28. Like everyone, a huge fan of traveling. B movies. 120 film. Scifi/post apocalyptic movies.. Spicy foods/strong beers. Every band should have an accordion or violin. I mostly take pictures of musicians for a living. My previous job was the same, but replace musicians w/dolphins. For the most part this is where I place recent photos, hoping someone out there will take a gander (and let me know what they think!). There’s also the occasional nerdy reblog. No biggie. For more specifics, become a “friend” or “like” on the facebook. Recommend this blog! var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
