My self-summary
I am a freelance wildlife photographer that specializes in wading and shorebirds, though any subject is fair game. Like going out in nature and capturing the beauty I find there. I have other interests as well. I find self promotion quite difficult, at least on a personal level. Anyway, female companionship, going out to dinner, a movie, along with stimulating conversation of course , sure would be nice.
What I’m doing with my life
The drought ended, out in the field more often. Still have backlog of thousands of images to process with my computers and photoshop. Recently I bought a house in Sugar Land and I'm just now settling in. I lived in apartments in Houston for a number of years, and its strange how one can get used to fire truck, police and ambulance sirens, the occasional police helicopter hovering overhead, and the sound of gunshots every once in a while. I don't miss them at all!
I’m really good at
Teaching photography and image editing. Also good at conversation about just about anything..
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I like art books, especially with images by the classical artist. Many favorite books , but I especially like anything by Dean Koontz and John Irving ( A Widow for One Year one of his best ). If I were pressed to pick my absolute favorite, it would be Coldheart Canyon by Clive Barker. Music: classic rock, country (especially Suzi Bogguss, the Belamy Brothers, the Mavericks, Blackhawk ), classical music. I have a terrible habit of sometimes listening to the same music over and over again if I really like it. Examples;
Across a Crowded Room (Rodgers and Hammerstein from South Pacific)
Lucky Man (Emmerson Lake and Palmer)
Hallelujah (Rufus Wainwright's version)
I Don't Remember Loving You (John Conlee)
Runaway Train (Rosanne Cash), and a few others.
TV: Dexter, South Park, Burn Notice
Food; most anything but sushi.
The six things I could never do without
My 4x4 truck
my photographic equipment and computers
my family and friends
my ability to learn things very quickly
my house and ac
nature
I spend a lot of time thinking about
something I woud rather not think about; the stock market

Other than that I think about upcoming photographic excursions, my interest in converting photographs to art, and lately; the possibility that I might find a woman to share things with.
I’m looking for

  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends
You should message me if
you live relatively close to Sugar Land, Texas (no more than 20 miles and this is extremely important !) and you are able to carry on an intelligent conversation on a variety of subjects, from history, nature, technology, literature, world events, to something like how I can set up a garden in my back yard.
I think that comparing answers with "the two of us" is incredibly useful, and tells me more than the profiles. Sure, profiles tell me what you like to do, what your desires are, but the answers to questions tell something about how you think, especially when you elaborate on your answers. How you think is more important to me.
Religion and politics are quite important as well, and I though it would be appropriate for me to express my point of view so you can weigh these factors in deciding if you should contact me or not.
Although I am tolerant of most religions, other than ones that have members that want to destroy this country, I think religion is a personal quest, and though it sounds trite, is something between you and your God. I don't think having the same religious beliefs is necessary for a successful relationship. If, in your profile, the first thing you say is that God is the most important thing to you (which doesn't leave much for us mere mortals?), you feel compelled to declare you are a devout Christian woman at the onset, and the bible is foremost on your reading list, I think "we have issues" which OKCupid so aptly puts it. My dad always said church was the best place to meet women, and if I was devoutly religious, thats were I would start. Aren't there Christian dating sites as well? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm not a Christian, just that it is possible to make it an obsession, which I don't think is particularly healthy.
Politics is even more of touchy subject. I am a fiscal conservative, though socially I am more of a centrist in that I refuse to align with the dogma of either party, or any dogma for that matter. I think political decisions need to be based on verifiable facts and reason, taking into account consequences that very often only require a study of history. Voting a particular way because it makes you feel good and not what is best for society has proven very costly indeed.
Now that we have this stuff out of the way, and you still want to contact me, be my guest!
