Photojournalist, Artist & Arts Educator based in Los Angeles. I love long walks on the beach and iced chai-mate-lattes! WordPress is a fantastic tool for art projects! For creating culture! For expressing identity! And yes, if you must, even for making money! Before 2007 I was one of those “Copyright All Rights Reserved” types. Then in 2007, I met Richard Stallman at BarCamp Los Angeles. And I met Jon Phillips, then a Creative Commons evangelist, at Pixelodeon. I had a Damascene Free Culture conversion. Like so many converts, I became a tedious proselytizer. I also blogged with Blogger at the time. A friend asked me why I didn’t put my money where my open-source-mouth was, and switch to WordPress instead. So I did. And I haven’t looked back since. OK, I’ve looked back a little. I had a dubious flirtation with Ghost blogging software. And Joomla. And Jekyll. And it’s possible I have whined about Gutenberg more than once. Still, I’m running dozens and dozens of WordPress websites.
