Lex's profile

I am a writer and photographer living in a perpendicular universe where the micro-zeitgeist is likely to have changed yesterday.  My doppelganger lives in Texas.  That’s what he claims, anyway.

In a past life I was a journalist.  As a journalism student I received an embarrassment of awards for writing, editing and other activities, including, in 1985, first place from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in the In-Depth News/Feature Story category for a series on child abuse.  While attending Tarrant County Junior College – NW Campus (now TCCC) and the University of Texas at Arlington I had the privilege to count among my mentors and ardent supporters Kayte Steinert-Threlkeld (then at TCJC-NW, “The Northwest Passage”), Dorothy Estes and John Dycus (student publications, “The Shorthorn,” UT-A).

After school I went on to disappoint those friends with a short and undistinguished stint as a professional journalist.

The burden of guilt I carry for having disappointed my supporters has made me a diffident journalist, a somewhat better photographer and a tolerable writer and poet.
