If you want to use one of my photos for something, go right ahead. Just tell me, so I can make it a cc. No need to tell me if it's a photo of you/your band-- it's you, so it's yours. Sorry if it sucks... I'm well aware when I'm missing great moments/shots, but those are usually the times I'm enjoying the show the most, and that totally comes first, always. And yes...I know less is more, that I don't need to have 50 shots from a single night up, that the four best images pared down and edited would suffice & lead to a nicer flickr page...but I like to keep everything in one place...and I'm not a professional photographer.

I reside in Providence, RI. I'd rather be just about anywhere else.

Music, film, and art are my main obsessions in life. I'll travel far to see a band I love play. I was a fine arts major in college, focusing on sculpture and printmaking / painting. I've been a music director, program director & DJ at college radio stations / been an assistant gallery director for a non-profit arts organization / done lots of theater related behind-the-scenes stuff (lights & sound /stage managing / dresser / props/ designer/ lunch time programming manager) I'm trained as a rare bookseller/ ephemera dealer, but frankly I'd rather talk about music & film than literature, although I'm a bit reserved and shy about this unless you know me well. I'm a former 90's 3rd floor live/work artist-in-residence @ AS220, part of the first wave, at the Empire St location.

My socks rarely match, I cut my own hair (badly), I refuse to be anything anyone else expects me to be and all I really want in life it to be happy as frequently as possible, to have something to believe in, and see others feeling the same way. I'm in the middle of a creative crisis-- I'm having problems completing work. I can think in a straight line, but normally I converse veering off at a tangent here or there. I have a severe sleep disorder. Hope really is my middle name. I live for a good bass line. I grew up next to cranberry bogs in Onset, and close to the ocean/Buzzard's Bay, which I miss visiting every day
