    Biography: Having fun! :-)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Some of my personal favorites:






    ... Need a good laugh? Click the duck -->

    Awesome definition by NikonJeb - "Edioting: The situation that results when you screw around with too much editing in an idiotic fashion."

    Sage advice, courtesy of hopper - "a big part of doing well here involves understanding how people are going to vote ... even if you don't agree with how people are going to vote."

    Wise words by JohnFord - "I believe that photography is our way of stopping that relentless clock that is ticking away our precious time."
