Hello everyone. I’m a Sacramentan swimming in the arts of photography, music, writing and fractals. For cameras, I use the Nikons D90 & D80 DSLR’s and a digital compact Panasonic TZ4 “pocket rocket”. As a musician, I’ve been a keyboardist for about 45 years, playing professionally for the last 43, have 5 albums of original music, and numerous songs. As a writer, I have a small book of adult short stories, numerous poems, a few rants & essays, and the occasional unidentified rambling. :-) I use any free fractal program I can find but lean hard towards Incendia, tho Apophysis 2.02 and ChaosPro rock well these days. I sometimes pretend to be a humorist so humour me. :-D The results can be video disaster but what the heck. Alrighty then!
NEW!!!!! NEW!!!!! NEW!!!!!
I am VERY happy to announce my music is now being hosted by You Tube as “videos”. They are mostly my contact information but a few have a slide show of art you see in my Red Bubble portfolio.
Here’s my BigCatLenny You Tube Channel, one you can watch without joining or signing up for anything. Pop on it and you can leave comments at either site and I will get notifications in email. Enjoy!!!

I haven’t found any single subject that captures my full interest or attention as a specialty so my art ranges from ‘light paintings’ to the moon to ambient sounds – literally. Basically, I’ve shot anything I’ve seen and a few things I can’t without macro photography. If it’s out there or between my ears, it might be in here. :-)
If you or anyone you know are interested in something I’ve produced, I’d love to hear from you and will gladly personalize any purchase. Also, titles are put on art the way you see them in Red Bubble. If a title bugs you but you love the piece, I’ll make a non-public title more to your liking.
Thanks for coming to my profile page and reading. :-) (Of course I’m assuming you’re reading or you wouldn’t be reading this). Please also enjoy my Galleries where it’s easier to find my art by categories:
Wildlife ~ Anything wild and free that knows no bounds
Weedy Field ~ This is a wonderful piece of undeveloped land between office buildings where the wildlife and I share a special relationship.
Birds ~ Birds of my neighbourhood, the woods, mountains, and shores are here.
Water ~ I have a special fascination for water in all forms.
Structures ~ Anything manmade might be found in here.
Flowers ~ Some of the first images I shot as a semi-professional photographer were flowers.
Fractals ~ Computer art using a small mountain of freeware programs.
Animals of the Nevada County Faire ~ Some of the fun sights at the 2008 faire.
Mushrooms, lichen and other life ~ While the first two subjects in this group are obvious, the last one will be anything that doesn’t fit in other lifeform groups.
The Face-To-Face Series ~ ...a collection of my encounters with life that seems to take an interest in MY face as much as I take in THEIRS! Caution: some faces only a mother could love!!!! (Some say ‘mine included!’)
Images From Graveyards Of The West ~ Some of the area’s most unique past respectfully captured mostly in black & white
The Empire Mine: Gold Mining From California’s Gold Rush Era ~ Exactly what it sounds like: Gold Country history with a focus on the rich Empire Mine – where gold still exists as before!

What you need…
Life is…
I’m usually not one to make huge overreactionary (That’s not really a word but I’m coining it right now so feel free to use it at will) changes…
50 things about me you don’t know or even give a rodent’s rump about…
It was a day not unlike any other day…
