--Photography: I am a serious amateur phtogapher by hobby. By this I mean, although I do photo work for publications, brouchure work, participate in shows, and have had many photos used in both web based and print materials I do not make my sole living by it.
---Biking: living where it is possible to utilize a bike for almost all of my daily activities, this is my main means of transist everywhere. Although I do have an auto it remains parked most of the time. I am an avid cyclist and support all biking related activities.
Most nights and weekends I will be found traversing this city by bike loaded with photo gear searching out things to photograph.

---My father passed away in 1984 and my mom is still with us, although suffering from Alzheimers. In February 2008, my brother and I had to relocate her out of Atlanta to a facility closer to the two of us. She is currently in Greensboro, NC and doing as well as can be expected. With this move of my mom from Atlanta, regrettably, all of my immediate family is now out of the Atlanta area.
