Your Bio

I'm a 44 year old who lives in Las Vegas with my partner Allen and our dog Sake (hence the name). We have lived here since 1995 and been married since 1993. We are both theatrical stage managers. I am currently Stage Manager onboard Holland America's newest ship, Eurodam.
I am the photographer of the family. I went from a Nikon N50 to Nikon N70 which I love as a 35mm camera and I have now gone to digital with a Panasonic FZ20. Thanks for taking the time to check out my site!

DREAM JOB = Being paid to travel and taking pictures! Oh wait! I'm doing that now!!!

Monarch of the Seas to Ensenada : Took the RCCL Monarch of the Seas from LA to Ensenada (3 days) on April 14, 2006. It was a great trip, I bought it as a birthday gift for my mother who had never been on a cruise. It was a bit cold but cleared up nicely for sea day. We had Junior Suite 1580 and it was great. We did Sail-Away from LA in the Royal Suite as friends were in it. Hope you enjoy the pics. You can click on the picture to make it larger. As always, comments are welcome.
