<br=clear all>Greetings. My main interests here are photography, writing, screenprinting, serigraphy, art, law, travel. If there are articles in these areas that you'd like me to consider creating, go ahead and leave me a note on my talk page.

Special Wikipedia issues: I travel extensively, currently living in Austin, Texas, USA and Cuernavaca, Mexico. So my IP address changes quite often, so while you may see that I use shared IP addresses, I always log in using my User Name to make corrections to Wikipedia. Any corrections from a shared IP address, which do not have my specific User Name are not my doing. I am very careful to make only factional corrections to entries.

Vandalism is the biggest threat against Wikipedia, in my opinion. Please do your part to help, by making only entries which can be backed by reference and include the reference in all cases.
