Bored and hopefully ignored by the populace at large. If I want to be seen, I'll let you see me. Now, on to the real information.

I now work for the government, the people I despise. I published my first poems at 16, my first story at 18, and my thesis at 25. I hold a B.S. in Journalism, Art, and Anthropology. A few of my photos reside in private collections of select clients, whom I can't mention due to contractual agreements. I've done work as a freelance photographer and writer, restaurant manager, an extremely evil telemarketer(please don't hate me because of that), heat-treat machine operator, rapid proto-typing lab assistant and assistant director during which I was also liason and personal assistant to Director of Rapid Proto-typing at a major construction equipment manufacturer, computer technician, and currently as a network administrator for local county government.

I had to stop photography, not because I wanted to, but because of illness. To pay medical bills from having pneumonia and being in the hospital, I had to sell my darkroom equipment, 2 of my 3 cameras, and all but 3 of my lenses. I also lost 90% of my portfolio to a flood. I am now trying to rebuild my portfolio from scratch. The Pentax K-1000 that I used died, so I gave up on trying to replace all of the darkroom equipment. I have now gone completely digital, and am using a Canon Digital Rebel XT. It's a damn nice camera!
