To my first-time viewers, I am Drew, and this is for my JRN.340 class. I’m a photojournalism student at CMU, a published author as well as lead guitarist and frontman for a local band. Yes, playing and singing is tough, I would agree that you can only devote 100% of your attention to anything. So, if one plays poorly, it leaves room to sing poorly as well.

I am a wildlife/landscape/nature photographer by choice; I can’t ever get enough of the outdoors. I have photographed everything from wild bears (much too closely, at that) to the elusive Kirtland’s warbler.

On top of being a grit and spit outdoorsman, I’m also a huge nerd. Odd combination, I know. One time, while doing a self-portrait shoot with my movie-quality lightsaber back in the woods a ways, a skunk stumbled its way into my shoot and made a big stink about the whole thing. Some beings just aren’t as considerate as they really should be, especially when their evolutionary advantage is death by smell. I have never run so fast in my life.

Well, that likely is more than enough of an introduction, I wish you well.
