My Bio
I'm a journalist. I do freelance stories and photos when I can. I may actually post some of my journalistic pieces, but I have a lot of art photography, as well.
I am currently a substitute teacher and am a volunteer web administrator for a church website.
I'm not a Buddhist in the traditional, learn the koans and pray to something kind of way. I aspire to be at peace with the world. That's all I can do. I will never reach perfection--there is no such thing. I can only hope to achieve enlightenment, which I feel I am gradually gaining.
Current Residence: In a city in a desert where it gets hot, hot, hot in the summer, but nice 'n cool in the winter!
Favorite genre of music: Metal
Favorite photographer: Fatherofanartist, Me, Ansel Adams
Favorite style of art: Unusual
Operating System: Mac & Linux
MP3 player of choice: My computer
Shell of choice: Ok, I'll admit it: I don't get this one.
Wallpaper of choice: I don't get this one, either.
Skin of choice: Chicken - roasted, please!
Favorite cartoon character: Spiderman
Personal Quote: Everything that goes up must come down - at a greater velocity than before, causing a deep crater.

I'll soon restart my blogs (in repair mode now) and want to start photographing again.
More info soonish.
Thanks for reading!

The story of my life! Undefined disconnections!
Ok, maybe not everything. But it's frustrating when it does happen, whether it be in a chatroom or in a doctor's office (doctors essentially telling me I'm a hypochondriac, when I find out years later that I have fibromyalgia).
Ugh.
Well, it'll get better. It always does!

My first drawing deviations
0 min read
I have deviated two drawings.
They are outside my comfort zone.
"Chibi" is a new concept for me, which was introduced to me by my daughter, who draws in this and other manga styles quite well. My previous forays into drawing were in the realistic style. My major forms of artistic expression for the last few decades have been photography (B&W film and B&W/color digital) and writing.
I think my drawings look a bit baby-ish, but I must remind myself that everyone starts somewhere.
Somewhere, in a box of stuff, is my very first "published" fiction story (it was self-published with construction paper and yarn), which was about Santa's elves. T
