True Taurus, but no bull guy.   Patient, reliable, persistent and determined.  Enjoys physical beauty, materialistic and possessive.  Former G.I.Joe collector, former guitar pedal collector, and now, film camera collector.

I love shooting anything and everything; but I especially love shooting people.  I'm introverted but eager to meet new people.  I have been carrying a camera with me everyday and shooting strangers on the streets for 8 years now.

"My camera is a wrecking-ball around my neck, swinging toward the butterflies in my stomach."
