Hello friends and friends to be on Steemit. I am looking forward to contributing hightly creative and entertaining content to this growing community.

So here is a very brief, mostly photographic, introduction to me, armadilloman (aka Timothy)

I am a "Jack of all trades" and somewhat a master of some. In my life I have been a photographer...

And I was taking complicated art selfies of myself decades before the invention of the selfie stick. So you will see lots of photos illustrating my words when I can.

And video as I have been a filmmaker, editor, and videographer, news producer...

My arm is complete-1.jpg

...never feeling quite right without a camera in my hand. I have worked on content for ABCNBCESPNCBSANIMALPLANETMSBBCFOXHISTORYCHANNELCNNMILITARYCHANNEL and even Al Jazeera. Plus 20 years of corporate and training video. Heck, first project I worked on was 16mm film cutting on a flatbed editor before anyone ever heard of computer editing. I been around the film and video production block about 19 times.

I'm an avid reader and writer of fiction, information, and non-broadcast screen plays....

I am also a carpenter, craftsman and artist with leather being my current chosen medium...

...Here I am pushing the boundaries of "what is a wallet" as a part of my "Great Accessories of the Apocalypse" series of wallets, belts and hats. Hey even War Boys need to carry their debit card somewhere. I am looking forward to posting some how-tos and how I-did-that videos and posts about my art. Here is my leather work FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ArmadilloLeatherWorks/

And I have spent much happy labor being a farmer and sometimes organic market gardener...

Here I am out hanging with my Ho's. Sexy, aren't they. I know a lot about gardening and farmers markets. Too much, actually.

I have been a teacher (college and, believe it or don't, Jr High).

But best of all, I am a humourist and story teller.

And oh do I have stories to tell. Get ready for flights of imagination (fiction and truth stranger then fiction), how-tos (the teacher in me) commentary and comedy (often mixed well and indistinquishible from each other).

So, follow me!

Oh, and I have a large house cat named Wanda Petronski. She's worth an upvote if nothing else.

Hi @Armadilloman
Welcome to the Steemit society.
Must say that you had a very interesting background. Love the way you have captured your "selfies" Looking forward to see more interesting pictures from you.

Cheers
@Gyldenhorn

I mastered the selfie 40 years ago. In part because everyone in the family but me were camera klutzes. If you wanted it done, you had to do it yourself.

Hey good luck with steemit it is amazing platform! Your cat is lookin´rad though

Wanda is...unique. Very conversational and, when she is in the mood, in your face. She is the computer cat as whenever I am at the computer she has to be in my lap facing the screen as well.

Welcome to Steem! I really dig the leatherwork!

Here's a helpful post to get you started :)

Thanks. In JR high shop there was a section on leather, and, strangely enough, since few things in JR high have much staying power, it took. I will post more about it soon.

@inquiringtimes I posted the first look at more leatherwork in the style of the wallet above, in case you are interested.

Welcome to steemit @armadilloman. I must say you are highly creative and funny.

Yes, the blessing and curse of my life. Thanks for visiting and come again!

Thanks @ablaze for the stop by and shout out. I popped by and did the same for you. I will have to give the freewrite that are doing a go. Fellow minnow, keep in touch.
