I'm a native Arizonan and complete photography n00b living in the Valley of the Sunstroke. When I'm not fighting off heat exhaustion, scorpions, and dust storms, I like to pretend that I know what I'm doing with my digital SLR (Do serious photographers even say 'digital SLR'?). I'm also fluent in del.icio.us tagging and recently bought a Mac!

My goals for 2008 and beyond is to 1) take a photo I'm actually happy with, 2) design my own ghetto lightbox out of old soymilk cartons and white electrical tape, and 3) add "sweet HDR skills" to my list of talents...

Current list of talents:

- Can solve a Rubix Cube in less than a week... okay two weeks

- Can sport a mean fanny pack

- Mad Google Reader shortcut skills (Ara still p0wns)

- Hardcore ambidextrous mousing skills

- Slick "eat all my roommates' food" skills

- Know the lyrics to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air skills

I blog at The Closet Entrepreneur, Twitter as tomascarrillo, and lurk on the Refocus Phoenix Google Group. I'm a Pisces born in the Year of the (Fire) Dragon which when combined makes me ruthlessly lazy.

BTW, if you're wondering about my buddy icon, that's an OG FM3 Buddha Machine. ;^)
