I am Stanley and in this photo is my wife Diana and I. We love to travel and see old friends in new places. The photo was actually taken on Santa Monica Pier while we took a trip southern California this past May. We always try to experience unique things where ever we go. This particular evening in the photo was after a Dodger's game, and a fun afternoon wondering around Hollywood and playing video games at Dave and Busters. When we travel I also try to find street art where ever we go whether it is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, or graffiti in Los Angeles and all the way down Venice beach. Art and culture have played huge parts of our travel ideas because I enjoy getting ideas and inspiration in person. My wife is artistic herself, and she enjoys seeing awesome things with me. I am working toward trying to have a career at Nike in Portland, OR. I am also a sneakerhead because of my love for basketball, which began 1991 when I first watched Michael Jordan play basketball, and while the legend of MJ was being narrated by Spike Lee. Those early Jordan Brand commercial's for Nike also gave me an interest with film as well. Spike Lee has always been a director that has alway intrigued me, and captured my imagination. Graphic Novels are another media that I am very interested in as well. In the photo I am also wearing an Ironman sweater, because my love for animation came from comic books and graphic novels.
