My name is Weston Westmoreland. I am an engineer born in 1972, married, have two little devils. I speak three languages, have traveled some and my defining feature might be my curiosity. I hand-draw since I was a kid and drawing is a wonderful way to look at things in detail, to actually see them. Photography is an extension of this. I have always loved to look at things, see them, and think about what I see. I spent a few years on my own and I enjoy being by myself. I have lots of hobbies but I am not too good at any, because I want to learn a little of everything. Besides, it is not the final result that I seek, it is the process.I have always lived around dogs and I own a boxer I love even when she tries to fart-kill me systematically, I have discus fishes, a cat, newts, tadpoles, salamanders, carnivore plants, orchids, and lots of other creatures, from birds to praying mantis. I love assembling scale model vehicles, movies, TV series, I am a bad padel player, a mediocre soccer player and a slow trail runner. I run in all weather conditions because I love nature and because it is a fundamental part of my mind balance. It is quality time to let my soul wander. I enjoy spending time with my friends, and love long conversations that start in the evening and stretch into the small hours. Ah, I even played (badly) in a minimalist rock band, sang till it rained, and I love to read. If I have to pick one single hobby, that’s reading. Only reading is not just a hobby, it feeds the soul. I am nobody particularly special, but I am me. Well planted on both my feet.
I believe the most important thing I will do in my life is rise my children, and that the key to happiness lays in valuing the little ordinary things we only appreciate when they are gone. I know life can deliver terrible blows, but that most of the times our satisfaction as human beings depends on our perspective and determination. I think that misery comes mostly from despising what we have. I believe happiness can be learned. All these thoughts have given shape to the phrase that is, if any, my life motto: Take Nothing for Granted.
