Me:
Grew up in rural Maine on a lake; my graduating high school class had 47 people in it; went to RIT and had 2,000 people in my graduating class; studied art history and Italian language in Florence; lived in a camper down by the river for 2 summers photographing white water rafters; worst driving experience by far was in Pireas, Greece; had the opportunity to go into Etruscan tombs all over Tuscany and felt a little bit like Indiana Jones; have a visceral fear of all snakes even the little non-poisonous ones kind of like Indian Jones; own two little Boston Terriers and love them more than I could have imagined; enjoy riding my bike to local wineries for tastings; stood at the Washington Monument for Obama’s Inauguration and loved every minute of it; mom still mails me homemade cookies for all the major and minor holidays; I hope that my photographs will make a positive difference in the world or at least make more people smile.
