About Me/Us:

I like photography, poetry, history, learning, all kinds of creativity. I always try to be a friend to those who feel unwanted. There are many of them in our society. I am inspired by those who bring hope into the world. I can often be found wandering the streets of Philly or New York, but I'm not lost. I'm searching. Searching for a photo to take, inspiration for a poem, or maybe for a history article to write, or maybe just to find a stranger who I can bring a smile to. I love to explore many cultures. Maybe that's because I come from a very international family. Or maybe I'm just curious. I hope that, in the end, my life will have made some good impact on the world, and that I might be able to make someone elses life a little better durring my time here on this twirling ball we call earth as it hurdles through the cosmos.
