About me:

Living la vida loca in metro Portland, Ore.

I've regressed to shooting with my crrappy cell phone. I used to dabble with various point-n-shoots and my first and only DSLR, a Nikon D40.

Back in the day I had a Pentax K-1000, a Kodak Instamatic and Brownie.

I used to edit with Gimp on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Now I tweak a little on Android.

Besides taking pictures of stuff, interests include: meditation, music, mountains, peace and social justice, nature, economics, aesthetics, oceans, super strings and hyper space.

Without darkness, there is no light. We are all just star dust.
