Honest Scrap
My friend, Cassie, tagged me in a post the other day and I figured it would be a fun way to start off the week. I have to post 10 facts about myself that you don’t know and tag 6 other bloggers. This is a great idea. I would love to do it!
1.) Most people see me dressed up or wearing a shirt with sleeves long enough to cover some pretty big tattoos. I have 5 tattoos, but one of them has been covered up with a new tattoo, so technically 4. The one on my left arm has a globe, eagle and anchor to symbolize the Navy and Marines. It also has the initials of my father and grandfather in it as they both served in the Navy or Marines and have both passed away.

2.) A lot of people that don’t know me well don’t know that I love motorcycles. I get on the bike and just ride for the day to clear my head. It is the best therapy out there.

3.) I love a lot of different music. Lately it has been leaning a little more towards rock, but for a large portion of my life I have been listening to r&b and hip hop. I am especially partial to 90s hip hop.
4.) I created the Capital Region Photography Meetup group here in Albany to help others grow their passion for photography.
5.) Winter time is really rough for me. I can’t ride the motorcycles, and I lose my desire to take pictures. From late fall after the leaves fall until early spring when things start to bloom again, I get into a slump and don’t shoot much.
6.) I don’t drink alcohol very often. Because of the migraines I get, I barely ever drink. It’s not that I don’t like drinking, I just get headaches so frequently that I don’t want to give myself one intentionally.
7.) I am a LOST junkie. I have seen every episode in Seasons 1-5 a minimum of 3 times. Very sad to see it end this year.
8.) I am a huge Ferrari fan. Actually, most high end sports cars. I fell in love with them in the late 90s when I started visiting Lime Rock in Lakeville, CT. I have been obsessed with them ever since.

9.) I am a water rat. Growing up, I spent my summers in the pool from morning til night. I can spend hours in the pool.
10.) I have spent the last four years with the most amazing woman. She treats me like a king, and she loves riding motorcycles as well. I am very lucky to have her in my life.

The World Through My Lens 
I did NOT know you got migraines. Those bite, seriously! I guess I wouldn’t either. (Mine are random, usually just stress, but I feel your pain.)
I think we all go into hibernation in the winter. This one has been particularly long it seems……
Love the tats, but then I’ve seen them before. 😉
Yeah, the migraines suck, but the doctor has me on an anti-depressant (migraine preventative) and it has slowed them down considerably. So, that’s a good start. You have never seen the tats? I thought you had.
My 6 and 10 are posted 🙂
Thanks Honey!
Thanks for playing! I knew most of them but I did not know you were a “water rat.” I was never a huge fan of swimming. I more of a beach or lounge chair kind of girl.
I couldn’t find the pic of me doing a back flip off the diving board. It’s my trademark dive! I also grew up near the ocean, so when I wasn’t in the pool, I was there.
Thanks for the tag, sweetie.
I’m the same way about wintertime. I think it’s a SAD thing (seasonal affective disorder or something like that). Maybe it’s just a lack of vitamin D from not being out in the sun. Whatever it is, it sucks. But we can both smile because Spring is almost here. 🙂 xxxooo
I can’t wait to see that sunshine come back around. I can see myself on the Harley screaming thru corners and smiling like an idiot! Come on Spring!
