I am a native of the Buffalo metro area. In my spare time, I frequent BuffaloRising, SkyscraperCity, and AARoads, where I post pictures of local projects.

In fact, many of the pictures I take for these sites can be found on my Commons profile as I only take them for public use with attribution.[a]

Here on Wikipedia, the scope of my content creation is somewhat limited to Upstate New York and the Buffalo area, but I am open to exploring new things. That's what this project is all about.

In reality, I've been on here since 2006, but primarily in the form of test accounts for childish edits before 2010.

If you want to know what books and resources I edit with, take a look at my WorldCat profile here. Each article has its own list.

Philosophy

Pictures

  • I don't agree with those who say Instagram has more value than Flickr; I use both, too. One is akin to a Polaroid instant camera for special moments, and the other is for showcasing, examining analyzing every pixel in an image.
  • I do agree with the concept of freely licensed images reigning king on Wikipedia. There is always a way to document a subject without sacrificing quality or encroaching upon copyrights.

Editing

even This editor is an eventualist .
meso This editor is a mesopedian .
