There are quite a few different things I enjoy doing; but first, I thought I'd travel back in time a little bit and show you one of my passions from a few years ago. In truth, it's still a passion today, but the once blazing fire has dwindled itself to nothing more than a mere single flame.

    It's music. Ah yes, sweet music. We all know it has a tendency to sway our emotions with a sometimes tremendous power, hurling us abruptly into some point in our history we otherwise wouldn't recollect. Some moment, that for a split second so crisp and so clear, we remember every detail of the surroundings. The smell of your grandparents home, the fragrance of your last lovers' perfume or cologne, even an odor or essence of a new home or place visited. It's astonishing how something so simple can literally throw us into a vortex of memories, leading us down the old street, "Memory Lane."

    Below are a few pictures that I treasure because they're moments I'll never forget. Locked into that Vortex and grooving to the sounds of a melody.
