Ex-photographer. Now, mostly just incidental, unplanned pics of my bike, but every once in a while I hallucinate that I am a photog again.

So, Festival Friendly interviewed me. Read it!
Then, Ice Cream Man interviewed me! Check it out.
Plus, Todd "norbography" Norbury grilled me about me: Go there.
Finally, please read this essay Are photographers really a threat? by security expert Bruce Schneier
Excerpt:
"Since 9/11, there has been an increasing war on photography. Photographers have been harrassed, questioned, detained, arrested or worse, and declared to be unwelcome. We've been repeatedly told to watch out for photographers, especially suspicious ones. Clearly any terrorist is going to first photograph his target, so vigilance is required.Except that it's nonsense." (read all) (Backup link)

He's more than awesome!
Every one of Mick's shots just cements my belief that he's one of the coolest guys on flickr. He has an uncanny ability to find beauty in the seemingly mundane, giving importance and life to things that go largely unnoticed by the rest of us. It helps that he's smart, witty and handy with a camera, too...
Mick is one of the greatest photographers I know... So great, that he makes it really difficult for me to hate him. DAMN YOU MICK OCHINSKY. But seriously, Mick always has great advice, photo related or otherwise, and he is such a sweet heart! I really look up to him and admire his body of work so much.
Mick is one of the people that I *will* have to meet in person. He has it, that feeling for light and humanity, his photos are a great cross-section of human experience. And above everything else, he's funny. I'm always here, waiting for the next ride he'll take us on through his photography.
Whistle a tune and this man will know it, will find you the remix and has probably shot them in concert. Two of his great passions are photography and music yet he says his passion is sleeping, thrust me you'll never feel more awake after knowing this fine gentleman.
Mick 0 is a seriously smart, quick dude. Also Mick 0 is a refreshingly nice, helpful dude. And Mick 0 wields an insightful, creative eye. But most of all Mick 0 is the dude with a 5d in the mosh pit. Both figuratively and literally.

A wise sage once said, "rule of thumb.. the fewer the legs = the greater the views... ". Never truer words have been writ. Meeko sees failures as treasures and i think thats a pretty great thing. Plus, theres the greatness of the one about the hooker red mercedes and the one that is greater than real life and the one of age being wasted on the old. And so many more...dont know what im going on about? view the stream. it will be like it has fewer legs.
Read lessHe has advanced degrees in both charm and humming1 Aside from that, Mick 0 is one of my favorite flickr people, because he is so smart and charming (advanced degree, see above), is a great photographer, takes good notes about the people he knows, is an ace punster, and is an all around mensch.
a better man would be hard to find
