About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mountain goat..expaning her horizons

ABOUT ME

Shaking my booty to the rhythm on the street!

I like playing around, doing fun physical things like trapeze and acrobalance.

I love capturing street art before it is painted over and people's faces the way they are in that moment. Generally I shoot on an old film SLR.

Dumpster diving, hitch hiking, pool jumping, making art for the street and the home... fun sh*t always.

Findind a place of zen, alongside a place of spontaneity and life... is always a special combination.

PHILOSOPHY

Love only.

written in 2009:I have drive and visions but I also appreciate what the unvierse throws at me and believe taking opportunities is invaluable! I am allergic to bullshit!

written in 2007:i want to live out of the general social rules by adventure, travel, fun and personal journey. I'LL SEE WHERE THE WIND BLOWS ME....
