Well, the way people usually describe me is like a 'Tonka Teddy Bear', because I look big and mean on the outside, but the people that get to know me (or rather, I let them in to know me) find out I'm very down to earth, and care a lot for those I consider friends... having said that: don't cross me or those I care for the wrong way; it's not a comfortable situation for you...
I'm a System Administrator, so computers are a BIG part of my life, and photography is what keeps me sane. I need photography A LOT.
I'm straight, no issues against alternate lifestyles... to each its own; I strongly dislike narrow-minded people...
Enough descriptions...

"Vlad "Tatankanuk" Mercado.......
he was the first person to make me a contact on Flickr. How he "found" me, I'll never know...but he did, and I'm grateful.
His photos really give a sense of who he is, and they do tell a story....whether Vlad chooses to add words to his photos or not, there is always a meaning behind each and every one.
His nature shots are spectacular, as are the many portraits that he's taken of other people.
He has a natural flair and he oozes creativity.
The Proverbial Man in Black, don't be fooled.
He is a very colorful individual, full of warmth and emotion.
He is my WARRIOR BROTHER, and his caring and love are real.
Take your rowboat out and visit his stream. His photos are colorful and insightful, and his Photoshopped Images are astounding, telling very interesting stories in and of themselves.
When I row thru his stream, it's more of a PLEASURE CRUISE. ..... I have been to many places through Vlad's photos, and have met some lovely people as a result....
including..VLAD!
We spent an afternoon shooting together, and there was never a moment of awkwardness. The bond started the day he made me a contact, and I'm grateful. He really showed me the ROPES of flickr, and, though many a contact of mine has come and gone, VLad is still here, and our Flickr Friendship has grown into a friendship OUTSIDE of FLickr.
Much Gratitude, and Love, to you, My Warrior Brother...
May the Great SPirit always watch over you and guide you on the Red Road....
Go in a GOOD WAY."30th July, 2007
