28-year-old man in Johnstown, PA, United States
Seeking a woman, 18 to 99
I would describe myself as...

I am an INFJ/P passionate about the arts and knowledge. I'm psychologically androgynous and tire of the predictability of the gender stereotypical. Intellectually curious, I am always striving for self-development. My temperament leans towards the melancholic and elegiac, for I seek beauty in the unconventional.

You'll often find me...

Painting.

When not capturing my personal visions I turn my eye outwards in photographing the world around me in all its qualities of mundane or unconventional beauty. I may be treading among people like a social anthropologist, capturing gestures or expressions, or wandering like a lone dreamer through quiet cemeteries and forests.

Two things I can't live without...

* The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
* Lamy 2000

The bravest thing I've done recently...

Awaken.

I am particularly good at...

* Painting. I've had success being awarded, selling artwork, and having gallery representation. But more than institutionalized accolades I enjoy touching someone deeply in way words often cannot.
* Computers.
* Photography.
* Intelligent conversation.
* Playing tour guide in art museums :P

My favorite literary quotes are...

"The only eternal love is what is thwarted" - Albert Camus

""The idea is to talk about the highest form of human art, and in my opinion the highest form of human art is tragedy. " - Maurizo Cattelan
