Endlessly fascinated by the mysteries of the universe. Loyal friend. Pragmatic, tiring idealist. Increasingly sentimental. Never tired of talking about food; cooking, and eating it. Violinist, environmental activist, space scientist, attorney, at various times. Writer is who I am. Music keeps me sane, and is the deepest mystery.

Photography for me is an intense but only occasional expression of being observant. An extension and intensification of memory. An ode to beauty. Piercing the veil.

Movies are the highest (and perhaps lowest) form of art today, a synthesis of the best. I love them.

Always enjoy making new friends, at home and around the world.

My sets marked as "slideshows" were arranged with some care and narrative line, so if you have time, run through them as such, that's the way they were meant to be enjoyed best.
