Introductions and stuff






I don't really want to spend too much of my time on the internet unless its to find people to hang out with and do this blog. I've always loved taking pictures since i was a little kid. I have a ton of photographs sitting in boxes and its about time i blew the dust off them and did something with them. This blog thing i feel is for the present. I should post some new pictures of some NEW things going on.

This is me. I've worked on boats on and off since i was 12. The last few days of the 6th grade is when i went on my first couple trips. I didn't get paid much but you don't really expect to when you can't do a good portion of the labor. I really hated doing it up until half a year ago. I owe a great deal of good things i have to this job. Yea, i have to work real hard. Yea, the hours are crazy but there is so much about it that is awesome too. I am proud of what i do and where i come from. The only real tattoo idea i've ever had was of the family fishing boat that built my family into what it is today.

I used to get bummed out that i was a fisherman and i wasn't going to school but now i feel good about it. Its a huge part of who i am and where i come from. I can't sit in a classroom and learn about things that aren't interesting to me. I don't have the attention for it and i probably never will. I will say this: I am glad i don't have a ton of debt from school loans during these harsh times.
