WRITING:
"I strive to write the simple words that turn the pictures in the minds of common folk (like me).
"Writing for internet search engines is a bit different approach, though."
CREATIVE:
"I like vanilla ice cream (and intuitive interface)."
DESIGN:
"I design around content to showcase content.
"I think this approach is what separates my visual style from typical graphic designers; I can produce my own original content and I rarely create a presentation around graphics or technology."
DEADLINE:
"Driven!
"I'm the guy people hire to come in and punch straight lines through their deadlines."
HUMOR:
PHOTOGRAPHY:
"Photography is the easiest tool in the bag for me to use. I specialize in people photography with over 20 years daily experience directing people for photo shoots.
"If you take a moment to STOP & LOOK then I did my job...".
