Profile Information

About Me:
Most published punk photographer from LA, 1976-1980, which keeps me busy. But my heart is in raw foods. Lost and kept off over 55 pounds for over 7 years due to raw foods! But I still eat cooked, drink, not enough exercise. Being around others into what I'm into will help me stay on track. Plus I LOVE to share info!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
It's really hard for me to find groups and topics according to subject. I wish there were an Index, so we could find threads and groups per topic.

This community is SUPER! I know A LOT of peeps, from my punk photos, from teaching, from art, from just living long enough. But in this community, I've found humor, compassion, fascinating topics/discussions and wonderful new friends (and a few who don't like what I have to say).

I could spend ALL my time reading and posting. "You're getting to be a habit of mine, can't break it" (that's from an old 1930's song from a Warner Bros Busby Berkeley-directed musical).

Namaste, blessings and gratitude to all of you who have accepted me into your world.
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
home-made sauerkraut and rejuvelac

GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

DO NOT ADD ME AS A FRIEND IF YOU HAVE MUSIC ON YOUR PAGE

Ok, so who doesn't love music? But when I'm listening to the Clash, or Bernadette Peters or who the hell cares what, and I get a friend request, and I click to that person, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC OVER MY MUSIC, both coming out of my computer speakers. Drives me outta my mind.

I promise not to bombard you with Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim and the Germs (other than written quotes) if you promise not to add me and subject me to your music. If that sounds awful, then don't add me. Don't write to me, don't bother me.

If I want to know what you listen to, GIVE ME THE CHOICE of hearing it. I actually do hate some music. You really wanna hear "Fiddler on the Roof," and I don't mean Gwen Stefani's take on if she were a rich girl? Oy vey, what a travesty. I hate her, but I love that musical. "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match" with peeps who won't bombard me with their music. URGH! I respect your tastes, now respect mine re music. Thanks! Namaste and all that jazz.

Jennylen, In response to the thread you posted call " passing judgement,negative energy: any...."

If you were attacked on a couple of your responses, Why not let Dhrumil know of these specific attacks and where they are and who posted them and ask for his help.

I don't think the forum is about voting off anybody. If you have concerns I think you can speak to Dhrumil

OH WOW, what you wrote reminds me of having my own fashion business in NYC. I know all about those woes of doing every job yourself. It is sooo much work to get all the pix up and organized. Can you get interns from art schools? Sometimes I would really luck out with smart ones (interns).
I've been laying super low hermit style the past few months so I have not gone to raw events either. Maybe we can try? I'd certainly love to meet you.
Aw, I used to be so jealous of those of you being there for it all back in the day. When I worked in NYC for a designer his company used to use this one car service that seemed to hire a lot of 50-60 yr old white rock guys. I used to GRILL them on their experiences about going to The Electric Circus or Fillmore East and The Mudd Club and Max's KC. And too on the scene out here. Just a few yrs ago I dated Michael Belfer of Sleeper and Tuxedo Moon.. You remember him? Sweet guy. Super talented.
I understand your're superbusy, but lemme know if'n you wanna have tea or go to some raw thing. CHEERS!

LOVE your photography. I've procrastinated plenty at work by looking at what I could on line. AND love that you went from punk to pure. So did I!

Hi Jenny,
I saw your post on the coffee post and really related. Now it's time for me to kick my tea addiction. Not easy though, being English!
My partner is an artist photographer too. I'm a painter.
Blessings 2 U,

Hi Jenny!

Lets meet in LA after New Years sometime! Or just e-mail me RawBryan@gmail.com what you have in mind. :D

I just did a in depth interview that explains why I do raw for a living and promote it:

http://rawepicurean.net/2008/11/06/bryan-au-an-interview-a-great-gift-giveaway/

It really captures the flavor of what I am about, why I promote RAW and more! There are also FREE GIVEAWAYS, DISCOUNTS, RAW SECRETS and more I hope you enjoy it! :D

Raw hugs,
Bryan Au

HI Jenny I am ok thanks! Just really focused on getting my RAW Infomerical Aired on TV that is my main focus and I have a lot of new projects and trying to finish my new 3rd Raw Recipe book so I don't have a lot of time to meet or hang out but I did do a meetup.com at RAWvolution but probably can't make it. I also sold my car to protest the war, gas, gas prices and I have been skateboarding taking the bus which is getting me a lot of excercise which is RAWesome but is taking me longer to get around and I can't hang out late because of bus schedules, I am saving up for a eco electric car or hydrogen fuel cell car...but we should meet that would rawck! After new years I will have more free time thanks!

I CANNOT receive emails! So if you write to me, or post something here, I will not be alerted. I'll find out when I check in, just like I do for myspace.

I was getting SO MUCH SHIT from other Ning groups that I changed my default email. It's valid, but I NEVER check it. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want to be bombarded by invites to other Ning groups.

But it's not hard to figure out my email addy. What's my name? Or go to www.jennylens.com and click on contact info. I'd love to hear from fellow raw foodies, but not the whole world inviting me to this group or that.

Stay raw, stay well!
