Darwin's BIO
If you are a stalker, debt collector, or the Canadian Revenue Agency - I am dead. Otherwise you can find way more about me than anyone is really interested in here.
The short version is this: I love to take photos and have been doing so for nearly 25 years - it is a great job and a wonderful lifestyle. So far it is the best work I have come across for my personality (unless I figure out how to get paid to eat pizza and drink beer).
