Me, Myself & I
- ray ii
- Downtown Los Angeles, CA, United States
- Ray Woods ii is a product of the American suburbs and public school system. As soon as he was old enough he ran for the safety of the big city. He attended The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied painting, drawing, chess and motorcycle riding. The last skill lead him to relocate in sunny Southern California, destroying several motorcycles in the process. Selling 5 paintings in 10 years nudged him into regular work. After working diligently at four of the five major media conglomerates in the US he cashed his last check, sold all his domestic possessions, packed a back pack and headed off. Spending much of 2007 traveling and shooting photos in Asia he returned to the US, before heading to Easter Island for 34 days to celebrate his 40th Birthday. Here he was met with shock and surprise from several groups of Suburban Americans by the duration of his stay on "such a small island." "It's not that small if you have to walk it." he replied, then finished off his birthday bottle of champaign. And walked.
