I'm a Social Worker who works with homeless LGBTQ youth and a photographer I'm also immersed in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, which transformed my life when I was first introduced to it. Originally from Brooklyn, I currently live in Astoria.

I enjoy playing bass, going to galleries, writing, watching horror films, kissing, poetry, video games on occasion, taking photographic portraits, being silly and creative on a daily basis. My hands are open to many, but only a few will reach the center.

Music: Dylan, The Smiths, Wild Beasts, The Fall, Neil Young, Wilco, Morrissey, Cat Power, Nina Simone, Jim O'Rourke, Sons and Daughters, Lambchop, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Velvet Underground, Supergrass, New York Dolls, David Bowie.

Something unpredictably, ineffably and authentically romantic... a picnic under starlight, wandering around unexplored parts of the city, a sudden embrace, an elusive poetic exchange emblazoned in the soul....an encounter that is simultaneously strange, kind and has a dash of danger.
