with burnout and being increasingly unhappy. (I've been known to spend hours in the studio with one client... and at the time, was only charging 100L per shot)

For the most part, I dont do postwork. Most of the shots I do are nothing but using the tools inworld, although lately I have been experimenting with 'more'. (although.. less is often, so much better.)

Other than this.... generally friendly, extremely shy and curious. I -live- in camera mode.
