Personal bio below...

Guidelines:

1) Organization:

a) Any album or tag within the last ~5 years that doesn't have an airport code embedded in it is from Southern California. If it has an airport code, look it up! It's more fun that way!

b) Albums are sorted reverse-chronologically, with the most recent first. (If older dates are near the top then I recently posted them and haven't yet sorted them.)

c) Collections are (mostly) sorted by year with some special ones done by topic.

d) The Photostream is what it is - a random pile of poo that can't be sorted or classified. Thanks, Flickr!

2) I'm an amateur. 98.6% of these pictures are worth exactly what you're paying for them. If it becomes a profession that somehow pays more than my day jobs, I'll probably stop taking pictures. So far, I'm in no danger of this. UPDATE: No day job anymore.

3) I have a huge backlog. That's not a euphemism and I'm not bragging. It's only gotten worse since I stopped working because now I'm busy taking new pictures and not slowing down long enough to curate/post them! Anyway, if I reference something via social media that you can't find here, I probably haven't finished uploading it yet.

4) If you're going to steal my shit, at least give me a link and some credit.

5) Everything before 2013 was moved from other self-built sites that I put a lot of time and effort (and captions) into. That time/effort is not well-reflected here. The past is just practice; live for the moment. :)

Personal bio....

I came from the USA northeast and moved to San Diego in 2004. More recently, I lived in Sydney and Dublin for a few years. Now I'm "home-free" and travel full-time. It's a big planet and I'd like to see much more of it before I die.

I (really) like long walks on the beach and sunsets. I can live without cold winters.

I take a lot of pictures of my life, and my followers love them - all three of them. (Hi, Mom! Hi, Suvi! Hi, kitty!) :)
