About meI am a lawyer [civil rights/discrimination law] and more recently a fine arts photographer. I have been fortunate and traveled to many countries and recorded images of life in each place. I want to share how people work and play or capture the abstract images or scenery of a place. Architecture, patterns, line and color, vistas and landscapes, fascinate me; I try to see and capture something beyond a typical picture of them. I am still in the early portion of what will be an increasingly professional development of my talents and artistic taste.

About my libraryAfter giving Stars to various books I'm remembering that because I won't read a book all the way through if I really don't like it, most or all of my books end up with 3-5 stars and it takes alot to get to 5.
My personal favorites are mysteries [historical, locked room, British, or anything with great character development and challenging intricacy] and Historical
Fiction [more historical than fiction if possible]. While I tended to focus on Medieval England, I've become more fascinated with other periods of history. I also find Biography and certain non-fiction worthwhile reading.

GroupsCrime, Thriller & Mystery, Historical Fiction, Richard III
