My Bio

I am the Lore! (Short for Laurence.) I'm a bit of an oddball, an old soul at home in the forests more than peopled lands. I'm a born idea man (head in the clouds) and a writer by habit. I write scifi/fantasy and I photograph nature, which can be as much or more breathtaking than make believe.


Just a note-- I owe a lot of my photographs (I think) to my beliefs, which are my own mixture of paganism, fairy beliefs, elementalism and earth worship. Getting close to the world with my camera, and capturing it for others to see, is part of that. So it doesn't seem fair not to mention it somewhere.


Other details: I've lately begun to sell my photos! It's a long and difficult process to put my stuff out there, but I'm getting there. I work in retail as a manager, I'm 30, though I look a LOT younger. I'm a transgender man and proud of it. I'm admittedly pretty strange and different, but I'm proud of that too! Basically I have a lot of self confidence and creativity, though admittedly not much common sense. I hope to one day work and make money with just my art (writing and photography.)


I live in Palm Coast, Florida, and spend a lot of my photography dreamtime in Flagler just down the street.

Just dropping a line to say I've been really sick this summer due to the weather. For the same reason I haven't been out taking pictures nearly at all. The combined heat and humidity in florida basically gives me asthma attacks among other issues if I stay out in it longer than 10 minutes. I miss last summer! It was almost nice, especially compared to right now. Today though it was overcast and windy, and between those I managed to go out and stay out long enough to take some pictures. Spent time with an awesome little dragonfly and saw swarms of others flying around. These pine trees at one of my haunts were only knee high two months ago...

Despite living half an hour from St Augustine, I'd never visited the Alligator Farm before. Money constraints and a poor vehicle were a couple of the reasons. So this Spring (with those issues somewhat taken care of) I decided to attend! I brought along my new Sigma 150-500 lens for the gators and the nesting birds. And...my god, was it a gorgeous eye-opening and amazing trip. Two trips, since I went back a couple weeks later. Hundreds of birds roosted on trees above 50+ alligators and crocodiles. Now, birds and gators are 2 of my 3 favorite creatures. I seek them out in the wild to observe and enjoy as well as photograph them, but it's diffi

I've decided to offer some one-on-one photography classes. It may take off, it may not, but I've got some great locales to shoot at and plenty of experience. Plus I keep running into new photographers just starting--and they have a lot of questions for me! So I'm really excited. I have only one problem, no idea what to charge! Anyone have ideas or advice as far as that goes? I don't want to overcharge, but at the same time I'd like to make some money out of the venture. One of my friends charges $20 for 2 hours, the other $40. Whereas others I've seen online charge an ENORMOUS amount of money. Not really looking to do that, seeing as I wouldn
