Welcome to all those who are interested in knowing more about me --- read on.

 

However ... if you want to use one of my pictures elsewhere on the world wide web ... I have no trouble with my photos being used on other's blogs or what have you, but

PLEASE OBSERVE THE CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE LEVEL

... and while it is not required, it would be "nice", if you asked for permission to use one of my photos.

About Me:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"Even the most every day object can be interesting if only the perspective is changed from the every day view."

~~ Me

 

My most favorite quote of all time and one that speaks volumes to me:

"We have not even to risk the journey alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."

~~ Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

I am currently living in Clarksburg, Maryland, USA. I have lived around in a number of different places, the furthest of which (from my hometown in Glencoe, Maryland) was Centralia, Washington. I do miss living on the west coast. Perhaps, I can look forward to relocating in my retirement years.

 

I am an amateur photographer that takes pictures when I get the opportunity, which is usually when I am traveling, but sometimes due to me just taking the time. I always have my digital camera with me to catch that random event. I use a Canon 50D.

 

In my professional life I work in GIS and imagery analysis. It has seemed like such a good fit for me.

 

Place is my inner spirit.

 

When I look back on my life, I can remember places I have been so much more readily than times, dates or names. I enjoy traveling, exploring, and generally discovering new and exciting things. The world as I see it, while all of it has likely been set foot on, is there to be personally explored, experienced.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy browsing and comment freely.
