Here is a little about my life. For starters I am living in Tulsa for the time being. Time will only tell how long I remain here but for now it is working out. Besides, I have no other place that interests me at the moment.

Photography is a hobby of mine. Take a moment to look at some images and tell me what you think. [Gallery]
