Ok, here goes, I am 34 Years old, Divorced and have custody of my teenage son. We live in the middle of Arkansas' Wine Country, and that makes for some mighty pretty scenery.
I have been crazy about cars since I was old enough to open my eyes and see them on the Highways my family called home...
We travelled a lot... dad made fishbait, sold it himself to many little shops across the south. We would sometimes be in three states within a day's time...
I learned music and rhythm from old worn out 45 records of classic (well, now days it's called that) country and rock & roll that filled the old wurlitzer jukeboxes from Florida to my Grandmother and Grandfather's steakhouse in Bartlesville, OK. and many now defunct truck stops and road side cafes in between...Remember how the old pink and white uniforms made the already attractive waitresses look even more so? Yeah, I noticed this from an early age...My heart was stolen (or so I thought) by at least a hundred of them before I was even 5 years old...then I met my Kindergarten teacher in Bacliff Texas...to this day, the only evidence I have of just how much a hottie she was is a faded old Kodak 110 photo of her and I that my Mother took in front of the door to the classroom...lets see....she would probably be in her late 50s now...probably STILL a hottie.....
I picked up a pen and a piece of paper during one of the rare weekends at home when I was 4 years old...my first picture was of "a turtle eating grass", to be followed several months later of my musical hero, The Man in Black, Johnny Cash....for some reason, I pictured him as someone who left home with all his belongings in a bandana tied to a stick and thrown over his back...I even put the scar on the side of his face...a picture of someone who was restless staying at home, someone who wanted to just "GO, man GO!" just for the sake of going....I guess, this early idea of the person I idealized, whether true or not, was to be the path I would follow myself...one who cant stand the status quo...a person that wants to see things most people never see in life...
My first camera was an old Brownie Hawkeye Flash model, complete in the box with original batteries, and a few old flash bulbs. I bought it at a carport sale at the very house that I now own. Back in the early 80s, you could still get film that worked in it at your local Wxx~Mart. It was with this little camera that I learned to make multiple exposures that resembled ghostly apparitions, and that they just wont print some photos at the 1-hour photo place. Darned Censors...wasn't anything bad, just artistic stuff that some people would rather see burned than to allow someone to exercise their freedom of expression, besides, what bad stuff would a 10 year old have to say anyway???
So, I am starting this business venture....where is it going to take me? Who knows....
only time will tell...
