Profile
City: Cave Junction
Country: United States
I’ve been a long haul trucker, a Porsche mechanic, cowboy, tow truck operator, pump jockey. The list goes on. I am now retired and I spend my time as a musician, photographer, graphic artist and writer.
I live in a little slice of paradise in southern Oregon and I am hopelessly addicted to photography in all it’s wonderful forms!
Peace and good vibes to all!

Remorse

What about them
What about them / What about the faces / on the evening news / What do I say to them / while I’m putting on my shoes
Last Walk
Pardon me for askin’ / don’t it seem a little odd? / How people keep on killin’ / and dyin’ in the name of God.
Distraction
old man / haggard / staggers / along the pathway / through the park
He's Keepin' His Saddle
He used to stand tall / and the ladies admired him / he was always top hand / for any outfit that hired him
