I'm an odd dude who studies a lot of different fields for fun. Although computers are involved with many of my creative projects, I love physically creating; it then follows suite that I identify with Gutai art, a movement that considers materials are a conduit to abstract thought when given life through human interaction. People agree I'm a Neo-Dadaist. Any photographic imagery I use is done by me. I get a big kick out of capturing slices of time. I like learning history because that is how the present is given transcendent meaning. So, uh, I dig folks like tin-plate photographer Carleton Watkins, because he went out into the wilderness by himself to find beauty, and he captured it on gooey and unwieldy slabs, which became sought after. It's a good ideal to ascribe to.
I studied horticulture for several years before concentrating on art, and I haven't forgotten the perspectives it gave me...and the aspiration to find specimen plants like Pokemon.

If you want to connect, try my instagram; It's a visual blog where I post culture musings, my projects, and my cat.
