Me.BIOI used to be a medical technologist (member of the A.S.C.P. and all that) -- my background was mostly in hematology, immunology and clinical chemistry. While working at American Red Cross (merging all three of those together) I went to Loyola of Los Angeles law school. Now I'm an attorney in private practice (although I still keep my medical technologist's license current and I still do research from time to time).

I am allergic to cats and live with 16 of them - most of whom are handicapped (maimed by people or cars ... in one case just plain mad as a hatter). And two dogs too. So, a lot of my photos and other artwork are of them.

I've had no artistic training, none in photography either. I'm just a wannabe when it comes to art, but I'm working hard to improve and I have hope of attending art school someday.
