It seems funny how the regular members here are either young teens or married adults with kids. :lol:

In any case, I'm somewhere in between. My name is Mia and I'm 21. I'm a college student pursuing a bachelor of fine arts in photography. I may go for my Master's later on and maybe teach photography. Photography is my first love, as you can probably guess. I fell in love with it at 15 and it became my creative outlet for all my teenage angst. I dabble in other art forms too like figure drawing, mixed media collage, graphic design and printmaking. And body art too I guess. I have a few tattoos and don't plan on stopping any time soon!

My subject matter pretty much boils down to human figures and still lifes. My "style" is still very much in development, but my work gravitates toward dark, gritty, surreal, obscure, metaphorical, etc. I love abstract & surreal art and anything that has an open meaning or interpretation. I like to be challenged when it comes to art, I don't want it to be spoon fed to me. ;)

Aside from art, I also love cooking and making drinks. Anything involving eating and drink, I am probably into. :D I love experimenting with ingredients, spices, sauces and cooking methods. I love sushi, I'm somewhat of a sushi connoisseur. I'm also an amateur bartender 8-) yes I will be checking IDs, young'uns!

I love traveling, which often goes hand in hand with photography. I went to Indonesia last winter and it was magnificent! I've also been to Denmark, Iceland, Germany and Mexico. :) Plus various states in the USA. I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area, but also lived in Albuquerque, NM for a couple years when I was younger. I often miss the desert when the bay area feels too cold, gray, and crowded.

What else, I'm an animal lover, owned by two male cats which are pretty quirky. One is currently suckling on my shirt. :roll: I love all types of music, from metal to hip hop to classical. I don't exercise as often as I should, but I'm getting really into yoga. I'm half white, half Hispanic. I hardly ever watch TV, but I spend lots of time on the internet. :geek:

Here's a pretty recent photo of me, though I don't always look like this. :lol: I was dolled up for a metal show. :twisted: The guy is my little brother, he's 19. Yeah, I know. :shock:

Wow, and he's your "little" brother. Can't imagine if you have a "big" brother. Thanks for the Intro Mia.

Hah, yep he's pushing 6'2"! It's crazy. He's the only sibling though, no big brothers.

OK, my turn...folks know me as English Springer or E.S., but my name is Dave.
I live in the burbs of Baltimore but grew up in the foothills of western Maryland before heading to the big city and going to college. I grew up in a town that had more cows than people and days were spent hunting, fishing and playing some kind of sports
I am 47, married with three kids. My oldest is studying Arabic in Oman at the present and has travelled to Jordan, Egypt and other Middle Eastern contries. My other two are typical teenage boys, both into sports playing for their school and travel teams.
I got back into CP's this spring after having a nice collection of VFT's in high school which all promptly died when I went away to college. Besides CP's I enjoy astronomy, reading and football and have Ravens season tickets. I also like to fish and usually hit the Chesapeake Bay once a week to fish for rockfish (Striped Bass). I also have a beautiful English Springer Spaniel (my avatar) Maddy, who does everything with me and is my # 1 friend.
Being probably one of more..ahem...mature folks on this site I have really ejoyed the vast array of the younger member's posts about all kind of topics...What could be better than seeing Allen and Lily go back and forth??!!

I tip my cap to Matt for setting up such a great site and look forward to hanging around for a long time.

Of course, I always end my posts with...
Peace!

I live in New Mexico an I'm currently going to college at UNM (University Of New Mexico) an I'm a former NASA Employee fun times.. oh hopefully i get my Masters this coming spring hehe.. an I'm aiming for my PhD in Physics. I started growing Venus Flytraps when i was 4-1/2 well almost when i was 5. Made my fair share of mistakes on their care an learned from them. I'm sorry if you can't really "read" what I'm writing i suck at English Lol. This year had alot of up's and downs but everyone here on this forum was here to help me.. thanks guys.
