CURRENT MISSION

Travel and taking pictures are my hobbies.

64-year-old father of two adult children, one a stand-up comedian (What are you laughing about?) and the other a graduate student in a PsyD program at at mid-Atlantic grad school.

My primary interests are art museums, theatre, law office technology, French culture, and digital photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Would have couch surfed in Sichuan, China in Spring 2014, but ended up renting an apartment through Air B&B with my travel buddy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved somebody's life once. I really did not expect it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in people who are open-minded, perceptive and opinionated.

I know something about the Mac office environment, data encryption, Adobe Lightroom, Nik Photo Efex Pro, high dynamic range images, and full-frame digital photography.

My photos appear at http://www.flickr.com/photos/21226585@N02.

Professionally, I have experience in divorce, estate planning and small business law in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. I am particularly interested in the psychology of human relations.
