I'm a knucklehead from suburban Chicago. I like weird grimy urban stuff like valves and bolts. I spent years exploring dive bars and hanging with the denizens of the night. I sobered up once and for all this year, so now as a creative outlet (I also like custom motorcycles) I take snapshots with my cheap Canon Power Shot SD 400 Digital Elph. This seems to bring me joy. I love jazz music and DJ music "outside of clubs." I'm basically a pretty boring guy so taking photographs soothes my soul, and fills the hole where the rain comes in. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!! C.F.L.
