Basically, I'm a photographer, hiker, lover of nature, people watcher, loner but loves talking with real people, tech nut, speaks fluent legal-eze, butcher of the French language, observer, not much into social networking or email but I'll make an attempt, a lovable cynic and oh I have lupus, lupus does not have me.
