Hello, I'm a photographer, painter and occasional art curator living in the East Bay, CA. I also like being in the outdoors, hiking, taking long walks and gardening. I'm generally easy going, but won't shy away from having in depth conversations about various subjects.
You may notice from my photos that I have a dark, but also fun and casual aspect to my aesthetic. I grew up watching all kinds of movies, but I had a strong attraction to the dark, romantic and spooky stuff. Every year, my father would drive us to Disneyland. These annual pilgrimages had a big impact on my imagination and later work as a artist and curator. In the art shows I curate, I endeavor to create a memorable experience that will delight, as well as, inspire.
When I was in college, I hung out with a lot of fellow punks, goths and other misfits in a university culture that was dominated by Greeks (ie fraternity and sorority types.) I wasn't necessarily anti Greek, but I did identify as a GDI as in: god damned independent
So, that's probably something you might want to know about me from the get go. I also have a somewhat bookish, homebody side to me, so if you are looking for the extroverted life-of-the-party type, well, that ain't me. That being said, I do love gardening, camping and a lot of things that could be described as "wholesome" and outdoorsy and I definitely do try to keep an open mind. I even like bluegrass, so I am an odd assortment of seeming contradictions.
Also: No offense, but I'm not interested in hook ups or long distance chats, so there's no point in writing to me if that's what you are looking for. We would not be a match, but good luck to you. Have fun and stay safe
