This site serves as my multi-media autobiography. It started from humble beginnings back when the internet was new, and has grown over the years in concert with my own life and life experiences. Naked Simplicity Origin Story - How it all began It remains a work in progress. Many essays are incomplete. Some pages are just placeholders. In fact the site as a whole will never be a completed work. As long as I continue to walk this earth and continue to produce work, I will continue to use this assemblage of media as a mouthpiece for my written word, and a showcase for my audio/visual productions. |
