I do OKC Profile Portraits in the Atlanta, GA. area.

I grew up on the beaches of Florida, but I don't know how to surf. I spent my youth playing soccer in the street, games around my mother's kitchen table, building tree forts, and playing in the gulf during hurricanes. I was into computers and games when I was young, but I've matured into an artist, writer, and photographer. I am playful and self deprecating when I'm respected, but confrontational and competitive when I'm not. I'm placating in life and dominant in bed. I lose on purpose if I know I'll win, and I never back down from a challenge.

If you want to know me, you'll have to understand and appreciate that I'm a bit of a nerd. I like the discovery channel and playing with matches. When I'm drunk, I talk about philosophy, religion, economics, and saturday morning cartoons. I enjoy nice shiny things, tall buildings, glass windows, and city lights. Mark my words, one day I'm gonna be on a boat. Don't you ever forget - already got my flippy-floppies.

women I typically like: shy, crazy, disturbed, goth, cuddly, punk, demure, spontaneous, artistic, literary, boring but cultured.

Mood: I want to drink the fuel straight from your lighter.

In a relationship...

I am the most easy going person you'll meet. I am affectionate, but I can give a girl her space, and sometimes need a little of my own. I am looking for a girl that is beautiful and I'm not going to lie about it, but you might be surprised what I find to be attractive. She has to be able to be spontaneous, slender, and subtle, communicate like an adult, and let the hard times roll off her back. A girl that I am with has to have interests of her own and she can't be ashamed to share them with me. I'm looking for a girl that is feminine and soft, who is natural and comfortable enough to make me fall in love with her when she's walking around the house in her pajamas. I want a girl who I can make feel beautiful even when she feels like she's ugly, and who can be beautiful even when she's not trying to be.

I want a girl with whom I'll never make small talk. I want a girl who I'll never have to lie to, because we tell the truth every time that we look at each other. I want a girl that breaks my heart every time I kiss her.

freelance photographer: fashion, glamor, wedding, event.
Art Editor for Share Magazine.

I'm a full time student at Kennesaw State University (KSU), majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies: professional writing and photography. I have a computer science certification, but I plastered the inside of my cubicle with pictures of David Hasselhoff and they asked me not to come back. I enjoy doing emotive, expressive, and glamor portrait, though architectural and landscape aren't bad either. My foundation is still in literature; I write short stories about smurfs, poetry about you, the first six pages of novels, and I collect fortune cookies.

I'm one of those people that learns how to do things pretty easily and quickly. I've always been talented at academics, sports, talking, and listening, but I probably couldn't tell you which way is North if I was standing on the South Pole. I also have a terrible memory. You shouldn't be surprised if I forget what I'm talking about in the middle of

I look like Fred Flintstone? Seriously, the first thing people usually notice about me is that I often change to fit the situation. It's not that I do not have my own sense of identity, but I like to make other people comfortable. I'd say that's probably a very large part of who I am. I don't connect with many people because of this. I don't impose my true nature onto others, so most don't know me very well at all; they know a version of me that I show to them. Most tend to like me for this reason, but I guess it's not really me that they like; it's just a measure of how well I can read them.

I'm usually the one that goes out of the way to break the ice when a group is quiet, but if I'm around a loud group of people I tend to be more reserved and easy-going. It might have something with the fact I liked to take the road less traveled, or perhaps it's simply that I like to be unique. Who really knows?

There is some irony, perhaps hypocrisy, in that I seek out people who are genuine, and it is only to those people that I show myself. In my heart there is light and there is shadow - in equal measure.

The greatest deterrent to satisfaction and contentment in my life is remembering that the tribulations of my life are illusions. It is too easy to spend an entire life devoted to the accumulation of wealth and status. The world is so old and we have such preciously little time to be here. It is most simple moments that contribute to a beautiful life.

There are times when I feel like I would be better off alone and put away the search for love. I am haunted by too many relationships that have made me feel ugly either in the flesh or in the heart. Yet, I can think of nothing that would do more to make me feel some amount of peace and calm in life than to love a woman who loves me in return.

A living thing can be replaced with another, but a life, once extinguished, is gone from the universe forever; and so, there is evil in making war where there could be peace instead, though the grief of death can be forgotten. However, to be unable to make war when evil visits upon those you love is another kind of evil. The sort of which a man can never forget.

We have an enormous world full of people and places. There is no limit to the number of accomplishments a person can achieve in their life, and yet for all the things we can have and all of the things we can do, our entire world is only an echo in the night sky of some other. All I really want is to, at the end of my life, sit down with an true friend, a chuckle, and say, "Good times."

... I could also deal with some Sour Gummi Bears.

"People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born."

I might be leaning back in my luxury office recliner and working on the monitor tan, I could just off to the kitchen to fix myself a bowl of cereal, or maybe I'm just checking out some of the fine ladies that send me personalized Viagra discount coupons on the inter-web. I might be rocking out to an old mix tape I made for a cheerleader who slapped me in 7th grade, trying on some of the cardboard cologne samples out of magazine, but most likely I'm hanging with my crew in line outside of Wal-Mart in hopes that they get in a shipment of Wii's.

I'm not that amazing or impressive. I'm just looking for a girl with whom I can flirt, hang out, and carry a conversation. I enjoy sex, but that's easy to come by, and not what I'm concerned about. I'm extremely faithful in a relationship, and take some amount of pleasure in turning down other women to be loyal my girl. I can be jealous and vengeful when betrayed, but I don't have any objection to, and in fact derive some amusement from, her flirting with other people as long as there is some trust built between us and I know who she'll come home to. Even then, it's easier for me just to stick to the one girl.

... if you see that I am not the movies you have seen or the magazines you have read, nor am I the guy you will show off to your friends, but rather that I am more than the sum of my wit, my flaws, my ambitions, and this imperfect fiction.
