Hi it's me Amy. For those of you who don't already know me we shall do a quick recap. Let see ... Born and raised in the heart of Dixie. I spent most of my life trying to get out. As I believe most everyone does or did growing up in Mobile. I have never been successful. Most people from here know that Mobile has its very own gravitational pull. Even most people who make it out of Mobile get pulled back eventually. I think that's why I have not tried yet. Learning from peoples mistakes to make sure I get it right the first time.

Actually that is my #1 learning tool watching and learning from everyone's mistakes. Not to even remotely suggest that I am without mistakes. Ask anyone who knows me,oh who am I kidding this is Mobile you could just ask anyone( the gossip chain in this town is incredible). Anyway lets see....I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had not gone through some of the small slices of HELL that I have been through, but that always leads me back to the thought of ...then I would not be the Person I am Today. Which despite a few small flaws I am very ok with. So who is this Person I am Today....lets see.

I spend my days at work those of you who are familiar with the site have probably seen me at Savage Lab. This has to be best place in Mobile to work,well maybe I am a little bias but it is my story. I work with the coolest people and we throw the most wonderful parties. Most of the time it is great. It is work and as with any job there are ups and downs. I am the lab manger. That means my job is to keep everyone happy. I think it works most of the time. Working at Savage is a big part of my life and not just because I spend forty percent of my day there, its because it is an inspirational place to be. Working in a field of creative and talented people who share and teach. I know that I probably would not put as much love into my photography if paths had led me in a different direction three years ago when the lab I use to work for closed and I had a vocational lapse. But thanks to Stephen Savage I got to continue my photographic journey.

My photography. It all started with a Polaroid one step.....and a love of all things beautiful. That's my main motivation for making images. My world is full of beautiful things and I have this uncontrollable desire to show everyone what I see. you know like that two year old child that tugs on your hand saying " look at that , look at this look look....." That's is how I live my artistic view. Looking at such a beautiful world thinking that if I can't share this with other people I will just BUST!

This leads me on to the most beautiful thing in my life. Nick. I am one of those sick people who is madly and deeply in love with someone who is so perfect for me, like a movie. I fact there have been several occasions were everything was so perfect I actually had to stop and wait for the scene change where the bad guys come in and kill everyone because nothing could be this wonderful.

Ok I will stop because I know if I was me a few years ago reading this mushy crap I would have thrown up. But that is what makes this so weird.

Like every good Gemini I have a couple of different people inside this head of mine. My best girlfriend in the whole world Super D, also know as Darlene used to call them Her and She. You know She did this and I know that had be Her. So I am a little crazy.

I usually keep my lunatic in check now a days, except for full moons, seasonal changes, whiskey nights, and on the occasion of Midnight Margaritas.

I am a product of my own imagination governed mostly by my passions and desires. I like living this way. I have found through experiences that the most important thing in life is being happy and happy is a state of mind.

Thank you for listening.

Enjoy my life.

Amy / Luna
