I'm fired up on:

I seek to explore the nature of a world caught up in environmental and cultural transformations where stability in any sense is increasingly rare. I want to continue working to communicate the Earth's diversity of social connections and conflicts, translating and disseminating its treasures and consequences to the rest of the world.
My interest lies in working to experience and share these espials as they are communicated, quite literally, through the lens.

Tunes I rock out to:

So much good music! Vague I know but there is just TOO much, too diverse to list in a profile.

Travel style:

I have affection for many different kinds of travel based on where I am, who I am, whom I am with, etc.. I do tend to stay away from the affected, "mainstream" culture that America has the habit of promoting however.

Quote:

At a dinner party a woman says, "My sister was born underwater."
My dear friend Taylor overhears this and unable to hold back he honestly queries, "Like in a submarine?"

This is just a small example of the state of being which I admire and helps fuel my affection for and desire to see the world - honest and good-natured exploration, sociability, great sense of humor, and imaginations that can take heart in any occurrence, pythonic or infinitesimal - and assume that anything is possible.

Sports I do:

Horse-back riding, scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, surfing (rusty but..), biking, skimboarding..

Favorite artist(s):

Same deal as with music

Favorite books:

Same deal as with music

Languages spoken, other than English:

Italian

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

During the last four months of my year living in Italy.

Let's collaborate:

I'm a photographer and writer looking to network with travel organizations/publications/people, artists, and musicians. Creativity has been a constant throughout my life and part of my basic make-up, and I have endeavored to combine my creative sensibilities with a commitment to reliability and determination. I am also social, energetic, and thrive on learning and sharing through interacting with people and places. Because of this I am excellent at bringing people together. If any of these ideas and/or ideals sounds enticing to you, thennnnn - let's collaborate!
