DJ/Radio Producer-turned-Lawyer attempts to dress like a grown-up. Sometimes I comically fail. And I occasionally post fun stuff, like music videos, book-club reviews, or photos of beauty or oddity.
FYI: I was doing this entire blog from my Android phone, snatching moments out of my busy life for quick photos. But I hate auto-correct with a purple passion, so now I'm using the computer for most of the work. I am still using my phone for the photos, though. My photo sizes may be erratic, and the quality isn't stellar. I am not a professional blogger, and do not have time for lots of scenic poses with a great camera. I don't even own a great camera! However, I DO appreciate your continued feedback, even in the absence of photographic artistry.

The soul of the DJ
Reading this page is like someone opened a window into my heart...
I love vinyl and still have my old record collection. I'd like to get a turntable and play them again. Despite having to change the record every 20 minutes, there is something magical about analog recordings. I'm glad to see others hanging on to this old technology.
I do miss vinyl. Even working with CDs was good, because it was ultimitely cheaper, but still allowed the element of mix control, timing, spontineity, and artistry.
I used to look at photos of the Pioneer CD turntable deck like guys look at porn! I couldn't afford it at that time... but if I were getting cack into the business it would be my first purchase!
A few times, I worked with Mini-Discs and with Mac computers... it was AWFUL! I had no control over the finer points... and anybody who says a computer can beatmix like a human DJ has been taking too many drugs!
