There was a time... When an old lady was young, when towers fell, when smoking was cool, when a father cried holding his new born, when a football team had an upset, when troops came home, when people came together to build a home for someone in need, when friends got together for frisbe, when a high school band had their first gig, and there was a time when imaginations were limited by technology. It is my passion to capture these times, and to bring the images in my head to reality.

Rex
This is my girlfriend's neighbor Rex. He lives in a garage and recycles lawn mowers for his only source of income. Rex makes around $6000 a year. He knows everything there is to know about his craft and even showed me the "Ferrari" of lawn mowers. He also has a large, beautiful garden he maintains. Rex (like most interesting subjects) is a talker. I spent about 2 hours talking with (listening to) him. He struck me as one of those insane genius types. He talked about anything from lawn mower mechanics to Egyptian lore. Crazy or not Rex was fun to listen to and made for great frames.
