Ravens

Photographer, graffiti mural promoter, social activist

I'm a Quality Assurance consultant, with 24 years in telecommunications. My accomplishments were in a variety of technical and management positions , I now specialize in end-to-end methods and systems validation.
I like Hawking, and Hockney, and sometimes hockey. I've a laid-back approach to life, and a good sense of humour. Divorced years ago, two kids, grown up now and moved out (mostly). I like to bike and canoe and camp - skate and ski in the winter. I'll watch some sports - NASCAR, skiing, soccer - NOT golf or bowling. Like to listen to blues, some classical. Not a fan of country.
My real passion is photography, especially of graffiti in Toronto and Ottawa. I am an active volunteer in two youth groups that use graffiti murals as a tool to build stronger social newtowks in communities, prevent tagging, and beautify the area.
I live on a quiet street in Sn'Orleans, kids gone - is it time to join the rest of the boomers in a condo in the Market area?
Would I miss mowing the lawn?
