Cairo Voltaire

I moved to the Berkshires during the summer of '03; I got stuck there, which is not to say that the area isn't beautiful or that I didn't share good times.  Recently however, I relocated to Central Massachusetts and am currently living and loving in the city of Worcester after emancipating myself from that idiomatically lead swinging palace of self-condemnation loving referred to as The @$$ho!e of the universe, a.k.a. North Adams.  It's been a nice turn around...

All in all I suppose I could say I was born and raised a sympathetic enemy of pop culture.  I've lived in several states on the eastern coast of the United States though no point of interest has captured my heart as of yet.  Plans for the next five years include numerous projects as a visual and spoken word artist, and also as musician and song writer.  My hope is to somehow fit some travel in there as well. 

Where I expect to be in the next ten years remains nebulous.  I figure the spirit of some great metropolis will grab hold and claim me for its own.  Though, I do recognize that my rural habits may take precedent over the glamor and allure of city life, sparkle or no.

And so... as for my professional life, photography is one of several passions.  Others include writing, drawing, painting, singing, composing, digital manipulation, hair, makeup, design, ad nauseum...  I hoped for a time to find a career for each of those, though as of late I've begun seeing a bigger picture.  Wish me well.  I'll use all the luck I can get.

Contact me if you're looking for work to add to your portfolio.  I have my irons in a number of fires and would be happy to include the right individuals.  I cannot at this time offer monetary compensation, unfortunately.  Be well, and breathe deep the change of the season.  Keep up the good works, Ye DirtBags of War... I won't stop paying it forward, please do the same. 

Peace, love, and eggs,
