| Introduction | I'm a 39 year old guy in Minneapolis, MN - married to another great guy. We have 1 cat, 1 business,& 1 plan on getting outta this here country. I got involved with Flickr in January, 2006 when I got a new camera and have loved it. All of my photographs are my own - I have a very few scanned items as I like getting up close and personal with the actual camera, which could be because I'm near-sighted and things up close have always been clear to me even without glasses. who knows really - I just like a variety of stuff. Thanks for checking my photos out! I'm also a big fan of vintage illustrations and "Old Master" artworks, both painting and sculpture, so I'll post some of my collections of those as well. I own my own business and am actively involved in higher education as well, most recently at the University of Minnesota. I also sing with One Voice Mixed Chorus, a fun GLBT chorus here in the Twin Cities. Tadah! |
