Who am I?
who I am!
Advertising on TV has intrigued me for as long as I can remember. I loved to take photos of anything. I also loved reading and writing. I received an award for a writing piece at about 13 or 14 in a regional, statewide newsletter for BMX. I also wrote later for a different newsletter for BMX. That was basically the start of something I never finished. In High School, I received an A+ for a project in some type of Media class, comprised of just music from Ted Nugent and a slideshow of BMX racing. Simple but effective. I didn't even really try; I just threw it together, and the teacher told me it was outstanding. I pretty much never pursued it from that point till early 2000s, as I always loved photography and was a stay-at-home dad at the time, so I got to put what I had learned on computers to work. That's when EyeArt Media was born. Later in life, I worked with an author or two on a few projects. I launched an online magazine about cigars.
And here we are..

This is a piece that Tommy and I collaborated on in the early 2000s. Tommy passed away recently, and I thought it would be an honor to share our work together. We were set to make more, but we only decided to finish this one piece. The mountains are the region where I live in New Hampshire, and the beach is somewhere down in Florida, where Tommy and I went to school together in Tarpon Springs. A combination of the two different wondrous views.
