BIOBorn in Brooklyn, N.Y. (Yo! Vinny)
One brother, one sister.
At the age of three my parents decided to move
us all to a tiny mind numbing town in upstate
N.Y. where I became a smart ass brat, got into
tons of trouble, was thrown out of school at fifteen, got a job with Dad and drove trucks for twenty years! Until... Still being a smart ass, I lost my license drag racing, drinking beer, and telling a cop what he could do with his night stick! (he took me literally, it wasn't pretty)Anyway, I finally decided to get my act together. I took a class and recieved my GED where I was introduced to computers. I liked what I could do and decided to learn more. Eight months of applications for financial aid later I wound up in Ulster County Community College where I achieved an Associate Degree in Advertising Design and Graphics Technology... and to my suprise (and everyone's who knew me) Graduation with honors and a scholorship to New York University... Where I recieved a BS, and where I am now employed as an instructor and staff of their Multimedia lab. So now I teach a photoshop class along with co-teaching a video production class and create Educational Videos (not those kind, get your minds out the gutter) I work in all aspects of production from conception to post-production editing where I have my most fun creating graphics, intros, and special effects to incorporate into the video.
Ok, now I want everyone who reads this to e-mail me and tell me if you believe this story or not!

Thats probably a pound a Dew in the little black bag...you know how it goes...some people can walk around with a necklace of buds wrapped around their neck and no one says a word...and someone else can have a dewbie in the ashtray and get 10 years...luck of the draw...excellent shot...reminds me of the sixties

precious moment that you share. It seems out of time, out of chaos.. then you look within the dof background and you get he's actually immersed in chaos. Wonderful hiatus.
