jen capaldi Biography

i enjoy writing poems and short stories. i am a professional photographer by degree but not by profession as i do not have the proper equipment to use to develop my pictures, which i prefer black and white as opposed to color photos. i also am an artist. i like all genres of music except country and hard rap. i like all classical music, classic rock, alternative, modern rock and ambient artists like Enigma, Enya, Sarah McLagchlin, Tori Amos, Delerium, Lorenna McKenett, October Project, and Annie Lennox. i love too many other bands and singers to really name in classic rock and newer stuff to start naming off so i picked the ambient category because there aren't many truely good artists in that genre. but i will say that my young son has learned to love the Beatles, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, & the Doors under my listening to them all and many more. but they are his favorites. i enjoy reading, watching movies and and a few regular TV series as well as educational programs about ancient civilizations, archeology, anthropology, space, theology, and forensics. i enjoy sci-fi and fantasy moies best but a good horror or drama will do just as good, as well as stage classics like Gone With The Wind, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music and especially the Wizard of Oz as it was a truely great movie and my father grew up as a small child knowing Bert Lahr, the man who played the cowardly lion in the movie. my grandfather on my dad's side was a local theatre actor and was good friends with Bert for many years. i coach my son's baseball team (yes i am the only woman coach for a boys team at the league: -) .) i grew up with baseball being regular part of my life. my grandfather on my mother's side was a pitcher for the Philadelphia A's and then when they changed to the Phillies for them for quite some time. he is even referenced in a book about baseball in it's younger professional days. i enjoy nature and the elements. i love to camp, hike, fish and many other outdoor activities. i am honored to be a part of this site and have met some very good people here in the short time i have belonged and value thier friendship. Thank you all for your support and i look forward to continuing being a part of this site....
