This year has been an interesting one...

January 19
My niece, Elektra was born. The date is significant because it is Edgar Allan Poe's birthday. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge Poe fan. Two years ago, I created a Poe web site and this year it has become the most popular Poe site on the net -> www.poestories.com

February 15
My birthday was uneventful and a little sad. Jen, one of my best friends, moved to Portland, and another girl who claimed to be a friend, discarded our friendship for her new psycho jealous boyfriend.

My close friend Amanda, died of a heroin overdose. She had recently moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in web design. She was an amazing artist, photographer, model, and philosopher. I had just talked to her the week before. She said she missed me and wanted me to come visit her. I wish I had. She was 26. Her myspace -> [link]

While on my annual road trip from FL to NY, I spent the day with the most amazing person I have ever met. She is a singer songwriter poet dancer photographer gypsy hacker magician. Oh, and she loves Edgar Allan Poe. One day we shall meet again.

Kiewit, one of the biggest construction companies in the world did a Google search for a time lapse photographer in Florida and found my gallery show time lapse from earlier this year. After meeting with them, they hired to me to do a time lapse film of a huge bridge construction project in Miami. It was hugely successful. I'll have it online at some point.

November 22
My mom and I brought my dad home after he nearly died from going to the hospital for a voluntary knee surgery. After the operation, he was pumped full of painkillers and put in a room with someone who was very ill. My dad caught pneumonia and had to be moved to ICU. Stay away from hospitals- they kill people. Don't believe me? look it up.
