About Me |
|
I love exotic foods, but fresh bread with Rioja also suits me well. Drop me off on any foreign shore, and I'll explore and feel right at home. I can talk to you about acoustic music, songwriting, kayaking, that special moment when the sunlight shimmers off ripples in the water like diamonds, cats that have taught me about love, angels, and secret places in my heart. No doubt about it. I am passionate about many things. Music and films are near the top of the list, along with travel and discoveries, imaging, history of photography, writing poetry, reviews and commentaries, gadgets, and technology. In music, I've produced house concerts as well as shows at other venues, and helped artists with bookings, performance and media photos, and commercial web design. Don't forget to stick a pin in the map when you visit. |

Here's a sampling of personal snapshots, including some performance and travel photos. To view captions, just move your cursor over an image, and click on any photo if you wish to leave a comment.
