I have been incredibly impressed by some of the work here at Flickr and look forward to continuing to add my own. In looking at other photographer's work I have noticed the importance of place. It has made me think hard about my own location and what makes 'here' what it is. The familiar can become invisible, and I am trying to see things I have looked past or forgotten. If someone had lived their entire life on a tropical island, what would seem exotic to them about where I live?

In addition to the photography I square dance (both dance and call) and do some traveling for that. My occupation is as a chocolatier with a local chocolate company.

Thanks for taking the time to view my written thoughts, as well as my visual ones.
