writings and other ways to get to know the real me
short fiction
a few stories, some published, some not.
variety who? these people print my stuff, so be nice.
freelance articles
not much, thus far, but a sampling of articles from recent years. More on the way. In some distant future. 
another place that publishes me. Comes with bonuses, like the L7 photo session. It is much harder to get dogs to do those things than you'd think.
soap bubbles
Some images of the beautiful (and beautifully fluffed) of the world.
moviemaker magazine
Another place to find my gleanings.

beer frame/inconspicuous consumption
the perfection in a can opener. the perfection in a small 'zine devoted to noticing the small things in life. like how much cholesterol really is in canned brains. Paul Lukas come back to us now!

oh, yeah, my good buddy Steve. Get you some flash first.
