About me...

I am a self-described "dreamer in a perpetual state of wanderlust". I love Photography, Astronomy, Art, Nature, Music, Science (especially Mathematics) and Science Fiction, Reading, Travel, Hiking, Movies, Anime, Computers and Animals. Not necessarily in that order. Guess which one of these I do for living? I also enjoy following current events, humour, being creative in some way (it's my nature) and meeting new people from all over the world.

About my photography...

Regarding photography, I shoot Landscapes, Nature, Urban, Portraiture, Pets and Wildlife, etc. I don't believe in limiting myself to one or a few select things but rather whatever is available. I believe in creating the best images that I possibly can, whatever the subject and whatever the method. I do use Photoshop as part of my "storytelling" workflow, but not always to the same degree. I am a fan of simplicity.

About you...? Say Hello! :)

Everyone has a story and I'd love to hear yours if you're willing to share. I am a big fan of seeing the world through the eyes of another photographer when I am unable to be there in person. If you have tips, suggestions or just want to say hi, feel free to either leave a comment or drop me a line via Flickr mail! I appreciate constructive feedback and hearing from you! I try to be as diligent as I can when keeping up with comments, replying to messages and giving feedback.

Yes, I like meeting people and I reciprocate when comments are made on my photos. I'm willing to add you to my contacts but I like to know a little something about you first and I don't like one-sided conversation. I like having some interaction or I will assume that you are simply a passive follower which is okay too.

Be sure to check out my contacts' photostreams to see some truly talented, engaging and interesting photographers and artists.
