About me
"Become quiet with your awareness that everything is you and you are everything... God dwells within you as you."
-Swami Muktananda

-FIRST-  Please excuse me...
For those of you who do not fucking read, Your friend requests will be denied if you have nothing to say.  See end of bio. There is no greatness in being just another number. I love meeting new friends. If you want to collaborate, tell me.  If you have thoughts about my work, tell me.  If you feel we might connect, tell me.  I failed mind reading class.

While I'm at it, do not fucking flake on me. Please have the courtesy to not fucking flake on me. Do not waste my time.  If there are complications, tell me, I will understand.  Do not leave me hanging.  Thanks!  smile     

This is a beginning. Another small step. We all start small.
As with most things, I am here for learning, growth, and fun.

I'm here for the experience of it all, whether I'm in front of or behind the camera, while expanding my network and portfolio in both areas.  I'm enthusiastic about creating art from my own imagination or helping others create theirs.

I welcome all suggestions and concepts!
I may do anything for fun or for my professional benefit, but, understand that I gain nothing personally from superficial work.  I am not a mindless, plastic doll with vanity issues.
I want to create art with a purpose, something meaningful that hopefully inspires thought and emotion. 
Storytelling shoots are my favorites.
         
As a multi-medium visual artist, actor, musician, writer and aspiring filmmaker, I Am learning more about photography as another creative medium.
I am currently working on a photo-graphic novel and several movie projects.
I prefer shoots to be fun but professional.
       In everything we do, it is important to enjoy the process in the moment.   

Travel: 
I like driving.  I reside in Delaware, borderline Pa, close to Phila.  I don't mind moderate trips to surrounding areas.

Nudes:
I have no problem walking around in my birthday suit.  There is no shame in it.  I'm happy with it.  I enjoy it.
My family knows I'm artistic but they don't want to see my goods.  Implieds.  Additional compensation preferred.   

* My hair is now short in the back, medium in the front.
   Anime/Emo style.

*There is a 2" tear/water droplet shaped scar on my left upper arm, usually unnoticed.  No tattoos yet.

Props: 
I am compiling a sculpture/fabrication portfolio. 
Whatever you see in your vision that you don't have, can't find, or can't make... 
I can and do make damn near anything. I welcome a project.
Swords are a speciality, pics of my work will be posted on a new photography page, until then there is one sword featured on Lily Lisa's modeling page and another on Wraven Design's.

Speaking of which, if you have a question for me, please have the courtesy of contacting me directly, Lily is not my receptionist.

*If you friend request me without previous words, you will be denied because obviously you didn't even read this.   I don't need praise, just a Connection. 
I am not a number.  Go meet real friends.  smile


Thank You!  Be well!

Thanks :) You seem to be one of the very few who understands just how significant the tattoo is, I really loved your tag.

On a side note, holy Mother of Jesus your portfolio rocks! You're amazin'!

Awe well I do hope you got some satisfactory footage & am glad it was good all-in-all. Gwar was great ahhaha. Being on stage with them was a definite highlight. My friend organized the show & it was a success and so very well done. All of the models looked fierce & exquisite. The afterparty, I didn't really attend. A group of us were so hungry and went to eat after the show. I went to the afterparty just to say bye to some people and then left to go party up by my hometown.

Yes ...I was wondering where you were last night :( My friend was the only one filming. I just read your tag today. That sucks! You will have a whole lot more to shoot on Sunday though because there were barely any vendors last night. Well it's a pity that I won't get to meet you! Maybe we can do a shoot together sometime though!

Good day Brian! The shot with the 4x5 came out really well. I've basically just realized again that the world exists as things for me are calming down and weights are being lifted from my shoulders and have realized that I need to start shooting again. I would really love to shoot with you and Lilly soon. My availability is about to become very much wide open so lets collaborate again soon!

I'd love to work with you... loving the lupine quality that you have going in some of these.

Would love to do something very stripped down, very raw and pretty 'kitchen sink'

Have two castings up at the moment; you're the first person I've approached for either... let me know what you think

I'd so love to shoot with you and Lisa again sometime soon especially with all the snow... and I didn't realize you were ok with nudes... Is Lisa too? (or she could partially hide behind you? lol) I would LOVE to do a series of artistic nudes with a heavy focus on lighting in a studio setting (my backroom still but it works :) Feel free to call or write anytime!!!
(photog port is 188959)... BTW, I sooo apologize to both you and Lisa for having been so flaky. I am not ordinarily so - in fact, jjust the opposite... Fortunately, I am feeling a little better and slowly trying to get back into my photography full time...

You'd look great as Willy Wonka too.
Are you doing the more Johnny Depp look or the 1st Willy Wonka?
