Ok, people have been asking for these, so, being the nice guy I am (no comment) I decided to comply and give people the opportunity to see me in various forms of photographic bliss. (Sure.... that made sense...) More pictures will be added as time goes by.

Following my pictures are pictures and links of my friends and family. (Wow!! They're even alphabetized!) Or, if you don't really feel like seeing all those (dare I honor them all by saying 'insane'?) people, skip to the end. There's now a section of a few selections of my art.

Have fun :)
