    I’m heartless animal that spends my time skateboarding, making music and trying to sexually accost my wife. I have traded in booze and not coming home for excessive amounts of sugar and learning tre’ flips. I am currently living out a box in my kitchen like some sort of hallway hobo. Someone has been leaving really odd messages in my mail box droning on about Jesus, sexless Mondays and Ugg boots.

  21. Dan Masek

    I enjoy shooting almost anything really. I make a living though by combining usually a musical subject and yes, a motion-picture camera of some sort. Whether someone is shooting for me or I myself am behind the lens, capturing the art and essence of music with a camera is what interests me the most. I have always had the philosophy of being open minded when shooting an artist. Rather than create a scene, I tend to let the footage do the talking.

The bottom line is I'm on here to embarrass myself with gay photos and cute comments, peaceout brau! <.
