Photography and Traveling are two of my interests covered on other pages. This page I primarily reserve for writing and other non-Research work. My major influences are James Fenimore Cooper and Ernest Hemingway for prose, Walt Whitman (the ultimate egotist) and Pablo Neruda for Poetry. As a climber, my prose tends to be dominated by the mountains as subject material so I hope you enjoy it. As for poetry...I think of poetry as a way of distilling passion onto paper; so the subject matter tends towards things that inspire me for good or ill. Most of this work was done several years ago.
