I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;

I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,

And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.

(From The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot)

I am 42, very happily married and have two great young children.

I spend M-F working at a headache manufacturing and distribution factory, (actually I'm attorney and know that I'm helping people cure their headaches). I spend the weekends taking pictures.

I take my camera everywhere on the weekends and mostly take pictures of family and whatever I see around us.

I love looking at other peoples photos on Flickr. There are so many great artists. I'm particularly amazed by the skill and knowledge of the strobists and am trying to get through LIghting Bootcamp 102.
