Me: Lebowski... The Great McGinty... that moment when someone realizes you are taking their picture just as you release the shutter...The Dandy Warhols... cold vindaloo... Ansel Adams... finding pretty rocks... Nikon not Canon... my cats (one is mine, two are long-term visitors)... Autumn not Winter... David Foster Wallace (r.i.p)... bad puns... cooking for people I care about... Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as applied to "reality" tv... Googlin' that sh*t... cats not dogs... Interpol (the band not the international crimefighting organization)... ideas not gossip... new wave... Black Rebel Motorcycle Club... the 1984 Detroit Tigers... Kate Hepburn not Lindsay Lohan... House of Leaves (vive le post-modern novel)... raging, raging against the dying of the light... John Carpenter not Rob Zombie... Rainer Maria Rilke... Metric (the band not the system of weights and measures)... beautiful melancholy... pondering the mythic patterns in the work of Bob Dylan...tinkering in my darkroom... finding new music, or movies, or books... those creepy bioluminescent fish that roam the ocean floor... '70's American cinema... planning for the coming zombie apocalypse... baseball not hockey (I know, I know)... long, deep, wet, slow kisses that last three days... film noir... modernist painting... my new 35-105mm lens... Severus Snape... the top ten artists on my ipod right now are: The Dandy Warhols, Interpol, Metric, Pete Shelley, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Does it Offend You, Yeah?, The Futureheads, Bob Dylan, Eagles of Death Metal, Sonic Youth. The last movie I watched was Touch of Evil. The last book I read was Until I Find You by John Irving.

Here's the thing about me; I write, I take photographs, I apply the creative principle to everything I do. I'm not into the whole corporate thing, I've never had an honest-to-god 9-5 job (though I always work), and my priorities in life are a bit outside the lines.

What am I looking for? A partner, a fellow traveler, a free-thinker. Someone who makes me weak in the knees with her mere presence. A woman with goals, talents and a mind of her own is important. Artists, poets, painters, glass-blowers, basket weavers, singers... the creative life is the only one for me, and it would be lovely to have a partner on that journey.


In short, I'm a romantic who's been mugged by reality...

Getting juiced on latte and going on a scavenger hunt.
